CANTERBURY GOLF GENERAL MANAGER UPDATE

The CGI Executive has made a decision to appoint Blair Minton to the new role of General Manager – Pathways and Performance. Read more below.

82nd CANTERBURY GOLF AGM - 28 SEPTEMBER

The 82nd Annual General Meeting of Canterbury Golf Incorporated will be held at the Russley Golf Club on Thursday 28 September 2023 at 7.30pm. 

Further, at this year's AGM a discussion will be had around the proposed Golf NZ partnership proposal. Following a thorough due diligence process, the CGI Executive has voted to recommend to clubs that, subject to final agreement on detailed terms and conditions, Canterbury Golf Inc sign a Partnership Agreement with Golf NZ to take effect from 1 January 2024.
As previously indicated, the Executive would like an indication from our Clubs as to whether they support the resolution to accept the GNZ proposal. To that end, the Executive will be asking for a vote (via show of hands) from each nominated Club representative present at the AGM. While such a vote will not be binding on the Executive, the intention is to seek a mandate from Clubs prior to a final decision being made. As such we strongly encourage all clubs to send a representative to the AGM.
