Dear Members,
Although it was a little disappointing with the COVID 19 announcement last weekend that regional Victoria would not fully open up we are hoping that this will happen soon. The good news is that we can continue to play and in groups of four and even have a drink after the game in our new room.
No doubt you will have noticed we have rescheduled numerous events that were missed while only playing social golf. Also, we have reopened the 10th tee on a Saturday commencing 3 October.
As we are still under strict COVID rules please maintain the separation and do not gather in groups of more than 10 people, I would hate to see us shut down because we weren’t doing the right thing.
It is also great to be back in the clubhouse and generating revenue for the club, the club does need your support.
At the Committee’s September meeting we discussed a proposal from a Member suggesting we played the Club Championships over two weekends. Although the Committee thought this was a great idea, unfortunately, due to social group bookings there was only one Sunday in October and November not booked out with social groups. So we decided on the format below.
Ladies Championships.
First round Wednesday 18 November
Second round Wednesday 25th November and the final round will be played along side the men on Sunday 29 November.
Men’s Championships.
First round will be Saturday 14th November.
Second round Saturday 21st November.
Third round Saturday 28th November.
Final round will be played on Sunday 29 November.
Please note the finer details have still to be worked out. The Committee understands that this format might not please all members, however, due to COVID we have to make allowances and hopefully, it will be a big success. The basic format will be similar to the present where the top players in each grade will be seeded.
Please note that the above includes Juniors and Veterans events.
So to all members, dust of your practice balls and start practicing for what should be a great competition that we can all enjoy.
Captain Al and the Committee.
