Boost for golf club<br />
• Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />
RAWHITI GOLF Club has<br />
continued its amazing recovery<br />
from almost being shut down by<br />
the city council, by now being<br />
invited to host an international<br />
tournament.<br />
The club received an email<br />
recently proposing it be a host<br />
course for the Christchurch<br />
Casino Golden Oldies Sports<br />
Celebration 2018, to be held in<br />
the city.<br />
Rawhiti Golf Club president<br />
Mene Mene said the invitation<br />
was a credit to the whole club.<br />
“It’s quite exciting for the<br />
club, things are looking up for<br />
the east. After all the things<br />
that we went through to save<br />
the course, it’s now coming into<br />
fruition. I’m just so proud of the<br />
club, it is leading by example,”<br />
he said.<br />
Only a few years ago, the club<br />
was on the brink of being shut<br />
down by the city council, after<br />
posting a loss of nearly $200,000<br />
in 2014.<br />
But, thanks to smart financing<br />
by the club, it was given a 25-<br />
year lease by the city council to<br />
continue operating.<br />
Christchurch manager for the<br />
event, Mike Godinet said<br />
a “blanket letter” was sent to<br />
BIG CHANCE: Rawhiti Golf Club president Mene Mene<br />
received an invitation for the club to be a host course for an<br />
international tournament in 2018. <br />
all golf courses in the city, but<br />
they would only select the best<br />
four.<br />
“We have not made any decisions<br />
yet as to who will host,<br />
we’re speaking to them all.<br />
Maybe half a dozen clubs have<br />
returned the letter registering<br />
their interest, for the tournament<br />
in April 2018,” he said.<br />
Mr Mene said the tournament<br />
looks like it will be a big positive<br />
for the club, if it is selected.<br />
“It’s being held in Christchurch,<br />
and I’ve heard there’s<br />
about 500 golfers coming to the<br />
city for (the tournament),” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Godinet said the event<br />
would draw thousands of visitors.<br />
“We’re looking at a minimum<br />
of 400 golfers, and probably<br />
12,000 people coming to watch,”<br />
he said.<br />
Other courses in the east that<br />
have been approached by Golden<br />
Oldies, are Avondale, Waitikiri,<br />
Christchurch, Waimairi Beach,<br />
and Bottle Lake.<br />
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON?: Father and son pair Oliver and<br />
Grant Stewart got involved with the recent Be Bald or Be<br />
Bold event. More than $10,000 was raised at the recent<br />
hair-raising event at The Palms Shopping Centre. The money<br />
raised will go towards funding University of Otago research<br />
into the genetics behind cancer. A group of mothers set up<br />
Research, Education and Awareness of Child Cancer and<br />
Hematology, or REACH, after their own children were diagnosed<br />
with cancer. The purpose of REACH is to raise funds<br />
for more research that will improve treatments and increase<br />
survival rates. REACH is calling for more research into targeted<br />
treatments, and is currently working with Professor<br />
Parry Guilford of Otago University.<br />
