COVID 19 NZ GOLF GUIDELINES - Omicron is rife in our area, keep yourselves safe. It’s real.

A big shout-out to our members who are isolating with covid or because they are household contacts. Our thoughts are with you all. Remember, if you have cold or flu-like symptoms, isolate and get a test. RATs tests are free, do not buy from the supermarket. They can be ordered and picked up at the Pharmacy – click here. More information can be found here.

In the Traffic Light System, we are still at RED. There will be an update on 4th April.

  • So from Saturday there will be NO limits to outdoor gatherings with a Vaccine Pass.
  • 200-person limit indoor gatherings with a Vaccine Pass
  • Do not need to wear a mask outdoors
  • Face masks still required indoors
  • No requirement to scan

Wearing a mask inside is a no-brainer, protect yourself and others.

From 11.59pm 4th April there will be no requirement to use My Vaccine Pass.

FUTURE-PROOFING PAHIATUA GOLF CLUB – see Secretary’s email for minutes.

A special meeting was held on Saturday morning at the golf club with some 40 members attending. President Peter Bourke outlined his thoughts for the clubhouse, relating in particular to lowering the building. Pete took us through the many reasons why we have to do something to secure a decent clubhouse into the future. The meeting agreed in principle to support the move and a Steering Committee has been set up to investigate our options including funding. This committee consists of Peter, Fred Potini, Peter Johns and Mary McAvoy who have the power to co-opt or seek help of others. Nothing is off the table, including a new clubhouse.
