PLUS: Friday scramble for early arrivals!

Message from the Te Puia Hot Springs Golf Club:

First Round Tee off is from 8am Saturday, please allow a bit of extra time getting here, as there are extensive road works including around our entrance on SH35.

Friday afternoon stableford scramble and BBQ for early arrivals.

So far there are four sixteens and a bottom eight this year.

If you want to play or know of anyone who can play, contact Mark Higham ASAP directly on 021 038 4364, as added to five current reserves we may be able to play five sixteens. Just three late entrants needed.
