In a glaring oversight I note that I have failed to record the outcome of the Denniston Cup Final. I am able to report that Doug McSweeney was successful over Michael Sidey. As you may be aware Doug has resigned as CEO of Canterbury Golf to take up a position with Otago Rugby. We wish him success in his new role and look forward to him perhaps returning to Christchurch (both the city and the Golf Club) sometime in the not too distant future.
As was astutely pointed out to me by Brian Tyro four Macrocarpas were removed on 8 not three as previously indicated in the blog. This observation is correct, upon the removal of the three it became apparent that the fourth tree was so deformed that not only was aesthetically displeasing it would be unlikely to survive any adverse weather so the decision was made to remove it at the same time. Hopefully the fairway will be cleared of debris by the time this blog goes to print or at least soon thereafter.
Friday night drinks had some added entertainment last week. Given the inclement weather Andrew Vincent made the call to move the BBQ inside and cook the sausages and patties. All was proceeding well until the fumes set off the fire alarms throughout the clubhouse. Reasonably soon thereafter the fire brigade arrived with 2 engines and a number of firemen. Fortunately the rain desisted while we evacuated the building but Andrew's nick name has now moved from "half day Harry" to "Smokey"!!
For those of you who have maintained an interest in the Top dog competition I am in a position to confirm that the final will played on Saturday with myself & Dean Palmer playing Niven Boyle & Ian Currie teeing off at the back of the field at 1.06. Details will not doubt follow particularly if we are successful.
