As you will note from the programme, coring will commence late Sunday and all going well we will open again for member play on Saturday 17^th.

Tomorrow there are good fields for both Cancer Charities Shotguns. It has been a while since the club has had shotgun start on a Saturday, let alone two. Shotgun starts are a great way to meet new members and play in a different group! A few details to remember:

         · Entry is $15.00 cash – please bring cash as the Proshop will run out of cash if everybody tries to use Eft-Pos!

         · You will be allocated a tee from the draw sheet that will be posted in the Proshop and at the registration desk. Do not assume what Dotgolf tells you is your tee.

         · Competition of the day is stableford and your entry fee includes net eagles, twos, nearest the pin and a straightest drive on no. 9 fairway. There is a prize for best gross in the morning and afternoon for men and ladies.

         · For the morning players – be at your tee ready to tee off at 8.00am. You may be playing off #14 or #15 so you will need to allow time to get to your allocated tee.

         · Prize giving will be held at the end of the morning’s shotgun at 1pm ish, and at the completion of the afternoon competition.

         · Please wear pink or blue and support the cancer charities.

The course is closed Sunday for the double round of the Woodward Cup and for the rest of the week for coring. It will reopen on Saturday 17^th for a Holey Greens Stableford. Members will also notice that some gum trees have been removed on the 4^th and between the 7^th and 12^th fairways. There is a plan in place to replace these trees during the closure for coring to provide some protection for stray balls especially between 7 and 12. Please keep an eye on your ball and call “fore” if you are wayward off the tee. Giving players some warning of a stray tee shot is good golf etiquette and safety.

Best of luck for the Woodward cup team who have a double header against Bottle Lake (am) and Christchurch (pm) at home on Sunday in the final rounds to decide the semi-finalists for the Woodward cup. The Blank team have a tough match against Russley at Waimairi Beach to keep semi-final dreams alive.

Results: Saturday 3/10

Good luck for Saturday – the weather looks good for golf!

Member subs for the 2020/21 subs year should have been paid in September so if you are yet to pay please do so now as it is a very time-consuming exercise for the office to chase debtors.

New Zealand Golf is excited to announce the return of Make Time Play 9 – Road to The Open.

Everyone is busy, but it’s about encouraging all golfers to get outside and make time in their day to do things that are meaningful to them, to be active, to play with their friends and family, to take on a new personal challenge, and to have fun – and what better way to do that through the game we love!

From 1 October 2020, club members who hand in a 9-hole scorecard will be in the chance to win a trip to Queenstown in 2021 to play in a special 9-hole event with eight other golfers. We will announce randomly drawn winners at the end of each month with the last player to be announced in March 2021.
