Yes

Without this man the Tai Tapu Golf Club may not have been born. Sir Robert Heaton Rhodes donated all that land known as Rhodes Park in Tai Tapu to the Tai Tapu Golf Club and other Tai Tapu sporting bodies. Sir Robert was the first, therefore, in a line of well-respected Patrons of Tai Tapu Golf.

The table gives basic data about the Patrons of Tai Tapu Golf Club. It is hoped that it is correct in all respects but if not please advise. Many Patrons served in other offices before their election to the office of Patron. Those other offices included variously from President and Vice President, Club Captain and Vice Club Captain, to Treasurer, Secretary, Trustee, Member of the Main Committee (Management Committee) of the Club, and Convenor of a Sub Committee, such as Greens Convenor.
