other NEWS FROM THE WEBSITE:

Working bee

The first Members' working bee for 2019 took place on Monday 29th April. The group removed pest plant species behind the first green, left of the second tee - one of the offset areas that have allowed the Club to implement changes to the course under the course development plan.

If you'd like to join the group or seek additional information, please contact Graeme Swinton. The group meets on the last Monday of the month between April and October

Captain Frank's Rules Reminders

As of 2019, hitting the flagstick when putting a ball from the green is without penalty. The intention of the Rule change is to speed up play. But it raises the question - which way of handling the flagstick is best: leaving it in, or removing it prior to putting? This video may help you decide for yourself - and it could even help you hole more putts.
