After a three year hiatus the tour championship is back due to the relaxing of COVID conditions allowing for the social and networking component of this important tournament to take place.
The Tour Championship is a culmination of the Canterbury Order of Merit where players have gathered points from throughout the season playing and placing in club open tournaments and Canterbury Championships. The top eight players in each category are invited to the Tour Championship to gain final points and play along sponsors and volunteer leaders in an Am-Am best-ball format.
Having all of Canterbury’s top players, Canterbury Golf sponsors and volunteer leaders in the club house afterwards at the prizegiving makes for a great occasion for our golfing network.
We look forward to enjoying Clearwater’s world golf course and great hospitality.
Kaituna Golf Club held a unique golf tournament on Friday 1 April using "night flyer" glowing golf balls.
With daylight saving ending, and darkness descending early, nine holes were played from 5pm followed by supper. By then it was dark enough to have a par-3 men’s and women’s “champagne” shoot-out using “Night Flyer” golf balls. The flag and edge of the greens were identified by special glow sticks, and the tee box lit up with a car’s lights.
