Since its inception, and still today, Te Marua Golf Club relies on a serious level of support from volunteers to assist with the adminstration and in the early days, maintenance of the course itself. Times and requirements change and eventually the point was reached where it became necessary to employ staff in order to be able to maintain and adminster this fabulous regional amenity and meet the growing demands of a growing population. But the need for volunteers remained – and remains today.
Below are the names of key people who have contributed significantly to the success of Te Marua Golf through their efforts in and around the club, in some cases through a principal/executive role, in others as a consistent and generous helper and supporter of the Club in its operation and activities.
