Lynne Roberts, Management Committee
I have been a member of the club for 18 years and been involved with rep golf for many of those years. I work in the horticultural/agricultural industry, currently as a commercial manager and have also been involved in research. I have previously been secretary of the Havelock North Tennis Club and captained the Crossman Cup Pennants Team for several years. I believe the club is in good heart at the moment. Some of the issues I would like to help with are ensuring there is a good balance of course access for members, and activities such as tournaments, that generate income for the club and increasing the number of junior golfers. I would like to see an increase in player numbers at twilight golf. I am interested in the members views on what is being done successfully and what is not and would like to work at making improvements where necessary.
