Dear CSVG Members,

We are pleased to confirm that the annual CGF Cup will take place this year at Aphrodite Hills on Sunday 13^th December 2026.

This popular event brings together clubs from across the island for a Team Stableford tournament, with the best 6 scores from 8 players counting towards the team total.

The maximum handicap index is 24.0 for Men and 28.0 for Ladies.

The team representing Columbia Secret Valley Golf will consist of:

• 5 Men
• 3 Ladies

Qualification and Selection Process

Team selection will be based on results from the following CSVG competitions held throughout the season:

• CSVG Order of Merit (8 tournaments)
• CSVG Medal Order of Merit (10 tournaments)
• CSVG Stableford Order of Merit (10 tournaments)

A dedicated Men and Ladies CGF Cup Team Order of Merit (OOM) has been created on the Members Website: https://www.secretvalleygolfresort.net/order-of-merit/

Points are awarded based on finishing position in each event, using the same points system applied to the Medal, Stableford, and Secret Valley Order of Merit competitions.

In total, 28 qualifying tournaments will be played between 7th February (Stableford OOM 1) and the final event on 21st November (Medal OOM 10)

Each player’s best 18 results from these events will count towards their final CGF Cup Team ranking.

Team Invitations

At the conclusion of the qualifying period:

• The top 5 Men and top 3 Ladies will be invited to represent CSVG in the CGF Cup
• 1 reserve from each category will also be named

If an invited player is unable to take part, the next eligible player on the Order of Merit list will be offered the place.

We consider this selection process provides clarity, fairness, and transparency for all members allowing everyone to follow the CGF Cup standings throughout the season.

Kind regards,

Golf Operations Team

Dear Members,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to let you know that I will be leaving my role at Secret Valley Golf Resort at the end of April, after almost five wonderful years.

It has truly been a privilege to be part of this club and community. I am incredibly grateful for the support, kindness, and friendships I have experienced during my time here. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to my colleagues, whose teamwork and professionalism have made my time here both enjoyable and rewarding.

With Columbia Group now at the helm, the club is in a strong and exciting position moving forward, and I have no doubt it will continue to grow and succeed in the years ahead.

To all the members, thank you for your continued support and for making my role so fulfilling. It has been a pleasure working with you all.

If any members have outstanding lessons or would like to arrange sessions before my departure, please do not hesitate to contact me so we can make suitable arrangements.

I wish you all continued success and enjoyment at the club, and I hope our paths may cross again in the future.

Best regards,
