Nearest the Pin & Drive and Pitch Contests.
After discussions with the match committee some changes with regards to Nearest the Pin and Drive and Pitch contests are to be made.
All changes will commence on the 1st of March.
These contests will now be contested in grades.
A Grade – Plus to 15; B Grade 16 to 21; C Grade 22 to 45.
A Grade: D & P on 16th (10th hole during construction work on the 16th if necessary), with NTP on 13th.
B Grade: D & P on 8th, with NTP on 9th.
C Grade: D & P on 2nd, with NTP on 7th.
The Eagles Nest will remain on the 3rd hole for Saturday comps and any player can win it. Check the noticeboard to see the distance required to collect the jackpot.
Women’s D & P will stay on the 11th.
The Super Shot will move to the 3rd hole from 1st March for each comp day [including Saturday]. It will rotate to other par 3’s regularly.
Only those who pay the entry fee and sign the entry sheet are eligible to win the prize.
It is possible to win the Eagles Nest and the Super Shot on the same day if it is a Saturday, or perhaps only the Super Shot.
It is hoped that more golfers, in each division, will have a far better chance of being successful in these contests.
Thanks all,
Larry Kent
Club Captain, on behalf of the Match Committee
Construction work on the 16th hole set to start.
After the delay caused by the contractors machinery breaking down, the work on repairing the bank on the 16th is soon to commence. A new pathway and dredging of the lake is also part of the project.
At this stage works are to start Monday 24th or Tuesday 25th next week.
Works will be undertaken mid-week so interruptions to the course routing will only apply mid-week it is envisaged.
It has been decided, for safety reasons, that during the construction period, holes 16 and 17 will not be in play.
The course routing will be 1-15, then 18, then replay holes 1 and 4.
Scores for holes 1 and 4 the second time round are to placed against hole 16 and hole 17. The par and rating will remain the same as for 16 and 17.
