- Many of you will have heard that Andy Rutter, former Assistant Course Superintendent at Waikanae, has been appointed Course Superintendent to replace the recently departed Darren Shaw. Andy has been a great worker over several years and has learnt his trade at our course. It is, therefore, most fitting that we are now reaping the benefit of his training and considerable experience and expertise.

5 Holers
- 30 Apr 2009
- Waikanae Golf Club
- Some of you will have been curious to know what this term means. It refers to a small group of mothers whose children attend kindergarten and who have taken the few hours available to them on a Monday morning to learn the game of golf. It was made possible by a grant from NZ Golf which covered their tuition fees for a number of lessons from Kevin Smith. Now that their tuition period is over, the

We will all be mightily relieved when we no longer have to dodge the ever increasing and deepening potholes that are such a feature at present. For at least a day or two, no vehicles will be able to enter this area. This means we will all have to park on the roadside – an inevitable convenience but one that w

BNU Div 16 26/04/2009

- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- A classic local derby full of controversy, goalkeeping howlers, total commitment, raucous home support and a fortunate 4-3 victory for the Pints. The absurd length of the Pints subs bench meant there was a continuous rolling sub situation and what seemed often to be a minimum of 13 players on the pitch for them at any one time.

- Wellington architecture blog Eye Of The Fish has an interesting discussion on the Memorial Parkway, the strip of land in front of the War Memorial in Buckle Street that was intended by the last government as an extension of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Given the proximity of this area to the Basin Reserve, there's been some conjecture that the two projects would end up being linked by the transport planners. It's worth taking a look at both the original article and the comments that follow.
