This Saturday sees the penultimate round of the revised shootout with Match of the Day being a Teams Bamboozle Stableford, a competition that is both enjoyable and keeps everyone in the game. The Presidents team travel to the well known centre of golf further down Marshlands Road, called Everglades on Sunday and we wait with anticipation for the report.
October also sees two of our traditional inter club fixtures take place. The Timaru Golf Club visits on Sunday 11 October to play the Orbell Cup and the following week a Men's Team travels to Royal Wellington to play in the Tuson Cup weekend so we have a busy time ahead.
Over the next month our Club programme moves into wind up mode prior to the fairway renovation project and in the interim our course is being prepared for two open tournaments. In the week of the 12 October a Masters Women's Tournament for three days and then at Labour weekend the Shirley Open takes place.
The Shirley Open forms part of the Charles Tour and we are currently finalising the sponsorship arrangements to ensure another successful year. This is one event where we do seek the whole hearted support of the members both as volunteers during the 4 days of play and for the pro am.
The pro am provides us with the opportunity to host an event that can be successful and rewarding both for the club and the participating members. It gives members the opportunity to showcase Shirley at its best to their friends and business associates at its most challenging - set up for Tournament play.
If you have not already done so I would urge you to consider entering a team and joining the occasion or even becoming an associate sponsor. The pro am is scheduled for Thursday 22 October and the more teams the better the competition and the fun. For further information please speak either to me or to Struan at the office . Over the next few weeks get ready to hear a lot more about the Shirley Open and how you can assist the Club.
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
