Hi all,
SATURDAY 23rd April
Tomorrow is the first round of the Birthday Cup and is to be played as Foursomes with scoring in the stableford format. The brief rules for this are:
Foursomes is played with a partner but playing only one ball and taking alternate shots. Each person tees off on alternate holes irrespective of who holes out on the previous hole. Both course handicaps are added together and then divided by two to find the pair's playing handicap. Half shots are rounded up. If you choose to play in this please ask Harrison for a blank card, calculate your own handicap ( Harrison will help you if needed ) and return the completed card to the pro shop at the end of your round. The Club haggle tomorrow will be for this event and will be for best stableford and two's.
Round 2 of the Birthday Cup is next Saturday and is both Combined Stableford and 4BBB - the computer will calculate the scores! As previously advised, next week there is no need to play with your partner if it is not possible. ie. one person could play in the morning whilst their partner plays in the afternoon field. Their scores will be matched up and count towards the trophy.
This is the one day of the year we will be playing this format - please consider giving it a try. You never know - you might actually enjoy it!
REMINDERS
Entries are now open for the Club Championship Strokeplay event. Tee times will be limited on both Saturday and Sunday 21st/22nd May for those not competing in our flagship event.
Monday 25th April is ANZAC Day and this year we will be holding our time honoured trophy of men v women. All scores will count and the average score will determine the winner. In respect for our fallen soldiers there will be no morning golf and we will be having a shotgun start at 1pm.
