Captains Corner

Captains Corner 10th August.







The Entry forms for our Anniversary Day Honour Board Single Stroke and Rae Livingston Shield Team Event for Saturday 17th September have been posted to other clubs and we hope to get a good response. This year it is a Shotgun start at 12 noon with morning tea commencing from 10.30am. The all inclusive price is $20.






The Rae Livingston Shield is a Team Event consisting of 4 players who must be from the same club (all four scores count). On the Entry form there is room for you to enter your name as an individual for the Stroke Event and all four names for the team Event. It is a Non seeded draw and those who nominate to play in a team are not allowed to play together.


The Best Nett score of the day is the Honour Board winner.






The Fellows will be having a shotgun start commencing at 7am (4 Ball Handicap vs Par), but they know they will have to be off the course no later than 11.45am. This is the first time we have tried this format and we hope with a little help from everyone that it will work and we will be able to maximise usage of the course.






It has been suggested to me that perhaps in Mixed events that the Members could hit off before the Fellows. If Members hit off and stand to the side it would speed up play, as in most cases the Fellows do have to wait longer before they can hit. So if this is the case could we please try this and see how much time we make up.






Another issue is players leaving their buggies at the front of the greens. There are a few exceptions but in general players should leave their buggies to the side and always exit the green from the side or back not the front.






The new work around the 2nd Green has a compulsory Drop Zone. If your ball goes into this area you MUST go to the drop zone.






The Holden Scramble on Friday 5th August was very successful. Unfortunately for McLeod Members the only visiting team that entered won the day. This is the second year that the Ladies from Ipswich have won the event.






On Sunday 21st August, Jan and Tom Fisher are again sponsoring . They have kindly donated a trip for two to Sydney with accommodation. Tickets are available from the staff at the bar and they are $5 each or 3 for $10 and will be drawn after golf on Sunday 21st August.






The Fellows Championships commence this weekend so I wish them all good golfing.
