Unfortunately, on Monday, 12 September and possibly Tuesday, 13 September (TBA) there will only be a 17 hole competition to allow the green staff to finish the removal of all debris from the area around the 6th & 7th holes.

As most members would be aware, membership renewal notices have been mailed out. However, if you have not received your notice over the past week, please contact the office on 3206 7011. You may also be unaware of the 'Pay as you Golf' facility on offer as detailed below:

GA Handicap System Changes - 19 to 21 Sept

Details of the Four Priority Changes below:

The following Four Priority Changes to the GA Handicap System will come into effect on Wednesday 21 September:
1. Alter ‘Best 10 of 20’ to ‘Best 8 of 20’.
2. Change the Multiplier from 0.96 to 0.93.
3. Introduce an Anchor which will prevent a player’s handicap from increasing any more than 4 strokes beyond their best exact handicap from the previous 12-month rolling period.
4. GOLF Link will cap the score that goes into a player’s handicap record at no more than the following amount over the course rating: • 50-women • 40-men

FAQs -
  • From 21 September 2011, my handicap calculation will be based on the best 8 of my most recent 20 scores. Do I still divide the total by 10 before multiplying by the new figure of 0.93? No, you will need to divide the total by 8.
  • • When the Anchor comes into effect on 21 September 2011, can my Anchor handicap come from before 21 September 2011? Yes, on 21 September 2011, a player’s Anchor handicap will be the best exact handicap they have achieved in the period between 21 September 2010 and 21 September 2011.
  • • What if I’m coming back from an injury or my handicap clearly won’t be sufficient for some other reason? As has always been the case, the club should manually adjust your handicap – when your club enters your new handicap into GOLF Link, it will over-ride the old Anchor. Clubs are encouraged to make use of thisregulation when needed.

Bistro Closure this Week

The bistro will be closed for renovations from Sunday, 11 Sept to Tuesday, 13 Sept inclusive. Sorry for any inconvenience!
