Once again this Saturday I have drawn the short straw as the early starter so the morning players had better all be on time to the first tee at least. Competition of the day is the first round for the War Memorial Cup and qualifying for the Borthwick Vase a nett stroke round with three grades. The second round for both competitions is on the following Saturday 19 September and the best 8 nett scores qualify to play-off by match play on handicap.
Sunday sees the next round of the Mixed competition with the Islington Cup as the trophy with teams best ball stroke net being the match of the day with a multiple tee start 1 & 16 from 12.30. The event is sponsored by Little India Bistro & Tandoor so we are expecting a good turn out. The entry fee is $22.50 which includes the aftermatch dinner so get your names down as soon as possible.
There a strong contingent of Club members heading up to the Hanmer Open over the weekend where there will be at least three rounds of golf - so play well and do not over indulge as there maybe danger rather than safety in numbers! The Board meets on Wednesday and there looks to be a number of interesting items on the agenda, I will report further on what I am able next week.
On a personal note my son had his seventeenth birthday on Monday 7 September, his College Ball in on Saturday and the following week he heads away to Vietnam on a school trip. Given this follows trips to Wellington for Model United Nations and Dunedin for Big Sing, needless to say in the interim I remain poverty stricken!
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before!
