Both WHC teams are vying for a place in the final and play their last rounds on Sunday April 7 at :-
Moss Vale (Bowral 1)
Vincentia (Bowral 2)
All support is appreciated. The size of the teams was reduced this year and we had the chance of fielding 2 teams. Both teams have a chance of victory.

And on the subject of rules.
What happens when a ball is in the pipe under the bridge on the 18th ? The answer is from the published "Decisions on the Rules of Golf"
Ball Lost in Underground Drainpipe
Q.A player's ball goes into an underground drainpipe, but he cannot reach or identify it. What is the ruling?
A.An underground drainpipe or culvert is an obstruction. If it is known or virtually certain that the ball is in the immovable obstruction, the player may invoke Rule 24-3b. Under Rule 24-3b the ball is deemed to lie at the spot where it last crossed the outermost limits of the obstruction.
If the entrance to the underground drainpipe or culvert is in a water hazard, Rule 24-3b(iii) applies and the player is not entitled to relief without penalty and must proceed under Rule 26-1.
(I've shortened the answer taking out what doesn't apply to the bridge on the 18th) .
We have many camellia plantings around the course and the intention is to extend and expand the theme of having camellias. Progressive planting will take place around some tees and at the back of some greens. Camellias do well in the highlands and do well at BGC. We ask for donations for purchasing plants, we have $500 in the kitty so far and further gifts would be most welcome. Things take time to grow but starting is the first step. The plants are around $10 to $25 depending on size. A donation for one plant is something that is appreciated and put together with other donations will make a real difference to the course. I'll publish a running total of how we are going together with purchases and progress. Donations are confidential.
Good golfing
