For any queries about Greens and Greenkeeping in Manawatu, contact the Greenkeepers' Association.
The Association meets as required.
The Annual General Meeting is in June.
Most meetings are held at Hokowhitu Bowling Club.
The objectives of the Association are:
To foster and advise on the upkeep of lawn bowling greens and to act in conjunction with other
research associations (ie. NZSTI).
The Association is responsible to Bowls Manawatu for assessing greens (both natural and synthetic)
throughout the Manawatu region and providing recommendations as to what greens are suitable
for tournament play.
All clubs and convenors/ greenkeepers are strongly encouraged to join the association to take
advantage of the knowledge and expertise available and the latest advancements to natural and
synthetic green maintenance.
Meetings/ field days are scheduled throughout the year.
Clubs will be advised of dates, times and venues as necessary.
