🍊⛳ CITRUS OPEN – DAY ONE DRAW ⛳🍊
The draw is out for Day One of the Citrus Open tomorrow – Saturday 5 September at Kerikeri Golf Club.
A few important things for all players:
⏱️ PACE OF PLAY
We’re aiming for rounds of 4–4½ hours maximum. A Course Marshall will be out keeping an eye on pace. If your group falls behind, you’ll be asked to pick up the pace.
As this is a Net tournament, if there’s any doubt about where your ball may have finished, please play a provisional ball rather than having to return to the tee.
⚠️ Picking up on a hole will disqualify you from the Gross and Net competitions, although you’ll still be eligible for the Stableford.
☕ FOOD & DRINK
The kitchen will be open from 7am for breakfast and coffee. Food and drinks will also be available near the 10th tee during the day.
After your round, each group will receive a complimentary players platter.
🏌️ REGISTRATION
Please register in the Golf Shop at least 20 minutes before your tee time. Your scorecard will be provided once registration is complete. If you still need to pay, bringing the correct cash would be appreciated.
✍️ AFTER YOUR ROUND
Please make sure all scorecards are correct, legible and signed. Nominate ONE person from your group to take all four cards to the Golf Shop.
Please DO NOT enter your own scores.
When the cards are handed in, your group will receive a ticket for your complimentary platter — don’t lose it!
🎟️ MEMBERSHIP RAFFLE – $20
Our annual raffle is running again, with the winner receiving a year’s membership at Bay of Islands Golf Club – Kerikeri.
🏆 DAY ONE PRIZEGIVING
We’ll present the Daily Stableford and Novelty prizes after play, plus a Lucky Draw prize — you must be present to win.
Thanks again to all of our sponsors for helping make the Citrus Open possible.
Good luck everyone, enjoy the weekend and play well! 🍊⛳
