I think it is time for you to get out your dairies and start entering a few dates as the golfing programme steps up a gear. On a personal note I am in Christchurch all week with a full schedule of mediations, my son departs on his school trip on Tuesday morning and the Mens Committee meets on Wednesday so I should have enough to be going on with in the meantime!
Saturday sees the second round of the War Memorial Cup and Borthwick Vase Qualifying both Stroke Nett events. In the Vase competition the best 8 nett scores qualify for matchplay on handicap in what is always a very closely contested knockout. The Metropolitan team also graces the fairways of Shirley in their end of year get to together so it may pay to steer clear of the Sir Bob Charles Longroom on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully I will be in a condition to do the announcements at the end of play.
Fathers & Sons together with Mothers & Daughters Bowl is featured on Sunday with tee off from No.1 tee at 12.00 noon onwards in a four-ball best ball stableford. The entry fee is $20 per pair and includes a meal after the golf, entries are being taken at the pro shop only one of the pairing needs be a member and there is an "other pairings" category. Sunday also sees the first round of the President's Grade competition with us being drawn against Avondale at home. Good luck to Dennis Doherty and the team, no doubt reports will follow in due course.
As mentioned last week we have two teams qualified for the Finals Day of Inter Club set down for Sunday 27 September at Russley. Our Woodward Cup Team plays Kaiapoi while our Blank Team plays Waitikiri so please can we have a huge turn out of Club support for our two teams. So far this season our Woody boys have been well supported with caddys and club members and I know it means a lot to the team and as individuals to know the Club is fully in behind them.
The next Mixed match is the Hill Skinner Cup for Husbands & Wives on Sunday 1 November again for this competition only one of the pairing needs be a member to qualify and there will be an "other pairings" section. For those of you who wish to play some more mixed golf before then our annual match against the Timaru Golf Club is scheduled for 11 October 2009 at home so if you played last year or wish to play please see me as soon as possible.
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
