NZ GOLF UPDATE.
Our partners at Jennian Homes are running an on-going ‘twos’ promotion, in
which they will be giving away hundreds of Srixon golf balls each week.
How it works.
For New Zealand Golf members who score a two during their round, when
scorecards are handed in the DotGolf system will recognise their score of two
and that member will automatically be entered into the Jennian Two's draw.
Simple as that.
Each week, winners will be drawn at random by DotGolf and Jennian Homes will
package and send the golf balls to Golf Clubs throughout New Zealand.
If a member from your golf club is a winner, their prize will be sent directly to your
golf club, attention to the Manager. Inside the courier bag will be the details of the
winner. Including name and membership number.
We ask that you contact the member and arrange for them to collect their
prize.
There will be 20 winners each week, 1 dozen golf balls per winner.
We thank you for your support in this on-going promotion. I’m sure there will be
plenty of happy golfers at your club when they receive a dozen balls, just for
scoring a two.
For more information please visit jenniangolf.com
Cheers,
Nick Rowland | New Zealand Golf

TEE BLOCKS & ROPE BARRIERS.
The tee blocks should not be moved, or stood on from the position they are in
when you stand on a tee. If there are tee blocks out of position please relocate
them.
Should you have to move a rope barrier please ensure you put it back up again
in the same position. Do not step on them to get over them.
Thank you for your co-operation.
