This week I am making a fleeting visit to Timaru with 4 mediations in 2 days so I suspect there will be insufficient time for any golfing interlude given the early hour at which darkness falls but you never know!!
The pressure to qualify for the Shirley Links Shootout continues with Round 12 of 16 taking place on Saturday with a Stableford competition 3 grades in place. Currently there are 23 players on 76 or better with 7 tied on 76 so you are going to have too post a good score soon to break into the field! The field will be baulked out by the "Mighty Metro Men"who are having their end of season get together culminating in a late lunch sponsored by the fines collected during the year.
While we may be unable to compete with the rewards of professional golf a cutting edge is entering into Saturday competitions as the jackpots have continued to grow after the last few weeks. The 2's jackpot is now in excess of $325 while the nett eagles is over $275 - you have to be in to win so pay up and get out and sink those putts!!!
Sunday sees this month's Mixed Match the G.E. Rhodes Cup a foursomes Flag Match played in sixes from No.1 tee starting at 11.30. As usual the entry fee will qualify you for not only the match of the day but also the meal afterwards. In a new initiative we have designated the night as a "Taste of Korea" with guest chef Charles Lee. Explanations of the food and customs of Korean cuisine will be provided during the course of the meal. Please support the Club and caterers with this new experiment and we may expand on it during the year with the tastes of other nations.
Shirley hosts the Canterbury Women's Provincial Championships on the 27, 28, & 29 August so the course will be closed on those days. On Saturday 28 a number of members (total yet to be confirmed) will travel to Clearwater an entry sheet will be at the proshop so get your names down as soon as possible at the weekend. If we have excessive numbers we will attempt to arrange reciprocals with some other clubs. More information will follow.
In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before.
