2024 CANTERBURY GOLF AWARDS DINNER
The 2024 Canterbury Golf Awards Dinner was held at the Christchurch Golf Club on the 16th of August which as always is a special event on the calendar where we celebrate our people from all areas of the game here in Canterbury.
With 116 people in attendance, it was a big occasion with players, club volunteers, administrators, and greenkeepers alike all being celebrated. The audience was entertained by several special segments including guest speaker, Golf NZ National Coach Jay Carter, and the awarding of several service awards including a new Life Membership.

Another special feature segment of our recent Awards Dinner was when we recognised our past Canterbury Representative players. While celebrating our people’s current achievements is important, Canterbury Golf also recognise the importance of respecting our past players too. As such a decision was made to identify all of our past Canterbury Men’s and Women’s players who have represented our region at NZ Interprovincial level throughout our history. Accordingly, over the last month or so Canterbury Golf have going through our past records to put together our list of past players and recognise them all with their own unique “Canterbury Representative Number” in the order that they were first selected for an Interprovincial team.
For the men this dates back to the first team selected in 1951 for the NZ Interprovincial tournament played at Christchurch Golf Club. In the ladies, this dates back further still all the way to 1949 for their first tournament played in Invercargill. Moving forward, every new player to gain selection for a Canterbury NZ Interprovincial team will too be awarded an official Representative number, and will receive a yet-to-be determined specialised item with their number on this.
