Canterbury Golf Marquee At The Pegasus NZ Women's Open
25 February 2010
With the generous support of PGF and Hellers, Canterbury Golf have a hospitality marquee during the four days of the Pegasus NZ Women’s Open 25-28 February.
The marquee is 6m x 6m with an outdoor area, and is located overlooking the 10th tee and 18th green. It is available to members only.
The objective of the marquee is to have a place where Canterbury golf club members can go, get refreshments, have a rest, and meet other members while they are at the course. We anticipate that visitors would spend 10-20 minutes at the marquee then move on to viewing golf elsewhere.
Food and beverages are available for purchase in the marquee. They are being provided by Continental caterers.
Members will be required to produce identification to enter the marquee – this may be your membership card, golf bag membership tag or something similar. We will also allow immediate family to enter with a member ie. wife/husband, children etc.
Champagne & Strawberries
24 February 2010
The spectators at the Champagne & Strawberries Exhibition at Russley Golf Club on Tuesday 23 Feb were treated to a very entertaining and informative display by visiting professionals and local talent. Russell Pryor from Classic Hits did a great job as MC and he was ably assisted by Donna Southam from NSW, Australia. Donna has recently returned to the playing ranks on the ALPG tour and her experience as a coaching professional was shared with those present. Rebecca Hudson from Doncaster, Yorkshire, England who has an admirable list of achievements on the European Ladies Tour impressed with her skill and mastery of flop shots and general all round play. The third professional and reigning Long Drive Champion was Phillis Meti whose driving distance had the spectators in awe. These very congenial professionals were joined by our local talent of Liz Douglas, an icon in NZ Women's amateur golfing and Jessica Guenzerodt a current Canterbury Women's representative.
Pictured from left are Rebecca Hudson, Jessica Guenzerodt, Liz Douglas, Donna Southam and Phillis Meti.
