REGULAR SCRAMBLES

This year we will be having a Scramble on alternate Mondays and Wednesdays (unless there is a special event). The first Scramble will be Wednesday 13th February followed by Monday 18th February. Book as usual on Dotgolf and enter on the day with a $2 entry fee payable.

We encourage you to enter these fun competitions regardless of your handicap. It is often the higher handicapped players who win! This is good chance too to remember when playing in any competition:

- Count every shot, including air-shots (Always, not just on competition days!).

- Player and marker should announce how many shots they have had when on the green BEFORE putting and ensure both agree.

- No ‘gimmies’ on the green.

NEW RULES REMINDER The new rules came into effect on January 1st. This week’s reminder:

Playing your Ball in Bunker

REMOVING LOOSE IMPEDIMENTS AND MOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS; Before playing your ball in a bunker, you may remove loose impediments and movable obstructions.

DATES TO DIARY
Monday 4th March - Top Cat Round 1 (Entry list going up on board Opening Day, along with a Partners Wanted list.

Monday 11 March – Greensome Foursomes (amended date)

Thursday 14th March – Cocktail Party 4.30 – 6.00pm (Details to follow, keep an eye on the Wrap!)

Just a reminder that this early part of the year is a popular time for other Auckland golf clubs to hold their Nine Hole Open Days. This is a great opportunity to play at other courses at a minimal charge…. and maybe win a prize at the same time if you’re lucky! You’ll be reminded of these closer to the time and an entry sheet will go up on the notice board for each Open Day. However, just to give you a little notice in advance you might like to give some consideration to the following:

Clarks Beach - 25 February (ENTRY SHEET NOW UP ON NOTICE BOARD)

Followed by: Maramarua (15 March), Pakuranga (21 March), Whitford Park (11 April).

Enjoy this wonderful golfing weather we are having girls!
