----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those players who would like to pay their respects, John Drew's funeral is tomorrow (Wednesday 25th) at the South Oxfordshire Crematorium. There is some confusion about the time. The Gazette says 1.30pm yet John's widow says 1.00 pm. If you are going get there just before 1.00 pm to be sure. I did send a card of condolences, on behalf of all the golfers at Witney lakes.

The week ahead ...

Tuesday 24th May

Roll-up. The Eliminator TEAM game.

Rules. A team game for THREE players, marking ONE card for the game, showing the individual scores of each player, the total for each hole, and the final total combining all three player’s totals.

Played as a STABLEFORD game with handicap allowance on EACH hole.

Played off the YELLOW tees over 18 holes.

 

A player’s Stableford score will be ELIMINATED (scored as ‘E’) from the joint score card for the hole(s) where he plays his ball into any of the following hazards or out-of-bounds.

 

BUNKERS

WATER HAZARDS (other than standing water)

DITCHES

OUT-OF-BOUNDS

To speed-up play PICK UP if you have been eliminated from a hole.

The winning team is the team with the highest final total. Countback used to resolve ties.

 

 

Wednesday 25th May - John Drew's Funeral - see earlier post for details.

 

 

Thursday 26th May - Steve Putt Trophy - WHITE TEES - STROKE PLAY

 

The tee times for this competition will appear after Tuesday - so there is still time to sign up if you want to be included.

 

I still need players for the four fixtures to be played in June. Please sign up asap.

 

Enjoy your golf!

A reminder to you all about non-returns (NRs). When you enter a competition, if you have a rough round and cannot complete, then please put your card in with an NR. Don't just walk off the course saying you are not handing in the card.

An NR will have an effect on the standard scratch score for the day. Frequent submission of NRs, according to the CONGU rules, implies that your handicap will need to be adjusted.

Remember if you register for a competition we expect a score card from you at the end of the round.
