On the Greens
with
Jean Davis
The rain was just what the doctor ordered but the timing wasn’t
so good and some of the morning players were chased home by the
elements before they finished their round and the sudden
downpour sent many on their way before they could get a start.
From those who did get their game in, Brock Wooldridge who
hasn’t played much golf this year but has recently returned from
a golfing trip to Thailand with Andrew Ikstrums, Trevor and Josh
McLeod and others appears to be finding his old form and was the
winner with 69 nett from Alan Rayner 70. If you had 76 or better
then you won a ball.
The trophies donated by Ben Saywell of Lazer Plumbing will now
be played for next Saturday in the mens fourball stableford and
the first round of the Ladies 4BBB Championships which will
finalize the following Saturday 22nd.
The best scores on Wednesday were a group of 37 points with Val
Baldwin winning on a countback from Kay Tischler. Cathy Harrison
and Helen Akacich. It was left to Jennifer Ey with 34 to win
first division.
Brian Mackinnon’s 41 points in the Sporters day competition was
just too good for Trevor McLeod with 40 so it would appear that
the eleven games in twelve days overseas wasn’t quite enough for
him.
We hope that the Gods of Golf smile down on Glenn McFarlane and
Bruce Tree next Monday and Tuesday in the finals of the 2011
Australia and New Zealand Golfer Pacific Challenge to be played
at Coolangatta /Tweed Heads. We all wish you well and we
excitedly await the good news back here.
The Restricted Foursomes Championships for men is sponsored by
Paul MacSween of Hughes Butchery on Sunday 23rd and the
timesheet is out for the 27 holes event and the minimum handicap
is 25 this year.
The Veterans AGM is on Tuesday 18th and the stableford will be a
shotgun start at 10.30 so please advise Captain Len if you will
be playing and attending.
Melbourne Cup Day on 1st. will be a choice of play. You may be
in the 8.30 shotgun start, attend the luncheon, view the Cup and
join in the sweeps or you can play at the usual time but captain
Len needs to know what you have planned for the day. It is open
to anyone to come along and enjoy any part of the day so we hope
to have a good crowd.
Congratulations to Scott Warren of Gin Gin Club for his Hervey
Bay Mens Open win on Sunday. He makes a mockery of the “more you
play, the better you get” theory but his big run home with three
birdies on the last three holes was a fantastic finish to win by
one.
May all the ladies at the Bargara Classic be enjoying themselves
this week, good scoring or not.

Slow Play No round of golf should take
longer than 4 hours 15 minutes to complete. If you feel this
pace is too fast, it is recommended you golf at a time when play
is not so heavy. To reduce this problem some golfers will have
to move faster than they have in the past, to ensure everyone
has an enjoyable round of golf. Slow play is not caused by long
rough, tricky greens or a bad slice. These are the challenges
that give golf its appeal. Rather, slow play is the result of
bad habits that waste time and impose a slower round on
everyone.
Some Time Saver Hints:
1. Always be ready to hit
-proceed directly to your own ball
-take a practice swing and get set while others are hitting
-hit when ready, even simultaneously if you will not interfere
with others
-carry a spare ball with you; if in doubt...hit a provisional
-know the rules of golf, especially those pertaining to out of
bounds, water hazards and lost balls
2. Don't Waste Time
- never record your scores on or near the green
- don't leave your cart or bag in front of the green.
- give instructions on the driving range, not on the course
- carry an extra ball, tees and ball marker in your pocket
- play your shot once a group is realistically out of range
- if a ball is lost, play your shot BEFORE
helping search
- lost ball, 5 minutes per group per hole, maximum time
3. On The Tee
- the first player ready to hit should
- other players should wait right next to the tee markers
- after hitting, be ready to proceed to your ball
4. On The Green
- park your cart and clubs in line with the next tee
- line up your putt before it is your turn
- follow the continuous putting rules until holed out, unless
restricted by another player's line
