26 players took to the course today in preparation for the upcoming championships., with some impressive results. We hope they haven’t used all their good shots before Thursday!
Uschi Eriksson (38) was our winner with 44 points (no, that’s not a typo!)
Shirley Brereton was runner-up with 41 points. Balls went to Leonie Carroll, Anne Geddes, Jane Clifford, Pauline Cutchey, and Chris Hill.
Leah Boyd was NTP 2nd shot on 12th, and Pauline won the Pro-pin on 14th of $24.
Club Championships:
The first round (seeded) draw is on the computer with changes only to be made via the captain please. Any players wishing to play just the daily competition are welcome to do so; you don’t have to play every round to be eligible for daily prizes.
All championship rounds will be played off the plates (the red markers will be in those positions).
Special Rules for the GUR:
The newly seeded grass areas on the 5th,13th, 16th and 17th will be treated as GUR with no access by foot or cart allowed. DO not attempt to retrieve your ball (if suitably marked and identifiable, it will be returned to you later by the Green staff).
Three DROP ZONES will be in place, one on each side of the GUR and one at the front. You should choose the closest drop zone (nearest point of relief) to where your ball lies in the GUR.
You may use the one in front of the GUR if it is the closest one to where your ball lies, despite it meaning you will be dropping ‘closer to the hole’.
Rosevale Plate:
Rosemary Downing and Shirley Brereton played the final of the Rosevale Plate (Div 3) Match play event on Friday. Rosemary was the victor 2/1 in a match that saw neither player more than a hole up at any time! Well done Ladies! And thank you to Carole and Jane for refereeing.
Saturday Golf:
I had the pleasure of playing a round with the “Saturday Ladies” last weekend. It was my first chance to find out the Saturday secrets…but my lips are sealed!!
Ellen Neale was the winner with 37 points from Pam Barker, 36 points..
Etiquette:
Just a reminder that if you withdraw from a competition at a late stage, e.g. the previous day/evening or on the day of competition, it is expected that you will contact your playing partners directly to advise them. If unable to contact them at least please call the pro shop.
Good luck for Thursday!
Barbara Clayton (Captain)
