Weekly Qualifier No.1

More from our busy Captain:-..but has he seen that weather forecast ?

I have taken the following list from the club's booking system for this Friday. We need others to join in and fill in the slots to make them all into 4 balls  (For a 2-ball Scramble) or by players moving from one slot to another. Please let me know any rearrangements taking place Regards

2 Ball Scramble, Stableford - Combined H/C divided by 4

6 Drives per player minimum

Looks Like Vpar scores it as a Medal - but no matter, just one score is entered, so we will have to trust you on the 6 Drives rule...  Handicaps have already been adjusted as above.

Even though we are playing a Scramble, please ensure you maintain the safe distancing rules, 

2 metres apart, plus 1 extra for the Captain

Passing - I see in the local Parish News of the passing of ex-Senior Derek Wicketts of Thorncombe who many of the older members will remember from the past.

Please can you put on the blog that my 7 Iron a Callaway Razr X with call away head cover was left leaning against the information board on the 3rd Tee. 

I went back to the Tee yesterday after my round and it wasn’t there. I have phoned the club this morning and no one has handed it in. 

Thank you Andy Rowland  07957 754553

Up Coming Competitions

 My fellow seniors, I am proposing two knockout competitions to be played  on Mondays and Fridays starting on Friday 19^th June.

1.       Individual summer knockout to be played on Fridays

2.       Two man team (randomly drawn) knockout to be played on Mondays. 

Anyone who wishes to participate in either or both events, please text message Individual”, “Team” or “Both” to 07810880530

Entries will be closed on Tuesday 16^th June. Once the matches have been drawn, tee times can be adjusted and switched to accommodate one’s opponent. I suggest we book 4 balls for Mondays and Fridays. Winners will be awarded the respective trophies at the AGM.

Wednesday 10^th June Individual Stableford Qualifier

Our first qualifier of the year went really well. In total 33 participants with some very good scores got us under the way and hopefully we will have more participating in future events. As mentioned in previous communiques, we are going to have one qualifier per week alternating between Stableford and Medal. We already have a lot interest in next week’s event and we like to see more of you fellow seniors out there playing and enjoying the game. Please send me messages (text, WhatsApp or email) if you like to participate. It will be a drawn game and I need to have all the participants confirmation by 6 pm on Monday 15^th.

 

I watched our handicap secretary struggle with his clearly painful left knee, unable to turn and the expression of pain on his face told the story. Get that knee rested and hope it is sorted soon.

 

Well done Jeremy for an eye-catching score of 42 points followed by Clive and Martin.

Game statistic: 48.5% scored below par and 57.5% par or better..

For this Friday we are going to play 2B Scramble. If you want to participate please make your tee times a 4 ball. As I get the entry list from the club’s booking system, please call the pro shop and make the necessary changes. Please join in and let’s have fun together. So drop me a notification if intend to participate.

I have noticed that when you setup your VPAR, you left the handicap setting to VPAR handicap. You need to change this to profile handicap (your club handicap). VPAR tracks your handicap each time you play and keeps a separate handicap called VPAR handicap. It is a reflection of how you are playing. TO CHANGE the preferred handicap, click on Profile, setup icon (top right hand corner) you will see your handicap (correct it as per list above) and click on preferred handicap next to it and set the option to Profile instead of VPAR.

Take care, keep safe and enjoy your golf.
