The Shootout is back

There is some good news…the Shootout is back, and it’s bigger than ever!

What is the Shootout?  I’m glad you asked.  It is a day of skill, luck, patience, and strategy.  At the beginning of the day we start with 19 players, you heard correct, 19 all teeing off the first…that’s where patience comes in.  At the end of each hole, the one player who have the highest scores is eliminated…much to the mirth of those who are watching. If there are more than two players with the same high score, there will be a chip off to determine who leaves the competition.  The Shootout is played over 18 holes and played on handicap. The last hole is a 2-person playoff which calls for nerves of steel. The winner is the last person standing.

For every player we have trying to qualify, it will be an $25 in the prize pool, so the more players, the bigger the prize pool. As an example, last year Matt Burns won …and pocketed a lovely $250.00.  If we had 50 members try and qualify, that would add an $1,250 Oh, and did I mention that even if you go out on the first hole, you are guaranteed to win something…apart from the ignominy of losing first up.

So how do you get the chance to play for serious money?

  • First of all, you need to enter prior to your first round by Advising Peter Rainey with the $25 Cash entry fee.
  • The below dates are qualifying rounds and you can play in as many as you are able to a maximum of 8 rounds.
  • Your best 4 rounds will be your qualifying points. i.e. if you play 4 rounds and have 70, 72, 75, 68 your Total will be 285.
  • The final will be held on Sunday, 9 November 2025.

Qualifying Rounds – 8 February, 8 March, 12 April, 24 May, 12 July,  2/3 August, 4 October, 1 November

If this is something that would interest you, please register by advising Peter Rainey together with $25.00 cash Entry fee.  He will then enter your name will be on the list.

If you have any questions please reach out to Peter Rainey.

Good luck for those who are brave enough to give it a go.

Over the past year or so the members of the Men’s Match Committee have received a number of complaints about the diminishing size of the contents of our meat pack prizes and the embarrassment it causes the club when compared to the packs other club’s hand out in the various competitions we are able to enter through Vet’s etc.

There are a couple of simple reasons for this:

  • Our competition entry fee of $5 as been the same for a number of years but the price of meat has increased considerably over this period and we must thank New World, Rangiora, for what they have been able to achieve with the packs as the price of meat grew.
  • If you go to any other club within our area or throughout the South Island you will find that most charge $10 competition entry fee and in some cases $20, which explains the more substantial packs.
  • Also to be taken into consideration is that in our fee we allow for 2’s, 2 x 2’s, net eagles and closest to the pin.

This can be rectified by an increase in our fee to bring us into line with other clubs and the Men’s Match Committee have voted to increase our Competition Entry Fee for normal Saturday competitions to $10.  This will not affect the 2’s, 2 x 2’s, net eagles and closest to the pin which will remain at the same prize level. It won’t necessarily increase the number of prizes given out but will enable us to provide larger meat packs and with this we intend to increase the prizes to:

  • 1 x $20 meat pack plus 2 x $10 vouchers to the winners of Divisions 1 and 2.
  • 1 x $20 meat pack plus 1 x $10 voucher to the runners up in Division 1 and 2.
  • $20 meat packs to each of the other placed members in both Divisions, depending on each day’s entries.
  • Prize winners will still be able to take vouchers in lieu of meat packs and vouchers will also be given if you are not there to collect a meat pack at the end of the day’s play,

The vouchers can be used at the Bar, in the Golf Shop, at the Starting Office, or put into your account in the Golf Shop to be used for the later purchase of balls or other equipment or to go towards your annual subscription.

Whilst we appreciate some members may not be in full agreeance with this, unfortunately, we need to do it to get the prizes to a better level. Should you not wish to enter the competition you can still play in the field without entering the competition.

We would therefore advise that effective Saturday 8th, February 2024 the Saturday Competition Fee will increase to $10.
