Good Morning to you all. Hopefully we are all feeling slightly fitter after playing a couple of rounds of golf this week?? Doesn't it make a difference to see some blue sky, sunshine and dry weather - long may it continue!
A BIG welcome to two new members - LYNNE HALL from Sydney and
JO GOODACRE from Victoria. Both will be in the clubhouse over the next couple of weeks, so please give them a warm Bowral welcome.
Our wonderful "Getaway Girl" (Ellen Neale) has been dealt a nasty blow this week, with her husband, Dennis, being taken to emergency on Monday night. Dennis had 3 stents put in yesterday, and by all accounts, is doing well. We wish Dennis a very speedy and complete recovery.
Goulburn Golf Club held their Annual Stabrose Event on Wednesday 10th August. It was a fabulous day - those Goulburn Gals certainly know how to put on an event .... and I'm not just talking about the scrumptious morning tea they provide!
There were over 80 women in the field, and we did not have to wait on any hole - pretty remarkable.
Virginia Wozniak, Meeghan Bourne and I had a fun day in the sun, after a very foggy start. The course was relatively dry too. Look out for this day in 2023.

From Golf Australia re Match Index - FYI
GOLF AUSTRALIA
Golf Australia Recommendations (version 25 March 2019)
PART I – Course Management
a) Match Play Index
The Committee must publish a table indicating the order of holes at which handicap strokes are to be given or received (Committee Procedures Section 5I (4)). This order should be printed on the club’s scorecard.
The following is provided by Golf Australia as an option for clubs. This method provides for a fairly-even distribution throughout the round. It also disregards hole difficulties (acknowledging that a 30-handicapped player receives 5 strokes from a 25-handicapped player, which is also what a 5-handicapped player receives from a scratch-handicapped player, but that there can be clear differences in the holes a 5-handicapped player and scratch-handicapped player will find the most challenging). It is fair to players on all handicap levels, and it has proved satisfactory in use. It avoids allocating low-numbered strokes to the last two holes so players receiving few strokes will have the opportunity to use these before a match is decided. It also avoids allocating low-numbered strokes to the first three holes in case a match goes to extra holes.
(Note: When using the match play index in match play competitions, the index should be adapted when a match commences at any other hole on the course other than the 1st. Hole 1 in the recommendation should apply to the first hole to be played, Hole 2 to the second hole to be played, etc.)

- EBay - What a fantastic little gadget this is! It’s a silicone ball marker magnet that can be used on your beanie, hat or any clothing for that matter and there’s no clip required. There are two strong magnets at each end and you simply fold it on to an item and the magnets grab together, then your ball marker grabs on to the outside magnet. Got it!! Google silicone ball magnets and choose your supplier, I used EBay. They are about $7 each for a pack of two.
- Bunnings – This is a MUST HAVE item that is truly amazing. It’s a grout marker pen that is applied to discoloured grout anywhere. I bought mine at Aldi, typical ! but they sold out quickly, so I Googled them and Bunnings have a Dulux one which is probably even better. If you Google grout marker pens, Amazon have them in an assortment of colours. What a brilliant invention, no more scrubbing and bleaching.
- Mae Hill Farm - This is an amazing gourmet butcher in Mittagong that is like no other. A tricky location in Owen Street but that’s just because it’s not in the main drag of shops. Just look at their website to appreciate their products including their wonderful pre-cooked meals (now I’ve got your attention) and fabulous gourmet sausages. It’s an experience to say the least. www.maehillfarm.com.au or follow them on Instagram.

Wrong Ball 6.3c
(1) Making Stroke at Wrong Ball. A player must not make a stroke at a wrong ball. Exception – Ball Moving in Water: There is no penalty if a player makes a stroke at a wrong ball that is moving in water in a penalty area or in temporary water:

- The player must correct the mistake under the Rules by playing the right ball from its original spot or by taking relief under the Rules.
- If the player and opponent play each other’s ball during the play of a hole, the first to make a stroke at a wrong ball gets the general penalty (loss of hole).
- If it is not known which wrong ball was played first, there is no penalty and the hole must be played out with the balls exchanged.
- The stroke made with the wrong ball and any more strokes before the mistake is corrected (including strokes made and any penalty strokes solely from playing that ball) do not count.
- If the player does not correct the mistake before making a stroke to begin another hole or, for the final hole of the round, before returning his or her scorecard, the player is disqualified.
