The Club plays host to a number of events this weekend - on Friday the Bledisloe Cup competition takes place with teams from Royal Auckland, Royal Wellington, Royal Queensland, Royal Sydney, and the Metropolitan; the balance of the field being made up by way of a Barbarians team and a team based around Indooroopilly. The teams stableford competition is followed by a formal dinner in the Club House.
Saturday and Sunday sees the playing of our match against Royal Queensland for the Queensbury Trophy in a matchplay format. The Trophy is not currently resident at Shirley so we will be looking to remedy that defect by the end of the weekend. On Saturday evening the entertainment is centred on the Rugby with all the teams heading to AMI Stadium to a corporate box so there should not be too many players around after the close of play!!
Hosting these events will place some pressure both on the course, the pro-shop and the Club House facilities so please be aware of the situation should delays occur for any reason. I am sure we will make our guests, even the Australians, very welcome. Remember fostering relationships such as these can pay dividends when you wish to have the odd round overseas!! Full reports will follow in due course.
Match of the Day is the Watson Cup a four-ball par competition so scoring is the best of the pair on a plus, minus or half basis. At the end of the field we will have the Simon Cup team playing against Harewood in what is a key match for our young team - hopefully everyone will be in before dark!!! We had anticipated using the alternate course but given the wet underfoot conditions will will use the traditional layout.
