Congratulations to Don Thompson who recorded an ace today on the 13th hole.
This was Don’s first hole-in-one and he used an 8 iron to cover the 125 metres to the hole.
His playing partners were overheard saying, “I think it went in!”, and so it proved to be.
As a memento of his perfect shot Don will have his ball mounted onto a trophy, receive 6 balls from the club and have his name entered onto the hole-in-one Honour Board.
Don will also receive from GolfNSW and St Hallett’s Wines a lovely bottle of St Hallett’s finest red wine, and a special hole-in-one cap.
Congratulations Don.
Ducks Seek New ‘Web’ Address
A Family of Ducks were spotted today moving to their new nome near the 16th green.
We have their ‘web address’, perhaps we can get yours.
It is very frustrating when we need to contact you and we find we have an old email address or indeed no email address.
Can you all please check and see if the club has your latest email address? [We have strict data handling procedures and do not share member details to third parties – see our privacy policy]
Course Returned to Play
How dry was the course today? Many of us were pleasantly surpised by its condition with only a few wet patches in areas that the ball doesn’t often finish and new water features on the 12th and 14th holes!
The greens were fast but ran smoothly.
From Monday we will play 30 cm preferred lies in the general areas of the course (fairways and rough). This will allow you to lift, clean and prefer your ball.
If your ball finishes in a wet area then you may first move your ball out of the wet area before taking your preferred lie.
Gold Medal Playoff
Next Saturday the Gold Medal Playoff will be conducted. For those who don’t know the 12 monthly medal winners in each grade from the last 12 months playoff for the GOLD MEDAL. The Golden Putter playoff will also be held.
See the list below to confirm if you are involved. The rest of us play for the November monthly medal which is the first for the new season.
