Final Note:
We will be making a move to Clarks Beach Golf Club for April 2nd, 2027; so lock that into the calendar and then perhaps look to go north of the bridge, as the Auckland committee are trying to open up to new players.

On behalf of the Auckland Committee, many thanks to all our sponsors and attendees.
