Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 16^th August 2020

 

PIERCE PURCELL SHIELD

The Gold Coast played Williamstown in the 3rd round of this year’s Pierce Purcell Shield last Saturday 15^th August.  We played 3 games away and 2 games at home, both venues teeing off at 3pm. After four and a half hours of golf the result was still unknown. At Williamstown, our first pair were heading down the 19th, when the 2 games behind had finished one a piece.  At the same time in the Gold Coast both matches also headed down the 19th.  So, at this stage it was one game apiece with 3 games hanging in the balance. The first Gold Coast team eventually won their match on the 21st hole. Then at Williamstown the Gold Coast lost on the 20th hole, making the match 2 games each. Unfortunately our second home pair lost on the 19th, and the match, after putting in a great effort and playing some fantastic golf. Great credit must go to the panel of players who had four Tuesday night sessions in the Gold Coast, two sessions in Williamstown and a challenge match against Cahir Park golf club in preparation for Saturdays match.  Best of luck to Williamstown who now progress to the 4th round.

Representing the Gold Coast on Saturday were the following pairings:  At Williamstown; Paul Lenihan and John Ahern, John Walsh and Tom Reynolds, Declan Kiely and Michael Whelan, reserve pair were Nicky Dee and Brian Dunbar.   At the Gold Coast; Fergal Buttimer and David Hallahan, Richard Walsh and Michael Wall, reserve pair Andy Travers and Marc Power.

GOLDCOAST GOLF CLUB NOTES 2nd AUGUST 2020

 

Great to see so many people on the course playing golf.  Conditions were mixed in the week but still a good many people got in a round.  Thanks to Captains John and Anne for remembering the front-line workers on Sunday.  It was a nice touch by the Captains for the year that is in it and we hope your bucket in the kiosk was bursting come Sunday evening.  If you get out to play golf in the coming week enjoy the experience.  The course is in truly magnificent condition.  With the damp and warm conditions the grass is growing great and the whole course looks fresh and green.

RULE FOR THE WEEK:  Seeking Advice 

While it is one of the most sociable of sports, golf is a solitary game and this is reflected within the Rules.  You cannot ask advice on club selection, for example, from anyone other than your caddie.    Neither should you offer advice to opponents in competition. However, you may ask for information on the Rules, distances or positions of hazards or the flagstick.

GOLD COAST GOLF CLUB NOTES 26^th JULY 2020

At a special committee meeting convened on Tuesday evening addressed by our Captain John White it was decided not to have a Captain’s Prize or President’s Prize this year considering the Covid 19 situation.  The statement released by the Captain’s is as follows:-  “Following much deliberation Lady Captain Anne, President Brian, and Men’s Captain John have taken the difficult decision to postpone our respective weekends until 2021.  We made the decision against the backdrop of the Covid 19 pandemic and the new normal we find ourselves in.  The health and well-being of our members and guests are at the heart of our decision.  It will not be possible to have a social gathering on our weekends which we believe is an integral part of the events.  We hope people understand the decision and the reasons for doing so.  We hope to see you all in 2021 in what we hope will be better days ahead.”   Anne, Brian, John.

 

RESPECT FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS

Captain John is sponsoring a special competition on Sunday 2nd August in dedication to the wonderful work done by all our front-line workers during the Covid 19 Pandemic.  The competition will be played off the white tees, stableford and will count towards Golfer Of The Year.   Members are asked to wear their Club Colours on the day if possible.   (See also Ladies Notes).

 

The Player of the Year and Order of Merit awards will take place this year and the list below includes the list of competitions for these events:-

 

Date    Competition               Tees    GOY   Format

The Gold Coast Cup Matchplay and Scratch Matchplay competitions will also take place this year.

 

RULE OF THE WEEK:-            NO WAY BACK FROM OUT OF BOUNGS (OB) 

Knowing what to do when your ball sails out of bounds is crucial to a beginner. A ball hit beyond the confines of the course (usually marked by white stakes) must be re-played from the original position adding a penalty of one stroke.

The scorecard of any course should have its boundaries clearly marked or described. If you believe a shot has gone OB or into a water hazard always play a provisional and declare it.

You have three minutes to search for it and if indeed it is lost you saved valuable time continuing with the provisional ball despite a one stroke penalty. If your original is subsequently found in bounds or dry within three minutes of the point of search you must continue with the original ball.

 

NEW MEMBERS WELCOME

We are delighted to welcome so many new members to the club just now. Committee and Club Members will be making themselves available to accompany new members on the course, helping with getting handicaps organised, going through the basic rules and the requirements on the course.

Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 19^th July 2020

July 20^th was a day many were looking forward to.  It was the day phase 4 of easings were to be introduced but the new case rate of Covid 19 is deemed too high and so we now look forward to August 12th when things might change.  For golfers everything will stay as it is until August 12^th.  If you get to play golf this week enjoy yourself.  The forecast is good and so hopefully the golf will be too.

RULE FOR THE WEEK  – UNPLAYABLE LIES             

If your ball has come to rest in a position that you believe to be unplayable, you have three options.

Either hit another ball from the point of your previous shot, drop a ball behind the unplayable lie (as far back as you wish keeping the original lie between you and the hole) or drop the ball within two club lengths either side of the unplayable lie.             Each option incurs a one stroke penalty. (Rule 28)
