Medley Trial – Saturday August 23rd

Golf is changing worldwide and so are a lot of the ways we play the game we love. Almost every club in NSW and QLD are playing medley events in their daily program.

A medley golf competition is a format where men and women can compete together, often using different tees and handicap adjustments to account for the difference in playing difficulty. We will be playing a Single Stableford with 2 divisions (+2 to 18 & 19 to 46) The nearest to the pins will be set to divisions.

The aim of this trial is to encourage new members to our club, both male and female and allow Women who can’t make the mid-week comps a chance to play and be handicapped and to also fill those empty groups in the field.

The plan is to trial this Medley once a month to see how it goes and then make the call to see if it becomes a more common event in our program.

Congratulations to Sam Benny who made a hole in one on the 7th Hole today in the Mens August Monthly Medal.

Witnesses say it was a lazy 7 iron swing and 2 bounces into the cup.

Sam you take home a bottle of spirits either scotch, vodka or gin and 6 golf balls.

It couldn’t of happened to a nicer Fella. Well done Mate.

Mens Captain. Patrick
