What amazing weather we have had this past week - shorts and polo shirts were seen on the course - not bad for the end of April! Next week is not looking so good - a bit of rain coming in. However, that won't deter most of you - you will be marching down the first with great enthusiasm!!
The course is looking magnificent showing off all its Autumn colours.
We had a few hiccups on Tuesday with our coloured ball competition. The results are still not finalised as KK has had to seek help in entering the scores into MiClub. However, Thursday was fine - all scores were entered correctly and MiClub worked out the results. Phew!!
Well done to you all for adapting so quickly to the new system.
IF YOU ARE PLAYING A MATCH - PLEASE USE ONE OF THE OLD CARDS AS THEY HAVE THE MATCH INDEX ON THE BACK. THE NEW CARDS DO NOT.

RULES
As we are playing a number of Match Play events, here is a summary from R & A regarding the rules in Match play. Please click the following link to access Rules of Golf. www.randa.org
Match Play. Rule 3.2
Purpose: Match play has specific Rules (particularly about concessions and giving information about the number of strokes taken) because you and your opponent:
- Compete solely against each other on every hole,
- Can see each others play, and
- Can protect your own interests.
a Result of Hole and MatchIn match play the result of the hole or match is decided as follows:
- You win a hole when you complete the hole in fewer strokes than your opponent, your opponent concedes the hole, or your opponent gets the general penalty (loss of hole).
- You tie a hole (also known as "halved") when you and your opponent complete the hole in the same number of strokes.
- You win a match when you lead your opponent by more holes than remain to be played, your opponent concedes the match, or your opponent is disqualified.
- If your match is tied after the final hole and you need to establish a winner, the match is extended one hole at a time until there is a winner.
b ConcessionsYou may concede your opponent's next stroke, a hole or the match, but a concession is only made when it is clearly communicated.
A concession is final - you cannot withdraw it once made and your opponent cannot decline the concession.
See Full Rules For more information on concessions, including how they are made.
c Applying Handicaps in Handicap MatchYou and your opponent should tell each other your handicaps before the match. If you declare a wrong handicap and don't correct the mistake before your opponent makes a stroke:
- If the declared handicap is too high and this affects the number of strokes you get or give, you are disqualified.
- If the declared handicap too low, there is no penalty and you must play off the lower handicap.
See Full Rules For more information on applying handicaps in a match.
d Your Responsibilities in Match PlayYou have a responsibility to:
- Tell your opponent the right the number of strokes you have taken when asked,
- Make your opponent aware as soon as reasonably possible after you get a penalty, and
- Know the match score.
- If you know or believe that your opponent has breached a Rule that has a penalty, you may act on the breach or choose to ignore it.
- But if you and your opponent deliberately agree to ignore a breach or penalty you both know applies, you are both disqualified.
- If you and your opponent disagree whether one of you has breached a Rule, you may protect your rights by asking for a ruling.
Time to get out into the sunshine girls. I hope to see some of you at The Anniversary Dinner tonight at BGC.
Stay healthy and happy!!
