As I look forward into the upcoming month I begin to wonder if I will have time to draw breath. Saturday sees the rearranged Humphrey's Cup a Pairs Fourball Par competition (plus minus & half) on current scoring you will need to be in the plus 9 range to be in the money.
Sunday sees the annual match against the Timaru Golf Club for the Orbell Cup and the Centennial Salver. This is reputedly the oldest inter club mixed match in the Southern Hemisphere and one where there has been and still is a fierce rivalry built up over a number of years. Currently both trophies reside south of the Rakaia and we are looking to reverse that result. The games are a mixture of Foursomes in the morning (the inside paddock) and singles in the afternoon - 18 holes. Given the numbers involved and tee off from 9.00am the course will be be closed until mid afternoon.
On a personal note Friday sees another outing for the Food Fairy with the Ladies who Golf Luncheon. Given the hectic past week planning and implementation are less advanced than would be otherwise expected at this stage so anything may or may not yet happen. The day is complicated by an 8.30 shotgun start to allow the Canterbury Eagles Golfing Society to run its tournament in the afternoon.
Next Monday I am taking a days annual leave to play golf with some colleagues from the North Island who are on a golf tour holiday so at this stage I will be playing 4 days in a row. I am not sure my old and decrepit body will stand the stresses and strains but a report next week will follow.
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
