| A new chapter for the course Farewell to Carl Rumble
The club wishes to announce that our superintendent Carl Rumble has taken a new position at Tauranga Golf Club and will be leaving on the 23rd August.
Carl has been with us since September 2017 and has done a stellar job at this club in his time. His work on the course has been exemplary, and more than that, he has grown strong relationships with the staff and members here and will be sorely missed.
The club also wishes to thank Carls wife, Leonie, for her time working with the club. We wish Carl and his family all the very best for his new role. Thank you, Carl!
What’s next for the course?
The Executive Committee wishes to congratulate Dirk Oberholster for his appointment as Course Supervisor.
Dirk is a long-standing member of Whangarei Golf Club and has volunteered his time for the role. He will be actively looking for volunteers to help out on the course.
He comes into the role with a strong background in rep golf here and in south Africa, where he looked after the greens of his club ranked #5 in South Africa. He is very much looking forward to the challenge.
Ben is almost fully qualified, and along with Dean and volunteer help we are confident that the course will continue to go forward in a positive way.
Dirk has been offered this role to support our green staff after Carl departs us. All course feedback from members is to be directed to Dirk please.
There is a now suggestion book in the shop, where any suggestions for the course can be added.
Sully tells a story of success A big round of applause to Sully (Paul Sullivan), who added a full club distance to his shot by improving his turn and increasing his speed by 6mph with his iron. Well done Sully, you have done us proud! | | | Want to be the next success story? So, you may have missed the last fitting day. No worries! Book a custom fitting with me. I can give you the tools you need to improve your golfing game. Sometimes it is something as simple as a shaft that's not long enough, or that your driver produces too much spin for your golf swing. Whatever the case, we are here to sort you out. Book a fitting > It's a hole-in-one for Joseph Reynolds! Congratulations to Josepth Reynolds for his first hole-on-one. Joseph braved some bad weather to knock his pitching wedge in the 4th hole, while his dad watched on. Well done bud!

There is now a “Fortnite Craze” – a computer game that has children locked in their bedroom. Addicted. And it's here and now. Not in far-away places. | | | Watch now > | | Our whole society needs to react to these challenges. We need to find ways to create more fun and enjoyment in the real world. Golf is the greatest game ever invented. No requirement to be a jock. Boys and Girls. Very social. Outdoors. Healthy. | | | Let us add balance | Have your child enroll into one of our group sessions to learn to play golf, and we’ll have them outdoors, interacting, learning new skills, and having a whole stack of fun they can take out onto the golf course. They won’t stop playing computer games, but for a couple of hours each time we’ll have them off the phone, out from in front of the screen, engaging in fun activity. | | Contact us > | | | | | | | | | | Thank you to our sponsors | We are proud to be working with the following partners: | Tee Sign Holders • Balance Advisors • Cooper Tires • Watermans World • Judge House of Ale • Specsavers • Summerset Retirement Village | Cart Sponsors • Electrical Design Installation • Specialized Maintenance & Welding • Eves Real Estate Richard Lyon • Forsyth Barr • Summerset Retirement Village | This mail was sent to {{contact.contact_email}} by Denise Pilbrow and is provided as a service for the members and guests of Whangarei Golf Club and has been supported and sponsored by advertisers in this email and our partner suppliers.
