Congratulations to Matt McLean who has been selected by Canterbury to play in the NZ Men’s Interprovincial at Whitford Park GC from 24-28 November.

38 players braved cool, breezy conditions on Tuesday for night 2 of the 6 night series 2. The scoring on the more difficult back 9 was still pretty hot in both comps.

The COVID-delayed Twilight series 1 also concluded on Tuesday night with both comps going down to the wire. Series 1 was an 8-week series with the 5 best stableford scores counting. For the Ladies a score of 20 points on the final night gave Lynley Gainsford (98) the win over Victoria Webb-Smart (95) with Jo McNicholl 3^rd (92).

Pioneer and Chris Sweeney have been great supporters of HGC for many years.
