What's on 9 September 2022
Saturday 10th September; 11am Card Draw Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes (explanation below)
If you don't have a playing partner already, simply turn up on Saturday and the committee will match you up (If possible)
Explanation Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes; 18 Hole foursomes. Two players (A & B ) make up a foursome. Player A tees off number 1, player 2 plays the second shot, player 1 the third etc until the ball is in the hole. Score equals total number of shots taken. Hole 2 player B tees off, player A plays the second shot etc. The foursomes handicap is Player A & B course handicap added and divided by two. Your nett being the total gross minus combined handicap = Nett. After 18 holes the best nett (all foursomes) wins the Kitt Cup, 2nd Nett wins the Kerr Cup, 3rd nett wins the Hape Cup and 4th Nett wins the Simpson Tray
Cape Turnagain Golf Club.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel our Firm's Day which was to be held on Friday 9th September.
Hopefully we can have a better year next year and get all our tournaments played. Thanks Gwen Murphy
Saturday 17th September: Moving to 11.30am card draw. This will continue through the summer until the end of daylight saving.
2022 Ruahine Rosebowl. The round of men's tournaments concluded last Saturday with the Takapau 30 hole tournament. As has been reported before each of the tournaments at Pongaroa, Cape Turnagain, Dannevirke and Takapau has a round of the Rosebowl played. Overall this year, the Ruahine Rosebowl was awarded to Pongaroa, followed by Cape Turnagain, Dannevirke and Takapau. Special thanks to our members who have supported these tournaments this year.
Battle of the Saddle; Sunday 9th of October will be fourth occurrence of the Battle of the Saddle. This is a 10-man team match play tournament pitching Dannevirke’s best against Manawatu’s.
This year will be at Manawatu Golf Club, tee of is at 10.21am. Matches will be off the stick so we will be taking the 10 lowest handicap players that are available to play. Will be a good chance for some of our new younger members to have a taste of competitive match play the weekend before Greenwood Cup. Dannevirke currently holds the shield so it will be great if we can defend it.
Transport arrangements will be made closer to the day.
If you are available and keen to play, please get in touch with Craig Evans, Richie Gray or Peter Gregory.
The actual physical shield had been lost for the last two years but was found last week in a broom cupboard at Manawatu GC so apologies to both Richie Gray and Dave Hurrell who had been accused of losing it.
