Club Competitions

Hole in One Rules.
If you are lucky enough to get a Hole-in-one, which is validated by your playing partner and is part of your 18 hole round of golf (or 9 holes if you are in the 9 hole handicap category.) the club puts $100 towards a shout to your fellow patrons and also mounts your ball on a trophy  The amount for the shout allocated by the club is $100 and is only redeemable at the Morrinsville Golf Club, not withstanding the Hole in One may have been achieved on another golf course. In no case will a cash payment be made to a member. A shout will be considered one drink per person or part payment towards a drink. The shout will, if possible, take place on the day the Hole in One is achieved, but the balance may be transferred to the player’s club day  ( i.e. Saturday, Women’s Day or Veterans) OR In lieu of a Bar Shout, the Member may allocate $100 for Course or Clubhouse use.
