36 Hole Tournament Postponed
09/09/2013
Unfortunately the Paeroa Golf Club committee has had to postpone this years "Visique O'Hagan" 36 hole tournament on the 14 and 15 September.
Feedback to the committee suggests that there are many reasons for a lack of entries, including the fact that many clubs are just starting their championships. The committee knows we have a popular tournament, however, a lack of entries this year means that but circumstances dictate.
Our apologies to the few who have paid already and possibly made accommodation arrangements. A refund will be sent to you.

Women Win 9 Hole BOP Pennants Final
|
16/05/2013
Paeroa competed at the Women's 9 hole BOP Pennants final at Waiotapu Valley on Monday 13 May, and after competing in the final for the last two years, claimed a win in their third final by an outstanding 17 strokes. The 2013 competition saw club teams from Tairua, Te Aroha, Thames, Whangamata and Paeroa entered in the Thames Valley Zone. For the third year Paeroa were Thames Valley Zone winners, sending them to Waiotapu Valley. The team of Dell King, Rae Thorp, Joy Watton and Barbara Sutton-Bruce competed against Omokoroa (Central Zone winners) and Taupo (Southern Zone winners). It should be noted that, while many other competing clubs have a large number of team members to choose from, our Paeroa Team won the competition playing with the same four women for the whole season. |

BOPTV 9 hole Pennants began in 2010. No teams from the TV Zone enter the competition that year. In 2011 four clubs - Tairua, Te Aroha, Waihi and Paeroa - participated in the nett competition, played over three rounds. The Paeroa team of Dell King, Rae Thorp, Joy Watton and Vivienne Bishop were the TV Zone winners and went to Te Teko to compete against Ohope (Easter Zone winners), Omokoroa (Central Zone winners) and Taupo (Southern Zone winners). Paeroa were runners-up to Omokoroa. In 2012, with the addition of Whangamata, there were now five clubs in the TV Zone competition and Paeroa were TV Zone winners for the second year. The team of Dell King, Rae Thorp, Joy Watton and Barbara Sutton-Bruce went to Whitianga for the Zone final against Omanu (Central Zone winners) and Taupo (Southern Zone winners). Omanu won the trophy that year.
This years result is a fantastic achievement for the Women and the club is very proud of their success. In her winners speech Dell King, the team captain, recited a famous New Zealand quote by stating "At last, we've knocked the bastard' off!".

Pennants Team Has Biggest Win of 2013
06/05/2013
Paeroa’s pennants team played in the penultimate round of the 2013 pennants season against Cambridge at the Narrows Golf course, now rebranded as Riverside following the merger with Lochiel, on Sunday 5th May.
The weather was variable with great weather in the morning which helped the team off to a 3 – 0 foursomes result in Paeroa’s favour.
The conditions in the afternoon were dismal with heavy rain and limited visibility to start the round off to windy with light showers mixed in with short periods of fine weather.
The last match didn’t complete till just before 6pm in darkness. The members of the Cambridge and Paeroa teams gathered around the 9th green were unable to identify which player had hit the first shot into the green from inside 150m. The Cambridge player needed the pin held from inside 20 feet so he had an idea where the hole might be.
Despite the conditions the Paeroa team performed very well to win the singles 4-2 for an overall victory margin of 7-2.
This result puts the Paeroa team in second place behind unbeaten Hamilton with Narrows and Tokoroa one point behind us with Putaruru 2 points back.
Lochiel got off the mark with a win over Matamata so that Cambridge and Lochiel are level on 2 points each and they play each other in the final round to determine which team survives to play in Div 2 in 2014.

Prebble Cup Team Falls Short of Final
01/02/2013
An on-form Horsham Downs team proved too good for our Prebble Cup squad, knocking our boys out of the competition and dashing all hopes of three consecutive wins.
The semi final, played in Morrinsville last Sunday, saw two very strong teams facing off for a place in the final. Despite a well fought morning foursome session, seeing both teams square on two point each, Horsham Downs gained advantage in the afternoon singles and ultimately won the day 7 - 5. The Paeroa squad played very sound golf, and were in the competition for a good part of the day, but unfortunately they could not match the form of their opponents.
As last year's champions Paeroa will now play host to the final on the 12th May, where Horsham Downs will face off against Matamata for the coveted trophy.

More Success for Championship Pennants
23/04/2013
The Championship Pennants Team continued their winning form with a narrow 5-4 win over Matamata at home in Paeroa on Sunday.
Local knowledge allowed the team to get off to a great start in the morning foursomes, winning all three matches and taking a 3-0 lead into the afternoon. The singles matches, however were not quite so successful, yet the team still got the vital 2 wins they needed to finish the day as victors.
Paeroa currently sits in 3rd equal position with Putaruru - both teams just 1 point behind the second placed Narrows.
Two rounds remain, on the 5th and 19th May at Narrows and Tokoroa respectively.

Sunday Foursome Competition Underway
15/04/2013
A new competition was trialled last Sunday as a means of encouraging more people to take up the game of golf, with very positive numbers and feedback received!
The competition was played in a foursomes format over 9 holes, with members encouraged to partner with a non-golfer. Numbers for the first day were very pleasing, with 14 pairs playing.
All participants were very enthusiastic and keen to continue the competition. The next round will therefore be held on the 28th April, and if it continues to be successful will run through May and June. Entry is $10 per pair, midday sausage sizzle with tee off at 12:30pm.
The first round was a lot of fun and it would be great if more members would find a non-golfing partner and come along on the 28th.

Coring Postponed

Hole 2 Bridge Repaired
|
15/01/2013
After widespread flooding late in 2012 members were left unable to cross the stream down the Hole 2 fairway, as the bridge was washed off its foundations. Thanks to the efforts of numerous club members, but particularly Peter Lowe, the bridge is now back up and running. Not only is it back on new foundations, but it has also been relocated slightly further downstream to a more suitable location closer to the fairway. Special thanks to Peter and everyone else who pitched in to get the bridge back in place. |
The new and improved bridge down Hole 2 fairway.
