Month: August 2025

Please refer to the below rules and definitions, with the course taking a beating with the on going rain and course conditions the below have been in place for some time and will always be enforced after weather event. Altho there is no signage out on course roped off areas. The roped off areas will always be a GUR status. Meaning please dont drive carts thru this area. The green staff are doing an amazing job to preserve the course and minimise damage.

G.U.R (GROUND UNDER REPAIR)

All roped off areas and areas with a white spray painted line around it on the course is classed as GUR (ground under repair)

You are not premitted to drive thru it. Players can either play the ball as it lies or take free relief, which involves dropping the ball within one club-length of the nearest point of complete relief, not nearer the hole.

If a ball is in GUR and also in casual water, the player can choose to take relief from either condition or both. If unsure, check with your maker who is scoring your card.

PREFERRED LIE

Purpose: Preferred lies are designed to allow for fair play when course conditions make it difficult to play the ball as it lies.

How it works: When a player’s ball lies in the “general area” (fairway, rough, etc.) and the club has implemented the local rule, the player can take advantage of preferred lies.

Procedure: Mark the ball’s position with a tee or similar object.

Lift the ball and clean it. Place the ball within the specified distance 1 card length of the original spot, not nearer the hole.

Key points: The ball must be placed within the defined relief area 1 score card length.

The relief area must be in the general area, not in a hazard or on the putting green.

Once placed, the ball is in play and cannot be moved again, even if the player is unhappy with the new position.

Consequences of improper use: If a player lifts their ball without marking it, or moves it improperly, they may incur a penalty stroke

We have been advised that due to the rain today and forecast rain tonight the course will not be in a condition to allow buggies or to play a championship game!
We hope to play our championship in two weeks time on the 28th August . The names that are on the sheet now will be transferred over to that date and you can change those arrangements if necessary!

Thanks to Barry and his team in the Pro shop and Brendon, Will and the team on the course for their efforts to look after us!!

Please spread the word to your playing partners !

Cheers to all , see you out on the course sometime
