Waimairi Beach Bash
Welcome to the inaugural "Waimairi Beach Bash" Long Drive Competition and Family Gala.
Long Drive Golf has emerged as one of the world's most popular golf formats and we're bringing it to Christchurch!
It's time to flex your summer muscles and give it a BASH!!
We have thousands of dollars of prizes up for grabs. Lucky Spot and Straightest Drive prizes will be on our playing grid so you don't need to be hitting the long ball to walk away with something fantastic on the day.
If you're not a golfer entry is FREE. There will be a BBQ, a bouncy castle and games for the kids and the opportunity to watch some massively long hitters smash golf balls into the stratosphere!
UPDATE: We're thrilled to announce that DimensionX will be at the course on the afternoon of The Beach Bash. Dimension X is a multi-dimensional sensory experience that your kids will love. Bring them down on the day!
Want to give it a Bash? Entries are limited and open NOW!
$20.00 for 6 balls. Grades for Men & Women, Open, Masters (45+) and Junior (U14). You can enter online by clicking this link: www.eventbrite.com...

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
