Alpine Classic has not been held for the past few years, although many members will have fond memories of the event which took place on several occasions a few years back.
Mike Gibbon, former club captain now resident in Hanmer Springs, has managed to obtain the facilities of the Hanmer Springs Golf Club for the event to be held this year on the weekend of 3 - 5 April.
The weekend has been selected to avoid as little clash as possible with events at the Club, school holidays etc. Unfortunately, the Sunday is the final day of the President's grade competition. It was not possible to obtain a weekend that was completely clean.
The format for the weekend is a 36 hole stableford competition along the following lines:
Friday pm - own arrangements, practice round at Hanmer or other selected venue.
Friday evening - welcoming drinks at Hanmer Springs Golf Club house followed by bbq meal and drinks/bar facilities (meal included in entry)
Saturday from 9am - 18 hole stableford
Saturday pm - own arrangements
Saturday evening - drinks and dinner at Hanmer Springs Golf Club (dinner included in entry)
Sunday from 9am - 18 hole stableford
Sunday pm - lunch and prizegiving
Entry forms will be available as soon as Mike has confirmed the catering costs. It is hoped that as many people as possible can find the time for this event. It is outside the school holiday period, so that there should be no problem obtaining suitable accommodation in Hanmer Springs. Entry forms will be circulated, and anyone interested should contact John Dickson, John Parlane or Ben Frampton to confirm entry arrangements.
