Congratulations to David McGinnes and Nathan Bradbury winners of the Jock Rossel Trophy for 2010. Answer to last weeks question. In match play or stroke play, the player incurs a penalty of 1 stroke for a breach and must play the ball as it lies (Rule 19-2)
This week's question. Is the person who lifted the players ball the only person who may replace it ? Fellow Members, Well it's been a very wet week again and unfortunately we had to we had to suspend cart use for a few days. Our ground staff has worked wonders to keep the course open and realise how important that is for the members and visitors. While the carts were banned from the course we had to have our mowers out there maintaining the course. The wet weather has also disrupted play in the J W Draper Foursomes Knockout. Due to this I have extended the rounds completion dates however the final still must be played on Sunday 11th April and I rely on all teams to maintain the revised schedule for the qualifying rounds. Your participation is always appreciated Coiming Events Saturday the 13th of Feb 2010, The Jock Russell Trophy - aggregate teams of 2, par. Bill Chrystal Memorial trophy for the best individual left hander. Saturday 20nd Feb 2010, Presentation Trophies Dinner 7pm for 7:30 dinner. Answer to last weeks. Which team playing their qualifying foursomes match turned at the 18th all even. After two balls out of bounds and a third very close to suffering the same fate, while their oponents were well placed near the green, continued to play finishing the hole with 12 and losing 1 down. Does this win the masochism or diligence award ? Winners. Alex Nicholson (12), Harry Caust (14), Pascal Timores (13) with a combined handicap of 6 1/2 scored 55 1/2 in the 3 person team ambrose.

Fellow Members, Welcome from a very soggy golf course. At this stage the course is still open although the use of carts has been banned until further notice. If the rain keeps up as the forecasters predict it will be a day by day decision to keep the course open. I will be guided by our course superintendent on this and will only be as a last resort if the heavy rain persists. The 11th tee is temporarily out of play for a couple of weeks due to top dressing and the plates are now in their correct positions. Our work on the pond at the 13th has been posponed due to the weather, I will keep you informed when it will take place.Lake Kattekar is full and overflowing and the only overwatering the course is receiving is from the rain and I for one am not going to complain. Our groudstaff are highly trained experiencd people who with limited resources keep your course in first class condition. There will be times when due to circumstances beyond their control problems will occur, like the blight that is attacking some of our fairways, right now. My plea to all members don’t criticise, encourage, and just let them do their jobs. They all have my full confidence and support, we are lucky to have them. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! Who was the experienced “B” grade member when approaching the 18th green last week played an 8 iron into the green which soared into the sky landed on the concrete path in front of the putting green took a huge bounce finishing on the club house roof, then trickled onto the balcony shade cloth and finished in the camellias at the back of the putting green, much to the amusement and consternation of those sitting on the balcony. New roof leaks have appeared, is he the culprit? Shot Execution - Professional. Club Selection - Needs Counselling! Foursomes. The weather has played havoc with some of the Foursomes Knockout first round matches so I am happy to allow those matches that can’t be played by the 7th to be played next week. The final is to be played on Sunday April 11th. There will be no change to that date! COMING EVENTS Trophy Presentation Dinner Saturday 20th February 2010.

What penalty do I incur if I strike my ball and it hits my golf bag as a result? Answer to last weeks question. - If a ball strikes a tee marker, water hazard post, direction post or similar, it is simply a rub of the green and the ball must be played as it lies without penalty. (Rule 19-1) |
