Breakers Ladies Golf Club Wamberal

 

 Well, considering the amount of rain we've already had today, its no surprise that it has already been decided to close the course tomorrow.  So, see you in the club for coffee/lunch. Looking at the forecast for the next week, it doesn't look promising for the Debbie Gaunt qualifying next Thursday, 7th April, but let's be positive. If you want to play and haven't arranged things with Gill, please get in touch with her asap, as we will be doing the draw tomorrow. Fingers crossed for our pennant players who are at Magenta on Monday. With the sand based course, it will probably be on, whatever the weather so let's hope it's not raining.

 Hi Ladies, Please be aware that the course is currently closed. A decision as to whether it remains closed tomorrow will be made either late this afternoon or very early in the morning. We will let you know, either way, as soon as possible. Given the current conditions, we have decided to change tomorrow's event to a Stableford, in one division only. If there is anyone who hasn't entered for the Debbie Gaunt qualifying day next Thursday and would like to do so, please get in touch with Gill Wilson. We do have a reserve list on the go if anyone doesn't have a partner. Gill will also be in touch with pennant ladies regarding next Monday. Cheers, Jenny (for Match Committee)  

 Hi Ladies, Who knows whether we'll be choosing to play this Thursday.  If we can't play, at least we can think about playing.  Imagine this scenario, not unfamiliar! You are playing our 9th hole and your second shot goes into the penalty area on the right hand side of the fairway. When you find your ball it is playable but the only clear way out is to hit it sideways or backwards to hopefully get it back onto the fairway. Is this your best option? Well, consider this. If you choose to do so, you have to hope you manage to hit it ok and you also have to hit it in the right direction so you miss any tree or bush in the way, and you have to hit it the right strength so that it gets out onto the fairway and not too far so it doesn't go right across the fairway into the water on the other side.  Let's say you do hit it successfully. Then you are back on the fairway for 3, about to hit your 4th shot, this time towards the green. BUT, another option is to decide to pi...

 Due to the inclement weather conditions it has been decided to postpone this event  until SATURDAY14th MAY There will be a presentation after this event - in conjunction with the  MEGA GOLF MEMBER GIVEAWAY and social evening for both men and women golfers and their partners (live music and many golf related prizes).Each golf member will be awarded one guaranteed  entry into the draw and can receive additional entries for every competition game played leading up to the draw from April 2nd.   (No action is required by the golf member as the men's golf committee will arrange the entries into the draw) Come along and enjoy a much needed, post Covid, long awaited, fun social evening.   

 Look out the window as this is written, and there is no surprise that all early starters have cancelled. However, the course is open, and if you are desperate for a game, there is still a comp on, IF a total of 8 ladies decide to play. As mentioned previously, we hope to see you all in the club today for coffee etc. from about 10.30am. There are new membership cards to organise and possibly pennant shirts to collect. Gill will be there to collect those pairs entries (and $5 entry fees) for the Debbie Gaunt day on 7th April. I believe there are also new shirts in the pro shop you might like to check out. So, see you later!

 Hi again, Fingers crossed that the weather will be okay tomorrow. If it's iffy in the morning, look for a message on the blog/FB. Also, don't forget that we are taking names and money for pairs to play in the Debbie Gaunt qualifying day on 7th April. Please make sure you and your partner see Gill Wilson to enter for this, if you haven't already done so. Given the condition of the course in recent times, I have been asked about, and observed for myself, what happens if you lose a ball in the general area, which might be just long grass, a bit muddy or temporary water. It is tricky because the rule about a ball lost in temporary water is different to that if it is lost but not in temporary water. As an example, if you hit your ball left off the third tee and it goes into the area not far from the fence on the second tee, it is often difficult to find. If there is no water there, then you need to use the stroke and distance rule for a lost ball, meaning you have to hit anothe...
