Coring has been completed so this weekend’s competition is a stableford on the newly cored greens – aka a Holey Stableford.

The greens will be a little slower than what we are used to so make sure you hit them to the hole. The weather forecast for Saturday is looking like it will be southerly and cloudy with occasional rain. If you decide that you do not want to play, please contact the Proshop and cancel your booking, don’t just not turn up. By not cancelling your booking you cause frustrations to your playing partners who wait for you, and delays in the field for waiting. It also can mean some players are left to play on their own or need to join another group at short notice. Members are reminded that you need to enter the competition of the day and play in a pair so your scorecard can be completed. Members should not be playing as a single on Saturdays.

Last weekend the Cancer Charities Shotguns were well supported, and some good funds raised for the Breast and Prostate cancer charities.

Great to see some members making the effort to dress up – well done Kim Dale!

I played in the morning and it was good to play with members that I don’t normally play with. By all accounts the fields flowed well and in both the morning and afternoon the rounds were under 4 hrs. For those who did not attend the prizegiving’s at the end of play and were place getters the Proshop will be holding onto your sleeve of balls if you had a two, or you will have been credited into your Proshop account the prize money. Please check the Proshop board for full results from both the morning and afternoon. The next planned shotgun is the Christmas closing day on the 12^th of December, which will be a two-start shotgun.

The Ladies Tekapo Luxury Apartments Shootout competition is coming to a close shortly, with the final’s day planned for Sunday 1^st of November. The Men’s Peninsula Beachfront Resort Shootout finals day is scheduled for the 22^nd of November, with the final round on the 14^th of November. There are 75 entries with the top 19 to qualify for the Sunday. There are 4 qualifying rounds left for those players who are close to the top 19 to make it to the Sunday shootout.

Results:

A big thanks to those volunteers who helped on Monday clearing cores from the greens – it was very much appreciated by the greens staff and made their job a lot easier.

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.

The team were looking forward to the final 2 rounds on home soil, with an outside chance of making the semi-finals/final day.

We wish the top 4 finalists the very best of luck on finals day and we will dust ourselves off and prepare to go again next year.

The team took on a quality Russley side at Waimairi Beach last Sunday knowing they needed a win and other results to go their way if they were to have any chance of making the top 4.
