Women's Golf News

Well done to you all for adapting to the MiClub Website so easily. It has taken a few of us a little while to get used to it on our phones; but with a bit of patience and help from friends, all is under control!
The new scorecards have arrived so we will be using them next week. Please don't hesitate to ask for help from one of the committee girls ... or anyone for that matter!

THE BRONZE SHIELD TEAM PLAYED THEIR FINAL YESTERDAY AND PERFORMED EXTREMELY WELL.
It all came down to the last putt on the 18th for our No 5 player - Rosemary Downing! The other 4 players ( Jane Clifford, Sue Ayre, Pam Barker, Clare Stanham) had won 2 matches and lost 2 matches so it was down to Rosemary. Rosemary had popped her ball on the green for a fairly easy putt to put the match at all square and off they would go to the 19th Hole. HOWEVER, Rosemary's opponent chipped in from off the green to sink her putt and win the match! WHAT AN EXCITING FINISH!
We celebrated their terrific performance back at the club later in the afternoon...
A special thanks to the caddies - don't they look resplendent in their bibs? Terry Downing, Sue Flaxman, Chris Levy and Don Barker.

The CSGA Plate Team lost to Queanbeyan @ Belconnnen yesterday which was disappointing. All the team played well but we were beaten by better players. Julie Hayden managed to win her match - she is undefeated - well done Julie!!
The team was Virginia Wozniak, Julie Hayden, Barb Clayton, Jan Deane and Annie Geddes.

WHITTAKER'S WINNERS...

• Woolies -  There is a little bit of magic in these little winners!  They are the Chux eraser sponges and are hanging up in the kitchen section along with kitchen sponges. They literally make marks on paintwork disappear and 90% of the time you won’t have to do a paint touch up. Think about the marks tradies leave on your walls and the marks paintings and furniture leave behind. They will vanish, trust me. 
• Woolies – While you are there,  buy some of the Beak sausages as they are really excellent. I think they are the best supermarket sausages available.
• Cashmere Essentials -  Try the fabulous little block for removing pilling on knitwear.  It’s basically a course pumice stone that works wonders. I was reluctant at first as I thought for $20 I could just use an ordinary pumice stone but it didn’t work nearly as well.  It’s also  better than those little combs and certainly better than a razor which caused no end of damage to my jumpers!  

I hope you have a bit of fun trying some of these items and there will be plenty more to come.

RULES
Phones are a big part of our lives - what would we do without them?
However, there are rules on the golf course about the usage of phones. Please make sure your phone is on silent at all times and only use it in emergencies, as an on course measuring distance device or checking a ruling on the R & A Rules App.
If you are not sure about a ruling; please continue with your round and ask a committee member for clarification before you enter your score into the computer.

It really comes down to etiquette on the course. Be aware of other people, your playing partners and opponents. Please follow the Rules of Golf....
From R & A Rules of Golf
The Rules of Golf Etiquette; Behaviour on the Course Introduction.
This section provides guidelines on the manner in which the game of golf should be played. If they are followed, all players will gain maximum enjoyment from the game. The overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times.
The Spirit of the Game: Golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules.
All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf.
Safety: Players should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like when they make a stroke or practice swing. Players should not play until the players in front are out of range. Players should always alert green staff nearby or ahead when they are about to make a stroke that might endanger them. If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should immediately shout a warning. The traditional word of warning in such situations is “fore”.

The noise and destruction on the 12th and 14th Holes on Thursday caused by the Corellas saddens many of us. Matt and his staff must despair when they see what these birds are doing!
Spotted in a tree behind the 14th tee....

Parking your buggy on 18th Tee
The best place to park your buggy, so as not to interfere with the group behind you, is to the left of the 17th green on the slope.

What a wonderful week of golf we have had this week. The weather has been glorious ..... AND THERE IS RUN ON THE COURSE!! HURRAH!!

Enjoy your weekend, and see you all next week.

Annie Geddes
Women's Captain

Well it's almost the weekend - hurrah!!Even though the majority of us are retired, there is something about the weekend isn't there? Sitting round a fire pit with a glass of red sounds ok to me!!
I am sure KK is looking forward to a well-earned rest over the next 2 days, as he has had his head in the computer making sure that MiClub changeover goes smoothly. A big thank you to Kevin in making the transition as smooth as possible. (more about MiClub later).

THE BIG NEWS THIS AFTERNOON IS THAT OUR BRONZE SHIELD TEAM WON THEIR SEMI FINAL TODAY, BEATING RCGC (3/2) AT YOWANI GC, AND ARE THROUGH TO THE FINALS NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO JANE CLIFFORD AND HER TEAM!!!

The team consisted of Jane Clifford, Suzanne Ayre, Chris Levy, Pam Barker and Clare Stanham. They play Queanbeyan in the final at Fairburn GC next Friday. GOOD LUCK!!!!

The CSGA Plate team also won today - 3/2. They played Belconnen who are coming equal first. A FANTASTIC RESULT GIRLS - WELL DONE!!
The team comprised of Virginia Wozniak, Leonie Poulton, Julie hayden, Annie Geddes and Jan Deane.

PRESENTATION 15/4/21
Unfortunately, not a lot of women stayed for the presentation yesterday, which was a little disappointing. We realise that, as we haven't been having many presentations of late, we are out of the habit of staying around. Thank you to the girls who stayed - we enjoyed singing Happy Birthday to Jane Kilmister and Fran Dubiez, and congratulating the Medal Winners.
OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS ON 29TH APRIL AFTER MEDAL RD#3/PRESIDENT'S CUP RD#2. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD STAY.

As mentioned at the presentation, many girls have had terrific scores over the past few weeks. Here are the names of the girls who have scored 36 points and above....
Ellie Scott, Sue Flaxman, Penny Cuffe, Carole Turpie, Jan Deane, Ellen Goodwin, Leonie Poulton, Di Lindsay, Chris Levy, Beth Chambers, Jane Kilmister, Janet Dunn,
Sandy Short, Ellen Neale, Clare Stanham, Sue Harrison and Anne Keys. Very well done!!

THE NEW WEBSITE
As of next Wednesday 21st April, the new website, booking system and scorecards come into effect. You will have all received the email from KK explaining how to change your login details etc. Most of the women on Thursday had already changed their login details and were up and running. The new website can be accessed by clicking here https://bowral.1golf.com.au. You can make bookings on this site from 21/4/21.
The scorecards, you will notice, are a bit different to our present ones. They will also include the new indexes for some holes. Just for starters, may I suggest that you leave filling in the dots until you have finished your game and are checking your cards with player/marker. Here is an example...... ours might be a bit different.

WHAT'S COMING UP?
The CSGA Veteran's Day is on Monday 3rd May @ GOULBURN GC. We would like to encourage you to make a trip to Goulburn for this event, as they are having a pretty rough time at the moment, having been flooded in the last rain. Their course was seriously flooded, and the Pro Shop was also affected.

RULES:
14.3
Dropping Ball in Relief Area. This Rule applies whenever a player must drop a ball in taking relief under a Rule, including when the player must complete taking relief by placing a ball under Rule 14.3c(2).
If the player improves the relief area before or when dropping a ball, see Rule 8.1.
a Original Ball or Another Ball May Be Used.

The player may use the original ball or another ball.
This means that the player may use any ball each time he or she drops or places a ball under this Rule.
b Ball Must Be Dropped in Right Way

The player must drop a ball in the right way, which means all three of these things:
(1) Player Must Drop Ball. The ball must be dropped only by the player. Neither the player’s caddie nor anyone else may do so.
(2) Ball Must Be Dropped Straight Down from Knee Height Without Touching Player or Equipment. The player must let go of the ball from a location at knee height so that the ball:

• Falls straight down, without the player throwing, spinning or rolling it or using any other motion that might affect where the ball will come to rest, and
• Does not touch any part of the player’s body or equipment before it hits the ground.

“Knee height” means the height of the player’s knee when in a standing position

14.3b: DROPPING FROM KNEE HEIGHT
A ball must be dropped straight down from knee height. “Knee height” means the height of a player’s knee when in a standing position. But the player does not have to be in a standing position when the ball is dropped.
(3) Ball Must Be Dropped in Relief Area. The ball must be dropped in the relief area. The player may stand either inside or outside the relief area when dropping the ball.
If a ball is dropped in a wrong way in breach of one or more of these three requirements:

• The player must drop a ball again in the right way, and there is no limit to the number of times the player must do so.
• A ball dropped in the wrong way does not count as one of the two drops required before a ball must be placed under Rule 14.3c(2).

If the player does not drop again and instead makes a stroke at the ball from where it came to rest after being dropped in a wrong way:

• If the ball was played from the relief area, the player gets one penalty stroke (but has not played from a wrong place under Rule 14.7a).
• But if the ball was played from outside the relief area, or after it was placed when required to be dropped (no matter where it was played from), the player gets the general penalty.

4 What to Do if Ball Dropped in Right Way Comes to Rest Outside Relief Area.
If the ball comes to rest outside the relief area, the player must drop a ball in the right way a second time.If that ball also comes to rest outside the relief area, the player must then complete taking relief by placing a ball using the procedures for replacing a ball in Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e:

• The player must place a ball on the spot where the ball dropped the second time first touched the ground.
• If the placed ball does not stay at rest on that spot, the player must place a ball on that spot a second time.
• If the ball placed a second time also does not stay on that spot, the player must place a ball on the nearest spot where the ball will stay at rest, subject to the limits in Rule 14.2e.

I would like to welcome David Burgess as the new Captain of Bowral Golf Club. The AGM took place on Thursday night and David was presented with the Captain's jacket (along with a few other things!!) from outgoing Captain Dick Hiser.What a lovely traditiion you introduced Dick!!
I would like to thank Dick for his tireless work over the last 2 years. Dick has initiated so many new events which are very beneficial to the club. He has also collaborated with Kevin Kenny and Matt Morris in improving the course out of sight.
On behalf of all the women, Dick, I would like to thank you for the amazing job you have done.  

Please look in the locker room for any sign up sheets that you might be interested in. At the moment, there is the Bowral/Goulburn Shield on June 8th and Bowral Open Championships on May 20th.
The Terms of Competition are posted on the Noticeboard and on the website in Women's Golf.

Time to sign off and enjoy that glass of red by the fire!!!
Keep warm everyone and see you next week on the golf course.

Annie Geddes
Women's Captain

Good Morning!! Apologies for being a day late with the Blog, but it was a tiny bit late when I got home from Canberra last night to start writing!
Hope you all had a lovely Easter with family and friends, and the Easter Bunny visited you!. The weather was glorious wasn't it? How blessed are we to live in such a beautiful part of Australia and belong to this community.
It's been a bit quiet on the golf course this week; but still some great scores were posted by a certain few - more later!
There has been a bit of chat about SLOW PLAY. This issue is raised a number of times during the year and is a cause of concern for many of us. The following points are a guide to help speed up the pace of play on the course....

1. BE EARLY TO THE TEE: Make it a point to be at the first tee at least 5-10 minutes before your scheduled tee time.
2. PLAY READY GOLF: Except in Match Play, “honours” are a thing of the past. If the fairway/green is clear ahead, then someone in your group should already be hitting. After hitting, walk briskly to your ball. On the way, think about the next shot. Estimate the distance or club selection. Be ready to hit immediately. Limit your practice swings/pre-shot routine to a reasonable level. If you are ready to play (and others are still walking to their ball), and it is safe to do so, then hit.
   
3. WATCH EVERY SHOT, UNTIL IT STOPS: Lost balls are a main contributor to slow play. So, when you hit your ball, watch the ball UNTIL IT STOPS MOVING. This guarantees that you will never have to say “I thought I saw it go here somewhere.” Then, do the same for EVERY BALL IN YOUR GROUP. You will be amazed how much quicker it is for your group to find a ball when there are six eyes tracking it. If a wayward ball finds the rough/trees, etc, then immediately pick a landmark (small bush, tree, rock, etc) and note it aloud to your playing partners. And if there is any doubt, never, EVER say “Ahhh, we SHOULD be able to find it…”. Just hit a provisional.
   
4. PARK YOUR BUGGY/BAG APPROPRIATELY: When sharing a cart, don’t wait for your partner to hit before going to your ball. Hop out with a few clubs and walk to your own ball while they play. When on or near the green, you should always park your cart/buggy on the side of the green which is closest to the next tee. Never leave it at the front of the green, or on the wrong side. The goal should always be to get to the next tee as efficiently and quickly as possible.
5. BUNKER PLAY: If your partner needs to play from a bunker, it may be advantageous to let them play first, as the rest of you can then play while she rakes. If two players are in the bunker, then it may be quicker if one offers to rake up for both. If a partner skulls a shot over the green, then offer to rake the bunker for them while they move to their next shot.
6. KEEP UP: The old rule rings true: keep up with the group ahead, not just ahead of the group behind. If you fall behind, have a player in your group putt out, then hurry to the next tee while the others are putting. If you are falling well behind, then let the group behind hit up or play through. When marking the scorecard, do it at the next tee, not the green. If you are falling behind, tee off before you mark your card.
7. PICK UP: If you are out of a hole, and the comp allows it, then pick up and move on.
8. HAVE FUN: I’m not asking you to rush through your game willy nilly. Remember, golf is a game to be enjoyed; but if we all take some of these pointers on to the course, then we can all enjoy the game together.

For more information on Slow Play in Rules of Golf go to Rules 6 - 7.

• Aldi -  Well I thought you would all be a little over chocolate but please just try these little treats in a glass.  You can peel the labels off and pretend you made them and they are perfect with some vanilla bean ice cream. They are called Desert in a Glass (about 7cm tall) and the double chocolate is the only way to go!  In the refrigerated  section near the cream.

 

• Aldi – I know it’s being terribly lazy but golf can be so tiring and the Moroccan Medley cous cous is a must  to keep in the pantry.  It’s in the rice and pasta section.  It is instant in that there’s no cooking just boil up the kettle and there you have it.

 

• Aldi -  These amazing sports glasses are available from Saturday 17th April.   They are so cheap, about $10 and have interchangeable lenses for different conditions.  Keep them in your golf bag for those windy or flat light days.  I love them!

 
Happy shopping and next time I’ll try to tear myself away from Aldi and venture further.

Wasn't it lovely to see the sun this week? Playing golf in shorts and a tee shirt were, we thought, a thing of the past ..... but NO - 24 degrees yesterday - a little slice of Heaven!
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.

If you breach any of these requirements, you are disqualified.

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.

Scoring in Handicap Competition. You are responsible for making sure that your handicap is shown on your scorecard. If you return a scorecard without the right handicap:

• 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.

WHAT'S COMING UP?
Tuesday 6th April - Stableford

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.
