L.B. Wood Trowel and Centennial Rose Bowl.
L.B. Wood was one of the members of the provisional committee of the Christchurch Golf Club set up in 1891, and was invited as the oldest member of the club in 1927 to lay the foundation stone for the new clubhouse. The Trowel was presented by Miss Durose in memory of L.B. Wood in 1957. The top qualifier on the Saturday (by stableford points) wins the Centennial Rose Bowl. The Centennial Rose Bowl was 
presented to the Wood family in 1973 to commemorate the Centennial of the Christchurch Golf Club. After Saturday nights dinner and entertainment the top 33 from the Saturday field start again on Sunday to win the L.B. Wood Trowel and other “bounty” (by stableford points)
The International.
The International originated in 1996 as a friendly unofficial series of matches between visiting overseas players and a number of our New Zealand resident members in the Christmas holiday period. As the numbers involved grew to around 30 people, the Club decided to make the event an official Club fixture.
The first official fixture was held on 17 December 2000 as a four-ball match, with a field of 48 men in 12 matches. This match was won by the New Zealand – born players by a margin of 8 holes, but successive matches have always been keenly fought, with the results since then being evenly shared.
Ladies’ matches are also held and whilst these results have tended to favour the overseas-born players, the matches are also keenly contested.
The trophy for the men is an ‘Auld Mug’ (a replica of the Open trophy), and was kindly donated by Mr Bruce Martin, an American visitor and one of the ‘originals’.
All participants enjoy this event, and there have been some great battles over the years. Approximately 20 overseas countries have been represented in the overseas–born teams and the camaraderie during the event has always been great.
In mid-winter a further event is held on a ‘state of origin’ basis. Teams from all areas of New Zealand compete against teams from individual countries.
This competition has cemented its place as one of our important and essential events, and has been a wonderful way for all of our different cultures to spend some time in each other’s company, playing our great game of golf.
Randolph Cup.
The Randolph Cup was presented in 1928 by the sons of the late W.D. Wood Esq. He arrived on the Randolph, one of the first four ships to arrive in Canterbury.
It is a stroke handicap round open to any members of Canterbury Golf Clubs affiliated with New Zealand Golf and is played on the nearest Saturday to Canterbury Anniversary day to commemorate the arrival of the first four ships.
The first four ships were the Randolph, Cressy, Sir George Seymour and the Charlotte Jane which was first to leave England in September 1850 for Canterbury.
The Randolph carried around 217 passengers and was the second ship to arrive on the afternoon of the 16th December 1850 behind the Charlotte Jane.
