Construction work is now well underway on our new 19th hole. This will be planted soon, to be ready in the autumn. This will also utilising turf from the turf nursery constructed last year.

Playing from the previous 10th women’s tee, it heads towards the 11th green, and is around 110m. It will be used in instances where another hole is out of play or work is being undertaken.

The green will be the biggest of any currently on the course, at approximately 525sq metres (and probably the biggest bunker on the course too!!) It has been dug out, and starts with a herringbone drainage system, with layers of gravel, a courser sand and then a final top layer of 300mm of sand.

This green will differ from the rest of the course, where greens are soil based, but with coring over the last 5+ years very slowly replacing the top layer with sand over time.

The 19th hole has been designed by Phil Tataurangi, who we are thrilled to be working with on an overall course masterplan which is currently in development. Phil is also working on the replanting of the 17th/18th boundary.

Finally please be mindful this is a working site, with machinery, staff and contractors working.

Central Otago Presidents pennants finals today at Dunstan. In the semi final, our team went down narrowly to Queenstown 3.5-2.5. Wins to Mike, Karl and a hard fought half to Benn.

Thanks to all of our players for a strong season. Many of the Presidents players are in further CO finals in different grades, and good luck to those players involved next Sunday at Alexandra.

As the dust settles after another huge tournament week, a massive thank you goes out to all those who helped made it a great success!

Firstly to Liz McRae as tournament convenor, who has undertaken this role for quite a number of years - thank you for your tireless organisation & work!

Also to mens/ladies club captains (Holly, Di, Glen, Grant) and their committees and volunteers.

David & his greenkeeping crew for their work in preparing the course, with a very wet winter and spring and greens/course being flooded numerous times!

Thank you also to Kim & Jane for their admin work, the team in the bar & cafe, pro shop and all the other volunteers.

Such weeks are difficult without sponsorship, and a big thank you to ANZ Private for their continued support as major sponsor. Also just as important all our other sponsors, too numerous to mention but please support our club sponsors and their support is very much appreciated.

Final thank you to all the players, and especially our visitors!! Hope you all had a great time, even if the golf maybe wasn’t as good as hoped for.

Look forward to next year!!

The fine run of form continues for Acton Smith. After taking the win in the Division 2 Stableford yesterday, he took out top spot in today’s 4BBB along with partner Michael Saunders.

Michael (left) and Acton (centre) are seen here receiving the trophy from club President Tony Brent. They had net 59, just one shot ahead of father & son pairing of Ian & Jeremy Haynes.

Today was the chance for players to win $25,000 courtesy of Gallagher Insurance with a hole-in-one on the 13th. Unfortunately it wasn’t struck, with Tony Ruddenklau the closest.
