What's Happening Week of 4 October............

We are moving into a busy period on and off the course so there is hardly time to draw breath!!

This Saturday we are once again playing the Alternate Course so we can accommodate the visit from Royal Wellington with a two tee start. The Tuson Cup is contested with an eight man team off the Blue Tees while the Veteran's Salver has an expanded/reduced team of 16. Currently both trophies are held by Wellington and we will be looking to redress that balance over the weekend.

Fourballs on Saturday and Individual on Sunday, in between much eating and drinking. In a break with tradition Royal Wellington do not arrive until Saturday morning so we will be unable to rely on the normal "travel" sickness that seems to stem from a Friday start! As well as Charles Whitwham and Peter Guthery having their teams fired up we plan to open the Pagoda to beguile the visitors on the way round and with the Alternate course some may get lost!!

Saturday sees Members Invitation Day where you can invite a guest to play at no cost - membership application forms will be available at the conclusion of the round just ask Struan!! Please note the field looks pretty full so if you have not got your name down do so as soon as possible.

Our Over 50's team start there 2010/11 quest on Sunday at Burnham, Woodward is at Avondale, Blank has been postponed and Simon was brought forward! Next week we have the PARNZ Mainland Masters and the following week the Shirley Open. The Volunteer list will be out this weekend together with the raffle so expect to be approached.

In the interim good golfing and I will see you at Shirley if not before!
