Due to the COVID lockdown the 2021 Canterbury Golf Annual Awards Dinner to be held at Christchurch Golf Club this Friday 20 August has had to be put on hold.
Options will be looked at to reschedule the dinner within the next month at the same venue, or present the annual awards in conjunction with the Canterbury Golf AGM to be held at Russley Golf Club Wednesday 8 September.
Of course this all depends on how the current COVID situation pans out in the next few weeks and at what alert level we are in.
We will keep you updated.
