New
Handicapping System
As most Members are aware the first
stage of the switch the USGA handicapping system was introduced on
Friday 9th April.
Most Members will have seen a change
in their handicap.
The first stage involved the abolition
of the daily CCR calculation and the introduction of a handicap
based on the rolling average of the best 10 rounds of the
previous 20 rounds played.
Other changes will be introduced
progressively

Course Development
Tee Sponsorship
We are still looking for more groups to sponsor a tee. The group will
initially be responsible for "tidying up" around the tee, but will also
be asked to plan ongoing beautification.
If your group can help please contact Dean Clark or David Wauchope.
Bunkers
Maintenance of the bunkers on the course is expensive, difficult and
labour intensive due to poor drainage and bunker design. A report
commissioned by the Course Committee recommends a reduction to 10
bunkers (plus the Chipping Green), with reshaping and drainage
improvements. The Course Committee is seeking input from Members
The report is available at the Club.
