CLUB BANORA COURSE CHANGES STARTING JUNE 8TH 2024
Club Banora Course changes coming into effect Saturday 8th June 2024.
The changes to slope and scratch ratings have come directly from GOLFNSW / World Handicap System Based on average 5000+ rounds played at Twin Towns (men & women & vistors)
In order to adjust the 8th Hole to a par 5. We had to make the below changes. The course has been under rated and over rated in some aspects. Hopefully these changes will balance things out. I hope as a club it benefits all members of all skill levels.
HOLE CHANGES – BLUE / WHITE TEE
The Men’s 8th Hole was a Par 4. It will now play as a Par 5 for both white and blue tees.
The June trial on the Mens 11th Hole Par 3 is in place. The white and blue markers have been pushed up closer to red markers.
SCRATCH & SLOPE CHANGES
Mens Blue Tees: The scratch rating is being reduced down to 69 from 70. The slope rating will be increased to 133 from 127
White Tees: No change to scratch rating. Slope rating will be 123 reduced from 126
Red Tee: Scratch rating to 73 increased from 71. No change to slope. Ladies will receive 2 shots on their handicap when playing the red course.
HOLE INDEXS – BLUE / WHITE TEE
Hole index’s will be updated with these changes on the 8th June, this is Men’s golf only. At this stage it will only be a few holes. Please check your score card for all changes, handicap, shots per Hole etc.
FUTURE CHANGES – BLUE / WHITE TEE
There will be a few more trials coming up over the next few months. Moving of tee boxes etc, just to give us a little variety and something different. So please make sure you read the notice boards and watch out for any signage you see out on the course.
