Breakers Ladies Golf Club Wamberal

Hi Ladies, As mentioned yesterday, a group of our lady golfers has arranged to travel to Sydney by train on Friday 5th July to see the Archibald Prize exhibition. We will then have a picnic lunch (byo picnic) in the gardens. All ladies are welcome to join us.         Train details etc will be advised closer to the date.

Although it was a very chilly start, conditions were good, with lots of run and not too much wind. Scores are starting to rise, with quite a few ladies finishing with 36 points today. Congratulations to one of our new ladies, Leone Hajduk, who scored a personal best of 27 points. We look forward to seeing you each week now that you are in the mix! Next step- win a ball. SHIRT ORDERS reminder-- Please contact Michelle or Bronwyn TODAY if you haven't already ordered as orders are being placed tomorrow.

Do you know all your options when you drop out of a red penalty area? Are you dropping in the correct area? This has changed in the new rules so check below... Option 1:   Stroke and distance relief means you can play the original ball or another ball from a relief area near where you played the previous shot. If you played from the teeing area, you can replay from anywhere within the teeing area. If you played from the general area, you must drop within a one club length relief area, no nearer the hole. If you’ve putted from the green into a penalty area (I’ve seen it happen on the 4 th at Everglades!), you can replace the ball on the spot from where you played the previous shot. Option 2: Back on the line relief. Here you may drop the original ball or another ball in a relief area based on a reference line going from reference point X , where it last crossed the edge of the penalty area, to the flag. Imagine this line and you can go back as far as you like on the l

Good news and bad news again from our Pennant teams today. Wattle played Toukley at Shelly and came away with the win 4-3. This meant they ended up  equal third behind Kooindah  and Everglades. Our Banksia team were in with an overall winning chance at Everglades against Gosford. Unfortunately, it was not to be, with Gosford spoiling the party by winning 4-3. In the end, Morisset beat Toukley 5.5 to 1.5 to be clear winners of the pool with Breakers second. This also means that Morisset win the Margin Shield. At least they go out with a bang!

Congratulations to all the winners today, particularly Nancy Chilman who was the only one to break 70. Once again Nareda Leary putter extraordinaire came to play!!!! https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=122108 All the best to Pennant Teams for Monday's games.

Big Congratulations to the Banksia team on their 4-3 win. Very tough battle for all. Judi Eaton luckily didn't realise how much pressure was on her because the team waited for 45 min for her result and thankfully she came up the 18th and won the hole. Unfortunately the Wattle team lost 6-1!!!! Thanks Bronwyn for saving us for one point. Good luck to those playing at Gosford tomorrow, less pressure more fun. See you all on Thursday.

No this is not a repeat of last week ........ Michelle Hughes won again.  Congratulations to Judi Eaton and Denise Newman who took out their divisions and all our other winners. A very special happy birthday to Jan Gee, who was delighted with the Australian native flowers. Good luck to our Pennants Teams for Monday, finger, toes, arms, legs and everything else crossed. Loving our new tee, some sensational models demonstrating their swing! Happy Mothers Day. https://portalpreview.micropower.com.au/breakerscc/competition/prizes?CompetitionId=122106

More good news from both Pennant teams today. At Shelly, our Banksia team had a great 5-2 win over Toukley. Meanwhile, our Wattle team squared with Shelly Beach at Toukley. This means we are both still in with a chance with two rounds to go. Highlight of today was Mel Sheekey's win over Yvonne Boardman. With Yvonne on 1 and Mel on 18, Mel got a shot on every hole except the 1st. Yvonne assures us she played really well herself but Mel had so many pars that she won on the 13th! A fantastic result!! Next Monday, Banksia have a tough match against the front runners, Morisset, at Magenta. Wattle plays at Morisset versus Everglades. Good luck everyone.

So thanks to our new crow friends we have to be aware of the following rule... Rule 9.6 Ball Lifted or Moved by Outside Influence If it is known or virtually certain that an outside influence lifted or moved a player’s ball: There is no penalty , and The ball must be replaced on its original spot (which if not known must be estimated) This applies whether or not the player’s ball is found. So this is what you would do if you saw a crow take your ball. However, you can’t assume that this is the case. It must be known or virtually certain. For example, if you hit the ball into the rough or over a hill and it can’t be seen, even if crows are around, you don’t know for sure that a crow took it, it may simply be a lost ball.  On the other hand, if you and your marker quite clearly saw a ball finish in the middle of the fairway, saw a crow flying nearby and then your ball was no longer there, then you may be virtually certain that the crow took it. So, it i

Congratulations to all our ladies who made it through our 27 hole foursomes championships.  We had two seasons in one day.... predominantly summer bucking against historical trends.  The course was in magnificent condition.  With  the rough living up to it's reputation! This crow did not get a ball today: This one did!!! Special congrats to Sally and Janice, who defended their title in true champion style. Good lucks to our Pennants teams for Monday.  Happy golfing xxx

We will have sandwich orders for tomorrow. They will be ready for pickup after 18 holes from the Pro Shop. Nicky also will take Pie and sausage roll orders. Please read the white board on arrival and go out and have fun. 😎⛳
