After losing a whole week due to the rain, it will be wonderful to get back to golf.
While we cannot stage our normal open events under Covid-19 conditions, we are able to welcome our member's guests. Happily we will see some players from other clubs on our course on Thursday so please make them welcome.
Foursomes, Foursomes, Foursomes!
Now is the time to arrange partners for three special forthcoming Foursomes events:
CSGA Foursomes Championships (Sunday 23 August) will be played this year at Gold Creek with tee times from 10:30am. Details are in the locker room. Book on-line and contact the Gold Creek pro shop to book a cart if required.
BGC Mixed Foursomes Championships (Sunday 30 August) with Wotton Trophy in conjunction. Due to the Covid-19 disruptions to our golfing program this event will only be a single round for 2020. So just make sure you bring your A game on the day.
Foursomes Championships (R1 Tuesday 1 & R2 Thursday 3 September)
Who will be our Champions this year? We also present awards to the Champions in Divisions 2 & 3. While the Championship shields and trophies are awarded to scratch winners only, an 18-hole handicap event across the field will be run in conjunction on each day of play. This means if you can only play on one day of the competition, we still have an event for you!
Golf NSW Goodwill Plate & NSW Vets Mabel MacKenzie Brooch
We managed to stage these two events on Thursday 23 July just before the most recent major rain event.
The standout winner of the Golf NSW Goodwill plate was Helen McCathie (40) with a gross score of 109 and net score of 69. The $2 we collected from you to enter this event is sent to Golf NSW (whether you played on the day or not) for them to donate to a charity of their choice. We will be sending $106.
The Veteran Women Golfers' Association of NSW - Mabel MacKenzie Brooch held on the same day produced the following winners.
Division 1 Carol Warner (20) Gr92 N72
Division 2 Ellen Neale (23) Gr94 N71
Division 3 Helen McCathie (40) Gr109 N69
SuperVet Julie Jeffery (18) Gr92 N74
Congratulations to all our winners - presentations will be made later in the year once conditions return to normal.
New date for our 5th Medal Round - Thursday 13 August
As you know the course was closed last Thursday so we have rescheduled the events from that day. Three Stroke events will now be staged on Thursday 13 August. This will be the Club Medal R5/President's Cup R3, the CSGA Brooch and the Hastings & Meg Clarke Trophy Qualifying Round that was already scheduled.
Jubilee Foursomes
As you are aware the qualifying round for this event was staged on 12 March. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions in place we were unable to schedule the knockout rounds. Your Match Committee has now determined that the remainder of the event can now proceed with modified playing conditions. You will play with your own ball only ie your partner will mark their ball and you will place your ball within 30cm and play your shot.
Knockout dates are now:
Round 1 by Sunday 27 September
Round 2 by Sunday 20 October
Final by Sunday 22 November
