Hi All
Just a quick note re next Saturday. Members Xmas break up day.
4 Ball Medley Ambrose, arrive at 10 o'clock for 10:30 shotgun start. Get a team organised now, as slots are limited in Ourgolf booking software. Please bring a plate of food to share.
As per last year, each player has 1 mulligan on the front nine, and 1 on the back nine to be used at will.
A mulligan is a stroke in golf that is played from the same spot that a player hit their previous stroke, looking to re-play the prior shot without penalty. In other words, golfers use mulligans to wipe out the previous shot and consider it to have never counted. It's a re-play.
All board event trophies will be presented after the comp, so everyone is present and we can applaud the winners.
The club will provide a certain amount of food, but it would be appreciated if members would supplement the tables.
We are allowed around 100 members in the clubhouse, socially distancing of course, but it will be spread around the 2 function rooms and the bar.
Hope you all enjoy the day. Unfortunately I am required in Melbourne on the day and have no chance to defend the mulligan cup.
Yours Sincerley: Allan J. Cardwell
