The Southland Golf Club merged with the Invercargill Golf Club and it is that club who will host us in what is now becoming an annual challenge built around the contest of a trophy dating back to the 1960s.  We will also play golf at Riversdale and Heriot on our mini tour.  Here are the tour arrangements.

​

​

The cost for the van is $50 per person and will be paid in CASH.
