Jackpot Hole  Kirsten Butler  Guzzlers Mug  Brian Dienelt  NAGA Bill Elliott, Sweepstake Colin Chilcott, Ball Rundown to 71 Nett.

This weekend we are holding the Club 4BBB Championships, this is an honour board event and it is normally well represented and very close in the scoring. Daily prizes are available for both days and the overall winners for the Mens and Ladies will be the best Nett scores over 2 days. The overall prizes will be given at the presentation afternoon but will be presented on the day if the winners are still in attendance. Members need to pay more attention to what is being said in ENEWS as we have stated quite clearly in previous posts that this EVENT IS A PAIRS EVENT WITH NO SWINGERS YET WE STILL GET MEMBERS BOOKING IN WITHOUT A PARTNER, please dont get nasty if you have put your name down as a single player and i have matched you up with another single player, who knows you may win the event. Please ensure you have your name on the BOOKING SHEET FOR BOTH DAYS. Best of luck to all players.

Congratulations to Brian Dallistson for a very good HOLE IN 1 on the 2nd hole at Vets on Tuesday afternoon, both Brian and his playing partner were looking for the ball and could not see it until they looked in the hole.

A reminder the PGA is holding a special event on the 23rd of June for Uncles birthday so please scroll down for details and an RSPV is required for catering, phone number listed below in the PGA section.

Match Committee Points:

1 The RGDC posters have been sent to other Clubs and nomination forms for our Open, thanks to Nerida Atkins for once again doing the poster work, we have some posters displayed at the clubhouse and nomination forms are at the bar. Once again MEMBERS AND VISITORS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE MICLUB SYSTEM, you need to fill an entry form out and present it to the bar, you can pay for it on the Saturday of the RDGC Open, We will do our best to put you in the time slot that you pick.

2  Safety of other players,  we had an incident of a member being hit on the head and having to receive 9 stiches in her head, this could have been fatal if the ball had hit another area on the head, please have a good look in front of you and make sure you are confident in what shot you are going to play, if unsure wait until the players in front have cleared the area and are safe, please remember to yell out a warning to the players ahead if you think they are in danger. I also witnessed a conversation amongst a few players about hitting up, this is also a dangerous thing to do and should not be done in the better interests of safety, we do not need members being hurt or even worse disabled on the course.

3. As has been mentioned in the ENews over the last few weeks unfinancial members have been reminded to pay the yearly fees, the cut off day was last week and all unfinancial members have now been excluded from playing and their golflink number has been suspended.

Thanks to all the volunteers that have been out on the course keeping it playable, your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Mike Walker for his work as Sponsors Member as we have been receiving a fair bit of interest from several businesses re sponsorship to the club, more details to follow, Tee Box signs are going to be removed and we should have them back looking better for the Open.

WORKING BEE FOR SUNDAY THE 16th June to tidy up around the course and clubhouse in preparation for the RGGC OPEN  will start at 0730am and will have more details next week of what is required.

Regards

Greg Worden

Acting Captain
