Somedays golf just goes your way! Well done to Fiona Nicholls who scored a hole in one on the 6th hole on Saturday. To add to that she also collected a share of the net eagles monies when hole 6 was drawn out of the net eagles bucket. Fiona also collects a sleeve of Titleist ProV1 courtesy of Pioneer Pools (Chris Sweeney) for a real eagle.
The draw is out for the Men’s Jennian 4BBB competition; it is in the pro shop, club house and a tee time advisement would have been sent to you via Dot Golf. A reminder that matches need to be played on or before the date. There were 3 pairs who missed out in the Jennian 4BBB competition, it was tough qualifying with the 33rd pair missing out after posting a net 67. The first round is next weekend, the 14th of March.
The uneven conditions on the fairways (dry and some damper patches) is leading to some “mud balls” occurring during a round. Consequently, PLACING has now been put back. You are able to lift, clean and place on any closely mown fairway from this weekend.
This weekend Men play Monthly medal black, blue and white tees for the respective grades. Ladies have FMS Stableford. The field is solidly booked on Saturday; please remember to play a provisional ball if you stray and may struggle to find your shot. It beats walking back to play one again!
The Pioneer Race to Millbrook
We are now 5 weeks into the Pioneer Race to Millbrook competition, and Les Keys and Bernie Norton are currently in equal 1st place with a score of nett 53. There is plenty of time for you to catch the current leaders, as the competition does not end until later in the year. Unfortunately the results you see if you access the competition on Dot Golf are very confusing, and although many players scores are correct, we have found some players scores to be incorrect by a shot or two, so we recommend you use the Dot Golf results as a guide only, and the correct results are as shown on the TV display playing in the clubrooms. We will also be putting a printed version of the top 30 or so players results on the notice board in the clubrooms in the near future for you to reference.
If you wish to know your current position, please email Bruce Maetzig -bruce.maetzig@outlook.com and he will send you your results.
