GOLDCOAST GOLF CLUB NOTES 5TH JULY 2020

Hi everyone and welcome.  The buzz on Tuesday morning was great with golfers at the Gold Coast ready to enter competition for the first time in a couple of months.  Some of the old heads were there but it was so refreshing to see so many of our new members testing out their handicaps in competition.  Great numbers taking part at the weekend too and lovely seeing players out on the course no matter where you were on the course.  As members here we have brilliant people looking after the course and it was looking amazing at the weekend.  Well done to everyone involved behind the scenes so us golfers can enjoy a course in such wonderful condition.  Below is a fixture list for the year.  Good luck to everyone.

RULE OF THE WEEK          Green rulings

Once you have reached the green, there are a couple of key Rules of which you need to be aware. Once the ball comes to rest on the putting surface you may mark it with a coin, or disk, lift and clean it but remember to replace in the exact spot. You may repair any pitch-marks – not just yours – other damage such as spike marks attached to the green but not on your line of putt, a playing partner’s putt, or an extension of it, before the completion of the hole. You can have the flagstick either attended at all times but the ball must not strike it. (Rule 17) (Covid 19 has created a situation where the flagstick must remain in place and not be touched, the rest of this ruling remains as stated)

Committee and Club Members are making themselves available over the next few weeks to accompany new members on the course.  Helping with getting handicaps organised, going through the basic rules and the requirements on the course.
