Keith Norris

This event is acknowledging the huge contribution Keith Norris has made to the New Zealand Marketing Profession with over 40 years of service.

READ MORE

Keith Norris is a legend of the New Zealand Marketing Industry. 

Keith came to NZ in 1974 and when he arrived in New Zealand, there was one licensed restaurant in the whole of Auckland. (one more than during lockdown!). Having arrived here at the tender age of 35 Keith took the life- insurance market by storm by selling policies to cover death duties to every farmer in Northland. He proved you can quickly succeed in a new country by really understanding your target market.

 From here he moved into marketing roles and then, as President of the Direct Marketing Association, had the brilliant idea to kick-start the Association into a professional organisation by offering training, education, awards and conferences.

From here he became CEO and steered the evolution into becoming the NZ Marketing Association in 2005. Keith was CEO for 17 years and is still involved today offering expert advice and guidance to many New Zealand Companies.

A sometime boxer (ok way back), and all-round sports enthusiast, Keith has been a broadcaster, salesman, insurance senior manager and business consultant. He is a remarkable human being who has touched many New Zealanders and their businesses in his own way- by showing drive, empathy and fairness for everyone he comes into contact with. He also has a sharp business brain - and still kicks my butt in golf!

Please support the inaugural Keith Norris Golf Charity Cup, honour Keith and help a great cause - Melanoma New Zealand.

Event Rules:

Handicaps

Individual handicaps must be declared.  If you do not have an official handicap then a best guess will suffice (max 24).

To calculate your team handicap, add all your team members course handicaps, then divide by twice the amount of players (EG: Teams of 3 divide by 6).

Game Format and Ambrose Rules

  • All players tee off on every hole.
  • The team then selects one shot to be their best shot, which is where they will ALL play their second shot from.
  • To continue from the point of the best shot spot, you may place your ball within one club length no nearer the hole.
  • Once on the green, the best positioned ball is marked and all players putt from that point, within one putter head length no nearer the hole, until the hole is finished.
  • You must use a minimum of 4 tee shots per player.

Scoring

  • There is only one score for the team per hole. Teams captains record the gross score for each hole (number of shots taken to put the ball in the hole plus any penalties).
  • Team net score when you’ve finished 18 holes’ is calculated by deducting the team handicap from the gross score. 

Dress Code

You will not be able to play unless you follow the dress code at the course.  This is: no jeans on the course, collared shirt, and golf shoes must be worn on the course.  If you do not have golf shoes please wear running shoes.  Smart jeans can be worn in the clubhouse.

Rate of Play

If you lose sight of a ball, have a quick scan of the area but move on quickly to avoid holding up others.

The Cause

We aim to raise more than $20,000 on the day to advance Melanoma New Zealand’s mission of providing information and support to melanoma patients and their families, and to champion the prevention and early detection of melanoma.

The statistics are dire…

  • New Zealand’s melanoma incidence rate is the highest in the world
  • More than 6500 melanomas are diagnosesd in New Zealand every year - that's around 18 every day
  • More than 300 New Zealanders die of melanoma every year – in fact, more people die of skin cancer than on our roads
  • Although rare, melanoma can occur in children and it is reasonalby common in young age groups (25-39)
  • Maori and Pacific Islanders may have a lower risk,  but they often get thicker, more serious melanomas
  • Any UV damage to the skin, such as a tan or sunburn, at any age, increases the risk of melanoma later in life

But… if melanoma is recognised and treated early enough, it is almost always curable.
