Breakers Ladies Golf Club Wamberal

Beautiful day for golf. A little wet for the early morning players. https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=116122 Good luck to our Pennant players for Monday.

Pennants Practice Due to bad weather this couldn't go ahead today. We have spots booked for 2.30pm on Wednesday. Please let Colleen know if you intend on joining us. Pennants Meeting Thursday Forecast is not great for Thursday. If play is cancelled or you don't play please check blog for updates as we will need to meet with as many pennant players as possible Information on how to play: EASTER NOVELTY DAY COUNTDOWN STABLEFORD with AMBROSE START on Par 4s and 5s. Today’s event is a Team of 4 --- COUNTDOWN STABLEFORD ---3 scores on par 5s, 2 scores on par 4s and one score on par 3s. Please only enter these scores on the card and pick up if you can’t beat your partners. THE “NOVELTY” IS THAT ON ALL PAR 4s and PAR 5s, each team will use an AMBROSE START . This means that on those holes, you select one tee shot and ALL players play their next shot from there. You then all continue as four separate individual stablefords, counting the Ambrose start as

A great Wyong Classic for 2019. A little wet under foot and steamy everywhere else!!!

Hi Ladies, We have arranged two times next week for anyone who is interested in a 9 hole Match Play practice for pennants, either as a refresher, or for those new to Pennants. Times are  Monday 25th at 10.30am and Wednesday 27th at 2.30pm. Please let Colleen know (0412 411 721) if you plan to attend so that groups can be organised. A REMINDER ALSO THAT WE WOULD LIKE AS MANY PENNANT PLAYERS AS POSSIBLE TO STAY BACK AFTER GOLF NEXT THURSDAY FOR A FINAL PENNANTS MEETING. Thanks, Committee

Stroke today was hard work, particularly because of the dew and recent rain. Our scores reflected this. Congratulations to those who managed to master the conditions. The renovations to the first tee have commenced and a temporary tee is around the corner for the next 6 weeks or so. Please make sure you know your group and the group in front to avoid delays. Remember to get your team of 4 together for the Novelty Easter Event. More details next week. Good luck to all those ladies playing at Wyong tomorrow. https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=116119

Fantastic St Patrick’s Day Jolly Joker at Gosford. All you need is a little bit of Irish luck - which rollled the way of Sally, Michelle, Chun and Bronwyn, taking out first place and best dressed. Nancy Carey-Berryman  and Yvonne Brooker taking out raffle prizes.

DEFINITIONS      RULE BOOK   page 135-148. At every rules course I’ve ever been to, the first and most important statement goes something like this.....” If you read nothing else in the rule book, read the definitions. You will learn a lot!” In the new rule book, the definitions are, unfortunately, hidden at the back, starting on page 135. It is worth checking them out every so often. Here are two that have caused concern in recent weeks. 1.        The teeing area. This is the area you must play from at the start of each hole. The teeing area is a rectangle that is two club-lengths deep , where the front edge of the rectangle is the line between the forward-most points of the two tee markers and the side edges are defined by the lines back from the outside points of the tee-markers. (It does not mean the whole raised teeing ground.....the rest of this is in the general area.) 2.        The general area (formerly “through the green”). This is the area of the course

CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE HUGHES...HOLE IN ONE 13TH. This is always a highlight and, once again, word spread like wildfire. All reports suggest it looked like going in the hole from the moment she hit it!! Is she on a roll or what? This follows up two outstanding days at Toukley, where Michelle was the overall nett winner for Division One for the 36 hole event. What a week!! Considering the weather forecast, we were very lucky to even be out there today and managed to finish without getting wet. https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=116116

PENALTY AREAS                RULE 17 Although we now only have red penalty areas at Breakers, you need to know the rule for Yellow penalty areas as well in case you come across one at another course (eg Toukley) so... Relief for ball in Yellow Penalty Area   (this has not changed!) 1.        Stroke and distance relief.   Go back and hit from where you played the previous stroke for a one stroke penalty (One club length relief area from the original point in the general area) 2.        Back on the Line relief.   The reference line is the line from where the ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area to the flag. You may go back as far as you like on the line. (One club length relief area from the chosen point in the general area) The above two options are also available for all Red Penalty Areas (this has also not changed!) For Red Penalty Areas there is still this additional option 3.        Lateral relief. You may take two club lengths relief from the ref

Lovely day for golf today and some very good scores as well. https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=116115

Here’s an interesting new rule which came up last Thursday. This detail is only available in the full rules so I am copying it here for all to see. Rule 6.2b(6)/1 –Ball That Comes to Rest in Teeing Area Does Not Have to Be Played as it Lies. Any time a player’s ball is inside the teeing area , the player may move the ball to another spot within the teeing area , and may play it from a tee without penalty. For example, a player makes his or her first stroke from the teeing area , barely making contact with the ball, and the ball either comes to rest on the ground within the teeing area or remains on the tee. Since the ball is in the teeing area , the player may play the ball as it lies or, even though the ball is in play , may move the ball to any other spot within the teeing area and play from there without penalty. The player may also place the ball on a tee or adjust the height of the tee the ball is resting on.
