McLeod Are You ready for Scotsman's Day

Yes it's hard to believe that another year has gone by. It's Scot's day again! This year we have got a wonderful field with over 230 players involved  in the Scotsman's Mixed 4 ball and a further 38 men playing in the morning single stableford competition.

Jim and Jill Hoy and the gang have done a wonderful job again, organising the event and we thank them for there efforts.

The day has been growing each year and we are looking forward to the best year ever this year.

Enjoy your golf and don't have too many wee drams throughout the day !!!!

Captains Corner 3 August 2011

Captains Corner Wednesday 3rd August 2011.




Congratulations to our Club Champions for 2011.



It took 37 holes for Lexie Boyle to defeat Collette Byrne to become our 2011 Club Champion. Lexie has been a member of McLeod since joining as a Junior, and plays number one in our Silver Pennant team. She has been the bridesmaid 5 or 6 times in the championships so finally this was her year. Congratulations Lexie.



The Division 2 Champion for 2011 is Sandra Andrews who defeated Carole Hall on the last hole and Mary Allen defeated Ruth Dalton to become the Division 3 Champion for 2011.



Thank you to the Fellows who allowed the Members to play through in the morning field, it was very much appreciated. It was also lovely to see the club house full for presentations.



The Conditions of play for the Mixed Foursomes will be posted this weekend. It is a 36 hole competition on Sunday 28th August 2011. Special mention in these conditions are that motorised buggies are allowed , but that Gateway, Country, Limited and 5 day Members are ineligible to compete.



The timesheet will be available this Saturday. Play will be in 6’s.



Just a reminder for those Members that do move onto the next Tee block while the other players are putting out. Please hit off before you mark your card. If you go to the Tee and do not hit off it defeats the purpose of going over there.

Also a reminder to all players at McLeod (whether you play one, two or three times per week), in all games except a Stroke event if you cannot score on a hole you must pick up. Again on Saturday the afternoon field was over 25 minutes late hitting off which was disappointing when we had the Match play girls coming through with no where to go.



Please note there has been a change of play for Friday 12th August. This was originally reserved for Country Week but they are now playing on Friday 19th instead. We have therefore needed to change our competition back to the 12th. It is a 4BBB Stableford. The timesheet will come out on the Computer this Friday.



Good luck to the teams in the Holden Scramble this Friday.

Captains Corner Wednesday 13 July

Wednesday’s Captains Corner




1. Time Slots There has been an issue with people pulling out of timeslots and moving somewhere else after a person has put their name down beside them. It is quite rude to pull out and leave that person on their own. If for some reason you have to do this please phone the person and let them know.

2. Slow Play On Saturday we found our first group of Members were more than one and half fairways behind the Fellows and 24 minutes behind them finishing. The second group were another fairway behind. These girls know who they are and need to remember that the afternoon field is really tired of hitting off late. The fellows went around in just over 4 hours ( due to having Marshalls out all morning). It just proved that it can be done. We played a 4 Ball alliance which really meant that not all girls should have finished every hole so we should have been quicker than normal not slower.

3. Time out Time in Please remember to put your time out and time in times on the back of your cards and please put an accurate time. Overall this helping everyone remember that we must keep up with the group in front of us and not worry about the ones behind.

4. Dropping When dropping the rule states that the ball must be dropped from shoulder height. It is amazing how low some ladies shoulders are !

5. Dropping from sand. When dropping from sand areas determine the nearest point of relief before dropping. Sometimes it may not be in the side you would like. Also sand filled divots do not count !

6. Championships The Championship draw has been done. Good Luck to everyone. The times have changed from the conditions of Championship Notice. We will now be hitting off at 1030 am on the first tee and 11.00 am off the 10th tee each day. Please check the computer for your tee time.

7. President V’s Captain This draw will be completed by 5pm on the 14th of July.

8. Average of Aggregate This competition is being played on the 27th of July (Divisional Draw) The paper sheet is on the counter in the office and the draw will be done next Thursday the 21st of July.

9. Holden Scramble Don’t forget to organize your team for the Holden Scramble.



Good Golfing …..Julie M.

laughter the best medicine

“The best way to cheer yourself up is to try and cheer somebody else up.” Mark Twain


Most people take life far too seriously. You and I are not going to get out of this life alive so why not enjoy the gift of life today as if it was your last. One day you will be right. In my book, The Road to Happiness is Full of Potholes, I stress that one of the key traits of truly happy people is their ability to have fun. Laughter is medicine for the soul. It helps you reduce the negative impact of the stressors in your life as well as see the problems you may be facing for what they really are, temporary teachers on the path of life.

Control Your Emotions

The ability to control your emotions and take full responsibility for your life and its opportunities and dramas is one of the key skills necessary for success, balance and happiness.  There may be times during life when it is appropriate to feel guilt, anger, resentment, fear, jealousy, disappointment, grief, insecure, blame and hundreds of other feelings due either to your belief system and values or the circumstances and people that life throws in your path.  Some people have the ability to experience these various emotions and then let them go quickly leaving no long-term negative residual effects.  Other’s, on the other hand seem to remain stuck in any one of these negative emotions, to their detriment, I might add. Emotional maturity is the ability to see life clearly.  To deal in - what is.  Not what can be or was or what you want it to be.

Emotional Baggage

"Don't keep it dump it and move on"
Was it something your parents did 20 years ago? Something a customer said last week? Or something a spouse or friend said yesterday? Old baggage is emotional stuff we carry around with us for days, months or even years. It is usually negative stuff like old hurts, resentments, anger or some kind of pain inflicted by another person or situation. It can also be just carrying around some old guilt, failure or fear that impacts our current relationships and life in general.

Why do people hold on to all of these old feelings? Everyone moves through life with their own very personal agendas, needs and life issues. Old baggage starts to feel very comfortable after a while, so comfortable as a matter of fact that many people die never able to let go of these hurts, slights and pain. There is one very good reason to let go of all of this stuff. One of the major causes of stress today is suppressed emotions that fester in the body taking their eventual toll on some aspect of our physiology. One of the biggest causes of stress today is all of this old emotional baggage. So why let it go? It may kill you if you don’t.
