9 Hole Women's Golf update

Topic: Womens Golf

9 HOLE LADIES NEWSLETTER 3 JULY 2018

Our planned Ambrose event last Wednesday was unfortunately cancelled due to weather conditions. This time not rain, but FROST. A beautiful winters’ day just like today. Blue sky and no wind. Perfect for muddy, winter golf!

What wasn’t cancelled was our midwinter soup lunch which was enjoyed by nearly fifty 9 holers. Lots of laughter and talking. Often our earlier tee off groups and later groups don’t cross paths that often and the general consensus was that this was a great way to get to know a wider group. Our thanks to Grant and Oliver for their help with organizing the day and Nina for making everything run so smoothly.

Monday 9 July 2018 Scramble $2.00 entry fee. Enter on the day.

Our next major event is

9 Hole Ladies Greensome Foursomes - Wednesday 1st August

In Greensomes, both players tee off and then choose which ball to play from there. The player whose drive or tee shot is not chosen plays the second shot, and they then play alternate shots from there until the ball is holed out. On the next hole, both players again tee off and the process is repeated. The average handicap of the pair is used. Best Stableford. N.B. Cards cannot be entered for handicapping.

Players need to sign up in pairs (or singles and we can match with other singles). Each player pays $2 at pro shop on the day.

Closing date Wednesday 235th July. Sign up on the registration form in the locker room or alternatively email sabra@cosmouv.co.nz

Note In the club handbook this has been wrongly listed as being held on Thursday 2 August. Please ignore!

Weekly Tip/Etiquette

“Ready golf”

Arrive at the tee and be ready to play at least 10 minutes before your tee time. When playing 'Ready golf' the first player ready tees off instead of sticking to the protocol of lowest handicapper or whoever won the previous hole.

Each group must keep up with the group of golfers in front.

Pick up your ball when you cannot score any stableford points. ie Par for the hole* + your handicap allowance* + 2 strokes. (*both par & your handicap allowance are printed on your card) eg Par 4, + your handicap allowance is printed as 3 +2 = 9 Pick Up

The first 2 players to putt out on the green move quickly to the next tee & tee off before marking their cards
