\nThe cold snap across this past week has slowed our recovery process, but we are still on track for a healthy coverage of grass on all of our greens.\u00a0 It means that the greens will be a little slower for a few more days (this weekend), as we try to promote the grass growth before regular mowing.\u00a0 The sprinkle of rain we are getting across the weekend should help our situation too.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A reminder that the new prize credit system will start from Saturday 1st<\/sup> September.\u00a0 It means that instead of looking up pages of rundown sheets in the Pro Shop to see if you won a prize\/ball, you will be able to look it up online at home through the website.\u00a0 A question and answer sheet will be placed on the website in the coming week to answer any questions you may have.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The new rule books will be available by October, but will not come into play until January 2019.\u00a0 We will be displaying a range of videos and flyers as a lead up to the new rules so that all members are aware of the changes \u2013 a lot of them are common sense and some members are probably inadvertently doing them already!\u00a0 There are changes to the terminology used for areas such as \u201cHazards\u201d and the way they come into play will also dramatically change.\u00a0 Keep an eye out on the website and noticeboards for information on the new Rules of Golf.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Congratulations to all the members who have qualified for the Muirfield Cup.\u00a0 Tony Kitto has agreed to Manage the Wearne Team, but the Newton Team is still in search of a Team Manager \u2013 if you would like to offer your services across the two dates, then please contact General Manager Cameron in the office.\u00a0 The Wearne Team has dominated the past couple of years, but a change is on the horizon!!<\/p>\n
\nThe official books for timing players has ceased, but we ask that all players remain aware of their pace of play as we help to ensure that all members enjoy their round, in good time.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A reminder that there is one more Junior Clinic for August and it is scheduled for Sunday 26th<\/sup> August.\u00a0 See the Pro Shop for details.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The teams are back home this weekend and want to finish the season with a solid win.\u00a0 Tee off from 11am.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Many thanks for those people supporting the Ladies Charity Day in aid of The Children’s Medical Research Institute, which will be happening this coming Tuesday 28th August.
\nSpecial thanks to those members who have been buying raffle tickets and cakes from the ladies on\u00a0Mondays.
\nRaffle tickets can still be purchased at the bar, 3 for $5.\u00a0 There are 11 prizes to be won, including one week\u2019s accommodation at Nelson Bay, Hampers full of goodies, Vouchers from Specsavers and Jimmy’s Restaurant, movie tickets and some very beautiful framed drawings of horses by a young talented artist.\u00a0 Your Lamington orders can be picked up on Tuesday after 1pm too.<\/p>\n
\nThere may be times when you need a Justice of the Peace to witness the signature of documents \u2013 if you ever get stuck for finding one at short notice, then we have some qualified people in the club who are happy to offer their services.\u00a0 Contact the office for details.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>If any members are currently using ozemail.com as their email address, please be aware that there are some ongoing issues between their provider (iiNet) and the club\u2019s provider (Telstra), so your emails may not come through to the club.\u00a0 If you have sent an email to the club from an ozemail address, and have not received a reply, please check that we have received it.\u00a0 The issue is intermittent but ongoing and we thank you for your patience.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Sydney Veterans are holding an event at Muirfield on Monday 24th<\/sup> September.\u00a0 This means that the normal Monday competition will be cancelled for this day.\u00a0 The Vets will have a timesheet that runs from 8am-10am on both tees and any Muirfield Members who want to play on that day, please enter through the Sydney Vets, if eligible, otherwise social play for members will be on offer from after 12:30pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
