Saturday was an important day for the Club and the generosity of the members was overwhelming in that we raised $4500.00 for Ian Wagstaff and his family. A special thank you to Bryan Andrews and Struan Cain for all their work in making this a most successful and worthwhile day.
Bryan Andrews Auctioneers were the sponsor of the day and in addition to Ian funds were also raised for the Canterbury Golf Development Trust. The competition was Pairs Aggregate Stableford from the Blue Tees on the Alternate Course - a challenge for us all especially with the tees right back!! To provide for a fairer match Bryan provided both a morning and afternoon prize table however strangely this was the one day where the afternoon players seemed to have an advantage.
The morning winners were Richard Pearce & Martin Toon on 63 points from Jim Paulsen & Kevin McSoriley on 62 with Russell Lange & Michael Hadley on 60 in third. Three people made two's Mike Hadley, Graeme Watson & Vaughan McMillan qualifying for 3 balls each. In the afternoon Dave Morrison & Dave Robinson came in first with 71 points and were the winners of the Arthur Donnelly Salver, Steve & Matthew Hicks were second on 68 on countback from Tony Park & Dyuk-Hyun Kim.
In the afternoon ladies Janet Osborn & Amanda Isaac put together a respectable 64 points for a merit award. The winning team for the Christchurch Casino Shootout was Andrew Hopkins, Charles Whitwham, Dave Robinson & Dave Morrison - more details of this competition will follow. Six players made two's and each get 3 balls - Kerry Haycock, Bryan Pearson, Bryan Andrews, Paddy Helmore, Ian Walker & Duck-Hyun Kim.
Nearest the pin on 18 sponsored by Benjarong Thai Cuisine was Ian Walker while Graham Clark won the Linden Leaves prize for closest to the pin on 11 (normal 2). Closest to the pins on 3 (11) Philip Hong, 6 (7) Grant Mitchell & 12 (3) Paddy Helmore. Once again thanks to all who made this day a success and Bryan Andrews for his support.
