CLOSING DAY is scheduled for Wednesday 12th of December. The format for the day will be Irish Teams Stableford and we have had quite a few ladies asking what this involves.

You will be given a guideline on the day but to give you some idea the game is played in teams of 3 or 4. Each player plays their own ball and records their Stableford score. The final team score is calculated by adding;

Holes 1,2,3 (F) 10,11,12 (B) The best team members Stableford for each of these holes.
Holes 4,5,6 (F) 13,14,15 (B) The best TWO team members Stableford for each of these holes.
Holes 7,8,9 (F) 16,17,18 (B) The best THREE team members Stableford for each of these holes.

For speed of play all players should pick up once they have reached a point where they cannot score any Stableford points.

Don’t worry if you find this scoring tricky. Players can keep their own cards but one player in each team (usually the lowest handicap) should check and record all 4 players scores on her card. Just hand the team scorecard in at the end of the round and we will calculate results for you. Please note that there will also be prizes for longest drive and nearest to the pin on both front and back 9s.

It’s a shotgun start at 9am so make sure you are at the club at 8.30am to be able to make your way to the tee on time. $2 entry fee payable at the pro-shop on the morning. A registration form is on the notice board so get your name down before the 1st of December.

Following golf we will have a lunch and prize giving. Cost is $25 per head (plus a cash bar for drinks). Please pay by bank transfer to Remuera GC Account 01-0258-0132414-000 and quote your membership number as well as the code 9HWLUNCH. If you are unable to make a bank transfer then you can pay cash (in an envelope with name and membership#) to Sarah or Sabra. We would appreciate payment by 7 December so that we can confirm numbers.

Members are welcome to attend the lunch even if they do not play golf beforehand. If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten free, vegan etc) please email sabra@cosmouv.co.nz

ST ANDREWS VILLAGE ECLECTIC continues until Monday 10th of December so you still have 3 games to improve your overall standings. There will be prizes for the top 10 Gross and top 10 Net and the winners will be announced at our closing day lunch.
