Medal Qualifier
Notice:- As of Monday we are moving back to the
clubhouse and we will be trying to do a draw for all those who are present from
next Wednesday. We will have all the comps ready for online signup so that
seniors can register their interests. If you turn up on the day, we will put
your name on the list and do a draw and pass the list to the Pro Shop so that
they can take the entry fee from your account. This way we will not have a
situation whereby we have done a draw and a member of the drawn team doesn’t
turn up or someone turns up and can’t
participate because the draw was done a day or two earlier. It is similar to
the way we did the rollups before with the exception of collecting the entry fees
and handling the name cards. We have 5 tee times between 8:10 - 8::42 that can
be used by the early group and 11 tee times between 9:02 onwards. A member of
the early group needs to take control and do a draw for their group. I propose the
latest time of arrival for the early group is 7:50 and 8:40 for the late group.

Golf lesson of the day:-
1. Concentrate
on your game & remember to tee off from the correct tee.
2. When
you realise that you have teed off the wrong tee & incurred 2 penalty
points, do not try to gain the lost point on the same hole as inevitably there
is going to be additional penalties. We all know that golf is a funny game. The
harder you try the worst you play. You hit right and the ball goes left, you
hit left it goes right. Just accept golf doesn’t work that way and you end up
getting anything from 8-12 shots for the hole. This guy in question got away
with it and only had 9. I believe I have been talking about lessons learned,
but obviously NOT. A quiz question:- How many strokes do you think one will
have in a hole if one plays with 5 different balls on that hole and only lost
one ball? All the numbers you thought of were wrong. The answer is 8 and it was
John Wandless on the 6th.
Back to golf now. Not good scores across the board with
no one hitting a par round. The best score of the day was net 73. In fact the
scores were so bad the Standard Scratch for the course was 72 up by 3 from 69.
There were no handicap changes either way because of the scores. This being the
last game under the old handicap rules isn’t going to be remembered for long.
As of Monday we are moving to World Handicap System ( WHS ) and we are
expecting chaos due to the fact that the handicaps have not yet been
transferred to a unified handicap system yet and we are keeping our fingers
crossed that everything is going to be ok On Monday. Check the CST system for
your Handicap Index and find your playing handicap for the day from the lookup
table that will be displayed somewhere at CST.
