Our match play charts have been posted by Dale Hodge, the match play and handicap convenor. They are also posted on the tabs above. June 24 (three weeks from today) is the date by which the first match must be played - don't delay in getting a conversation started. It's especially tricky in the doubles, with 4 people. Signed and attested scorecards are to be put in the box on the cabinet in the locker room. Match play scores are to be entered for handicap and may be used for the achievement board in addition to another game played that week.
The rules are posted above each match - it's always a good idea to refresh your memory.
New this year - we are using 90% of handicap for the doubles matches, as per a Golf Canada recommendation. On the GC website, (https://scg.golfcanada.ca/login) under your name is Playing Handicap Percentage, which you can open to 90%. Then below on the chart, you look at your Playing Handicap (not Course Handicap) for Women's RED. Any questions? Dale can help.
Good luck and have fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A question about bunker play has come up a couple of times recently. "What am I allowed to do when I am under the lip and can't possibly go forward?" This one on #12 below is an example:
One option is to hit it right or left out of the bunker, but sometimes that may be impossible. Another option is to take a penalty stroke and keeping the ball and the flag in line with each other, go back within the bunker as far as you'd like (see #2 below). For 2 penalty strokes you may drop outside the bunker, again keeping the ball and flag in line (see #4 below).

Hole-in-One Club
Each time someone in the club gets a hole-in-one, people in the club are charged $2 on their accounts. About 80% of that money is put on the account of the lucky shooter to spend in the pro shop or the bar/restaurant - right now about $245. About 20% is taken to buy each winner a gift to remember the occasion.
If you were a member of the Hole in One Club last year, you are already enrolled for this year. The more people in it, the larger the prize money, so encourage all you friends to join up. On average we have between 15 and 20 holes-in-one every season.
