Post Covid Syllabus, Comps, booking times and rules of entry.
Published on 26th October 2020 in UncategorizedAll,
As we tentatively emerge from the clutches of COVID-19, where many have been challenged by being laid off or are experiencing changed work circumstances, demand for tee times remains at an all-time high.
Exacerbating this is the fact that the Course is fully booked, for social play, every day up until 6PM
As a result, there will be a change to the booking schedule, with some earlier starts on Mondays and Sundays, and additional spots allocated the YGC.
- Four player bookings resume Wednesday 28 October – for Members only (Public are limited to 2 ball)
Full YGC Competition resumes Monday 2nd November
-
November M/Week Medal – Wednesday 4th
-
November Medal & Foundation Cup – November 7th
-
Club Championships commence – November 14th (after the 25 km limit lifted)
-
4 player groups
-
full rules of golf
-
handicapping (App or scorecards)
-
entry fee $5 (notes only – see below)
-
competition prize vouchers
-
“Nearest the Pin” remains on hold
BOOKINGS:
Booking sheets open 3 days prior to the day of play at 8PM.
This will allow people time to get home from work, have dinner, look after the kids or grandkids, check the weather forecast, and settle in before having to rush to book.
Monday bookings will open at 8PM on the Friday before
Wednesday bookings will open at 8PM on the Sunday before
Saturday bookings will open at 8PM on the Wednesday before
Sunday bookings will open at 8PM on the Thursday before
In addition to this change and due to the continued high demand, for Monday competition tee times only at this stage, booking will be limited to 2 per member – you will not be permitted to book 4 players at one time.
On Mondays there are only 64 available spots – and if the first 15 people to access the booking times all book for 4 players, then any others trying to book will be competing for only 4 available spots.
COMPETITION CONDITIONS:
- Only Competition rounds permitted – no social play or 9 hole rounds within YGC booking periods.
- $5 Entry (or ball voucher)
- Bring your own envelope (Woolworths sell packs of 100 envelopes for $3) – no folded bits of paper please!
- NO COINS: coins=disqualification – no exceptions (Woolworths self-checkouts dispense $5 notes)
- If you can use the MiScore App – use the MiScore App.
- If you do not have a mobile phone can you use a Scorecard in the usual manner. (Score your marker’s score)
- One signature only – by the marker – and record the initials of the player on either the App or scorecard
