We will be the only Club entering eight teams

On Sunday 3^rd February we will be holding a social get together for those who are already on the list for Pennants and for those of you who would like to be considered or to find out more detail before you can commit. We will start the afternoon at 1:30pm with 18 holes of golf, off of a three tee start, followed by a team talk and Q&A session in the Clubhouse. Please do just roll up, it is going to be a fun afternoon followed by a few beers. We already enjoy the reputation of being the Club that they all want to beat and this year we will be entering teams in every division, which makes us the only Club in the Bay that can do this. This, of course, means that the ‘target’ on our backs has just got bigger!   Each team manager will be putting together a squad of eight players and we will be out there determined to go for a clean sweep of all eight Pennants. Bring it on!

Out of Bounds/Lost Ball

The stroke and distance rule still applies. However, you can use the new local rule if you wish.

Penalty Areas  

From the 4^th of February there will be 2 changes to the course. The 3^rd hole will have a penalty area on the right hand side (bush and trees)

The second change will be the front 4^th tee. The out of bounds will now become a red penalty area.

Please check the local rules board.
