Men's Club Captain Report

Dear Members

Last week we played the Doug Cassels single par. Congratulations to Drew McMillan who was 6 up.

We had an internet problem at the club over the weekend which caused some issues with taking payments and printing cards etc. A big thankyou goes to Hannah and Graeme for manually entering every card into dot golf on Saturday afternoon. For those who have won prizes we will get this entered later this week.

Great news! I am delighted to announce Tim Rutherford from Platinum Homes is sponsoring the men’s and ladies club champs for 2026. We have two qualifying rounds next year for the mens champs so I encourage you to get involved.

More great news. Connor Howes has been selected to play in the Otago senior men’s interprovincial at Manawatu club from 2^nd December.

I had the opportunity to play a round of golf with Connor and thought members might like to know a bit more about him, so I did a quick Q&A.

Women's Club Captain Report

Congratulations to Kim Fraser, Susan Greig and Sandy Graham who represented Coastal in Coastal vs Country in the weekend in Alexandra. The team fought hard but unfortunately went down 5-7.

This Saturday is our Closing Day Partner's Trophy (foursomes format) and is the official conclusion of our 2025 calendar. We'll continue to run a stableford competition (along with the shootout) until opening day next year on January 6th and 10th.

Cheers
Hannah
