The course was a picture yesterday, albeit pretty wet on 13th and 15th holes. I think even the ducks are getting a bit over the water situation….
Now that we are back to Pre-Covid conditions, can I urge you to check your scores with your markers, and SIGN YOUR CARDS – BOTH PLAYER AND MARKER. Once your score has been entered into the computer and placed in the slot next to the computer in clubhouse, or handed to Pro Shop staff, the scorecard cannot be altered.
Please see R and A Rule 3.3b (1)/2 for more information. The website is www.randa.org
It is also very important to keep your score accurately and that of the person you are marking. If you are new to golf, you can purchase counting beads - see picture.
We are fortunate to have preferred lies at the moment, however, it's important to follow the Rules of Golf when marking, lifting and cleaning your ball.The following is an extract from the R and A Rules of Golf Rule 14 - Lifting and Returning a Ball to Play
Before lifting your ball under a Rule requiring it to be replaced on its original spot, you must mark the spot, which means to:
- Place a ball-marker right behind or right next to your ball, or
- Hold a club on the ground right behind or right next to your ball.
When you lift your ball to take relief under a Rule, you are not required to mark the spot.
WHERE HAVE WE BEEN THIS WEEK AND WHO WENT...
On Tuesday, 3 of our girls played at Highlands GC in an Invitation Day. Ellen Goodwin, Jane Clifford and Wilma Lung were the lucky 3 to score an invitation.
Wilma did very well, her team coming 3rd, and winning a ball. Well done!
On Wednesday, 4 BGC girls (Ellen Goodwin, Pam Barker, Leonie Poulton and myself) travelled to Goulburn for their Open Day. A great day of golf and camaraderie was had by all. No big prize winners on the day unfortunately!!

PENNANTS
Well the pennant season is almost upon us. Our first matches are on Friday 5th March. There has been such a great response - thank you all.
Ginny organised a fantastic Clinic yesterday afternoon with Kevin Kenny. Thanks to Kevin we can now get out of bunkers, chip onto the green and know exactly where our ball is going to land, and putt straight into the hole!!!!! Brilliant!! Look out Canberra!!
Here are the girls .... Ginny called them "A Bevy of Beauties", but maybe they could be called Gin and Jane's Gorgeous Golfing Gals"!! We are going to look good in our new pennant shirts anyway!
CSGA Plate - Ginny Wozniak, Julie Hayden, NEtti Buchanan, Leonie Poulton, Annie Geddes.
