“Last year, we celebrated our centennial anniversary here in Gisborne, which is a very hot place at the best of times. Having a carpet green adds to the heat. It only takes one of our many thirty-two plus days to reach temperatures in the middle of 45 plus degrees, and 36 to 38 around the edges. This is a very real health and safety issue for our members - and global warming will only make things hotter!”
“We have the support of over seventy active members, with a great balance between men and women, plus dozens of additional parents and other supporter groups.”
“We play on the only artificial green in Gisborne, which allows us to play summer and winter because our greens drip dry instantly.”
