Happy Holidays from RBGC
Bec O'Neale, Club Manager
Meri Kirihimete and all the best for the holiday season to our members and your families!
Another year has just flown by (seriously, where did it go?) and, once again, we are ready for the summer season to start. With just one more sleep till Santa, I want to say a big thank you for your support over the past year. It's been a challenging one for everyone and I'm very appreciative for the kind words, patience and help we've received from you all.
On behalf of myself, the Committee and our hardworking staff, I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy (uneventful) New Year!
Cheers, Bec

Course Update
Our course is very popular over the holiday season, please help us to keep play enjoyable for all by booking your round online.
Those that have visited us recently will know that we have a kiosk for printing/entering of scorecards. This is located in the foyer. You can also use the digital scorecard option via the DotGolf and GolfNZ apps on your smartphone (if you are a golfer and haven't downloaded these yet, do so - it's a much easier way to book your round).
Our office is staffed from Boxing Day through to 8 January. Kaitlyn will be available to help with bookings, green fee payments, and general queries. You can either pop in to see us, or call the office on 06 372 3416.
Green fee checks will be conducted on course, so remember to collect your orange bag tag and display it on your clubs. If you've paid your sub but haven't received your tag yet, these are available for collection from the office or bar.

Tennis Courts Update
Our courts are finished! We are excited to say that the long awaited netting was installed yesterday, so the courts are in full play again.
Please remember to pay your court fees. All memberships include use of the court facilities (you may be asked to provide proof of your current membership). Both cash and QR code payment are accepted, if you want to book a court time you can contact the office on 06 372 3416 or pop down to see us.
The final signage for the courts will be installed next year. Until then, remember that the courts are for tennis only and no bikes/rollerblades/scooters/skateboards are allowed as these will damage the new surface.
Thanks to all the generous sponsors, volunteers and our tennis committee who have made this possible.
