The Inglewood Golf Club committee want to acknowledge the passing of John Waite, one of the clubs long standing life members, on Saturday. John spent 25 years driving out from Tarata to mow the clubs fairways and rough on the old gang mowers. These mowers didn't reverse so if you came up against a tree you had to get off the mower and disengage it to push it back. The club extends its sympathies to Jane and the family.
