The first round of the Mens Harewood 4BBB was played last weekend. There were several close matches and a number of players taking on their opposition on their own. Marcus Wyatt was successful in beating his opposition on the 20^th hole on his own. Well done Marcus the secret weapon worked! To all the other winners who advance to the second round on the 13^th of April. The match committee met this week and made the decision to re-instate placing on the course. The course has become a little damper and I certainly noticed that I am getting a few “mud balls” during my round on Saturday. As the course has become damper, I need to remind players of carrying and using a sand bucket to repair your divots and repair all your pitch marks. This should be printed on the new scorecards as well as the local rules board for consistency now for your information. The new scorecard scanner is working well, however members are reminded to check that you have signed your scorecard prior to scanning. Technically it is a reason for disqualification from competition of the day if you haven’t signed your scorecard. A reminder is also required for those playing matches that a card is required to be handed in for handicapping. For those who have entered the shootout, I am advising you that the date for Shootout Sunday has been moved. Due to a potential loss of a large number of players, (and consequently the prize pool) the date for the Shootout Sunday is now the 10^th of November 2019. This is one week later than advertised in the programme (3/11/2019). For those who have entered and are unable to make the new date, please see me or Craig in the Pro Shop.

Some of our members recently visited Bottle Lake and commented about the greens having some sort of disease.

With daylight saving coming to an end we will hold our last comp this Tuesday Apr 2^nd with a slightly earlier start time of 5pm given the light issues of the past 2 weeks.
