This is a big week for the Club although I suspect by the time you read this it may be more than half over!!
The Women's Masters event takes centre stage for the first part of the week with a field of over 60, including a large number of out of town visitors, participating in rounds on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - all good publicity and PR for the Club. We anticipate the field will continue to grow over the next few years to become a highlight on the Calendar.
Saturday is designated as Members Invitation Day where members can bring a guest and pay no green fees. As indicated previously this is a great opportunity for the Club to attract new members so I urge you to participate fully in this event. Membership application forms will be available on the day. Apologies in advance for my absence but I will be in Wellington.
A strong contingent of Christchurch members (approx 30) are travelling to the Royal Wellington Golf Club to participate in the second leg of the Tuson Cup celebrations. This year will be the 100th contesting of the Cup (allowing for the War years and it being played for twice a year earlier on) with there still some dispute as to whether this is the 100 or 101 year since the match between the two Clubs commenced. Whatever the position it will be a great weekend for those lucky enough to be attending.
Currently we hold both Trophies and we are sending an exceptionally strong senior team comprised of Bruce Taylor, Paul Dunn, Nic Fry, Tom Turner, Peter MacDougall, Charles Whitwham, Andrew Sloane and Peter Sim. A number of Club Stalwarts are in the second team including past Club Captains Mike Gibbon, David Page, David Hicks and David Robinson but I suspectl Geoff Beadel will lead the team in terms of seniority. A full report will follow in due course.
