For those of you who have not caught up with the news the Woodward Cup competition has been expanded to 11 teams for the 2010 season. In the Promotion/Relegation match held at Weedons at the weekend the two clubs to be promoted were Waitikiri and Rangiora, so unfortunately Weedons drops out with two other teams, Burham & Harewood, also being unsuccessful.
It now seems highly likely there will be a new format to the Blank & Simon Cups next year with the competitions being played on a Saturday on a fortnightly home or away basis over an extended 11 - 12 week season. During consultation as a Club we opposed the change believing it would have a detrimental effect on Club play and competitions the men's committee will now be reviewing the situation to access on what basis we may be in a position to field teams.
From informal discussions the changes may also impact on the Metropolitan competition although as yet the outcome is not clear. Canterbury Golf are also introducing the concept of Masters Golf for those over 40 who still wish to play competitive matchplay off the stick but only 18 holes per weekend. When combined with president's and over 50's there should be a place for everyone who wishes to play in an inter club competition.
