There were a number of visitors on the course yesterday and all of them had lovely things to say....'favourite course', 'Beautiful colours', 'welcoming staff'. How lucky are we to belong to Bowral Golf Club??
We welcomed our newest member, Jill Malone, yesterday. Jill has come from the Central Coast, been in Bowral for 3 weeks, and played her first game yesterday! I think she might be keen!!!! Welcome Jill.
YOUR SCORECARDS.
Over the past couple of weeks, a few girls have not signed their cards or have not left their cards with the Pro Shop or put them into the slot next to the computer in the clubhouse. Can I please URGE you to do the above, as we really don't want to disqualify you for this minor breach of The Rules of Golf.
From R & A Rules of Golf.
Scoring in Stroke PlayMarker's Responsibility. After each hole during the round, your marker should confirm the number of strokes you took on that hole and enter that gross score on your scorecard.
When the round has ended, your marker must certify the hole scores on your scorecard. If you had more than one marker, each marker must certify the scores for those holes where he or she was your marker.
Your Responsibility. When the round has ended, you:
- Should carefully check the hole scores entered by your marker and raise any issues with the Committee,
- Must make sure that your marker certifies the hole scores on the scorecard,
- Must not change a hole score entered by your marker except with the marker's agreement or the Committee's approval, and
- Must certify the hole scores on the scorecard and promptly return it to the Committee, after which you must not change your scorecard.
DIAGRAM 3.3b: SCORECARD RESPONSIBILITIES IN HANDICAP STROKE PLAY
Wrong Score for a Hole. If you return a scorecard with a wrong score for any hole:
- If your returned score for a hole is higher than your actual score, your higher returned score for the hole stands.
- If your returned score for a hole is lower than your actual score or no score is returned for a hole, you are disqualified.
- If the handicap on your scorecard is too high and this affects the number of strokes you get, or no handicap is shown, you are disqualified from the handicap competition.
- If the handicap on your scorecard is too low, there is no penalty and your net score stands using the lower handicap.

DAILY RESULTS
Only 2 events were played this week and the fields were quite small. This, I suppose, is due to Easter Holidays etc.

Thursday 1st April - Par. Ellen Goodwin was the winner with +2, closely followed by Wendy Burke with +1. NTP on 6th Hole was shared by Ellen and Wendy - and gosh it was so close to the hole!! Ellen also won the Pro Pin ($32.50).
WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR ELLEN - WELL DONE!!
I THINK WE MIGHT ALL CHANGE OUR NAMES TO ELLEN!!!!!
CHALLENGE BOWL
Don't forget that the 1st round of the Challenge Bowl and 1st round of the Jubilee Foursomes have to be played by the 2nd May. If your name is on the top of your pair, you should organise the match.
