A COUPLE OF RULES

Firstly, those who played yesterday will have noticed the pile of corings on the right hand side of the 9th/18th fairway. Hopefully, you treated this as GUR, unless your ball was in the penalty area. You can take nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole.

Secondly, after many comments I heard yesterday, I would like to quote from the rule book!!!!

Rule 5 Playing the Round

*Play continuously and at a prompt pace during each hole  until your round is completed.

5.6a  Unreasonable Delay of Play

You must not unreasonably delay play, either when playing a hole or between two holes. 

Penalty for Breach of Rule 5.6a: 

* Penalty for first breach: one penalty stroke
* Penalty for second breach: General Penalty
* Penalty for third breach: Disqualification

5.6b Prompt Pace of Play

A round of golf is meant to be played at a prompt pace.
Your pace of play is likely to affect how long it will take other players to play their rounds, including both those in your group and those in following groups. You are encouraged to allow faster players to play through.

Rule 5 starts on page 34 of the small rule book. I recommend you particularly read page 37, which gives ideas on how to speed up pace of play. For example, when it is your turn to play it is recommended that you make the stroke in no more than 40 seconds.

Happy golfing,
Jenny

Tributes for Mollie Chapman

Afternoon everyone, Some of you may wish to show your sorrow at Mollie's passing. Rather than inundate Jenny and her family with flowers, the CCWGA has suggested a donation to Mollie's favourite charity. She was a long time supporter of the Fred Hollows Foundation and in discussions with her family, it was decided that perhaps setting up a fundraising page in Mollie's honour would be appropriate. The link to that page is below: https://fundraise.hollows.org/fundraisers/jennychapman   The Fred Hollows Foundation works in over 25 countries and has helped over 3 million people. Their focus in Australia is to eliminate avoidable blindness in the Indigenous population. All donations, no matter how small, in Mollie's name will add to her legacy.
