The Cause

New Zealand’s melanoma incidence rate is the highest in the world and all of Melanoma New Zealand’s work is self-funded. This involves over 5,400 skin checks each year, and last year 716 of these were suspicious. In fact, at last year’s golf day, we potentially saved one person’s life by Melanoma NZ spotting a melanoma in the early stages and sending the marketer off to get treatment.

We aim to raise more than $30,000 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 diagnosed in New Zealand every year - that's around 18 every day
Around 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 reasonably 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.

Please complete the below form in order to register your team of 4 for The Keith Norris Charity Golf Cup. Once we have received your form submission, we will process your invoice for payment ($400 per team). Please note we must receive payment at least 7 days prior to the tournament start date (23 February 2023).

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 4 divide by 8).

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 3 tee shots per player.

Scoring

There is only one score for the team per hole. Team 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.
