BULGER TWO-BALL TOURNAMENT NEWS

YOU MAY PLAY THE TEES YOU PREFER TO PLAY.

Please indicate on the sign up Google Doc sheet the tees you prefer - the tees you play regularly. It is NOT just R/G.

The format is Full Chapman—meaning both players drive, and both hit each other’s drive. Then choose the ball you like the most. Please note: if you are hitting the third shot, it should be your golf ball! Alternate from then on until the ball is holed.

Thanks

Yvonne Shannon

Interclub Competitions

From the Interclub coordinator, Tracey Bodashefsky: 

Join the Fun in our Women’s Interclub!

The Women’s Interclub sign-up sheets are now available on the Games Board in the hall! Whether you're a seasoned golfer or new to the game, competitive or simply looking to have fun, there's a league for everyone. This is your perfect opportunity to enjoy yourself while proudly representing Dalewood WS.

Sign up for one or both of our leagues:

Interclub League

This fun league welcomes golfers of all handicap levels. In the 2-person Net Better Ball format, four teams of two women from Dalewood, Ashbrook, and Warkworth Golf Clubs compete, with only the lowest three scores from each club counting. Please sign up for all available dates. We will do our best to ensure every participant plays at least two games.

The first match is on July 10th. Sign-up cut off date is July 4th.

 ~~~

2025 Ladies City & District Golf Championship

On August 24th at Kawartha and August 25th at Peterborough, Dalewood WS will compete against Peterborough, Kawartha, Pine Crest, Tamarac, and Wildfire Golf Clubs in a competitive weekend tournament. 6 golfers from each club will play her own ball. The best 4 scores from each team count towards the team total over two days. Prizes are awarded for team gross and net scores. 

** Participants in this must compete in the Dalewood Club Championship to qualify. The cost is $60 per player for dinner and prizes, plus an optional power cart. Players must commit to playing both days.

~~~~~

THE NEXT TROPHY WE PLAY FOR IS THE BULGER TWO-BALL, JULY 8. GET YOUR PARTNER!!

~~~~~

I had the opportunity to chat with a Level 4 Rules official about taking a penalty drop on #8. If you and your partners "know or virtually know" that your ball crossed the pond, hit the ground near the green and then rolls back into the pond, you may take relief (with a 1 stroke penalty) two club lengths from the entry point next to the green as long as you can find a spot not closer to the hole. If you did not see the ball hit land (or it splashed in the water), you must still keep the pond between you and flag stick for your next shot.

When dropping, if the ball keeps rolling back into the penalty area, then after two attempts, you may place the ball where it landed.

The same rule would apply if you hit the slope between #13 green and the pond and it rolls into the penalty area.

Any questions, please ask for clarification.

 The women's section held our annual Eleni Ponting Better Ball in very summer-like weather.

Thanks to Bridget, for arranging the dinner format - the consensus was very positive!

TIPPING UPDATE

Tipping on Tuesdays: 

DWS participants have noted inconsistencies in tip handling. We had asked for automatic 15% tips to all food and beverage purchases. 

It is not working for various reasons. As we want to support the club and the servers, we are asking that the onus return to each member. Just say: Add 15% or 18%, when you order. Your call. 

Thank you for letting me know that tips are being missed.

MATCHES

All the matches are now posted on the blog, under the tabs, which are just below the picture.

~~~~~~~~

From Bridget:

"Our first Match Play using Red, Red/Green, and Green tees. Donna and Dawn won after 16. A good game. Each had a good time and we experienced every weather type. We are damp but happy." (They played on Tuesday.)

MATCH PLAY / HANDICAP UPDATES

FROM SANDI MacDONALD, HCP AND MATCH PLAY CONVENOR:

HANDICAP: WHEN POSTING A SCORE PLAYED ON RED/GREEN OR GREEN, PLEASE ENTER YOUR ADJUSTED SCORE (NET DOUBLE BOGEY). AS OF NOW, GOLF CANADA HAS THE ADJUSTED SCORE FOR ONLY RED ON ITS POSTING SITE.

MATCH PLAY: BRAD HAS COMPLETED THE MATCHES ON GOLF GENIUS AND SHOULD BE PAPER POSTED VERY SOON. SEVERAL HAVE ALREADY BOOKED THEIR MATCHES AND I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO DO THE SAME.

CARDS: PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING YOUR MATCHES SO I CAN MAKE UP YOUR CARDS. GOLF GENIUS CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE WE ARE USING DIFFERENT SETS OF TEES. TWO PREPARED CARDS WILL BE IN THE PRO SHOP. ONE WILL BE THE OFFICIAL CARD TO BE PUT IN THE BOX ON THE SHELF IN THE LOCKER ROOM, WHEN COMPLETED AND SIGNED.

MATCH PLAY GAMES SHOULD BE RECORDED FOR YOUR HANDICAP. IF THE HOLE IS NOT COMPLETED, GIVE YOURSELF A REASONABLE SCORE FOR THE HOLE - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MAX. THERE ARE SEVERAL READINGS ON MATCH PLAY RULES, ETIQUETTE AND PROCEDURES ON THE BULLETIN BOARD.

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!

Congratulations to Gail Richards on her Hole-in-One on Tuesday, May 27, on hole #11. It was a back pin and no one actually saw it go in, but after not finding the ball anywhere, they decided to look in the hole!

This is taking playing together to the extreme with Heather Ogden and Lynda Rennick both under the same tree in the rough.

The celebration of life for Linda Isaac is Thursday, June 5 at 11am.
