Well what a shocking week weather wise ☹ The PGA seniors & trainees events that was scheduled for Monday, the Seniors Spring stableford scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday’s ladies comp have all been cancelled due to inclement weather. Fingers crossed for the men’s Bogey Final on Saturday.
As you’ll read below, the juniors managed to get round on Saturday afternoon though.
This week, we also have our new feature “Snips from Greens” explaining about the procedure when a player plays from the wrong tee.
Junior Stableford
The first junior competition of the season was played in the cold and wet last Saturday. The winner after battling round the front nine was Matthew Hodder with 16 point. Alex Keeling pipped Ollie Grieves on count back to secure second place with 13 points.
Men’s Team Clothing
I will be placing the order early next week so please let me know asap if you’d like to get one of the navy FJ polos as linked to here and shown in the photo below. The price is £45.
If there are any other FootJoy clothing items that you would like to order with the Hale GC crest on, I can add those to the order. Here’s a link to their website. This offer is open to men, ladies and juniors.
For the men, one option might be a navy mid layer which would compliment the navy polo if things ended up being a little chilly. Here’s a link to that garment and there’s a photo below.
UA Waterproof Jackets
I’ve also taken stock of a small run of close out Under Armour waterproof jackets. As you can see from the photo below, they look great. I have them in men’s small, medium and large. The price is £99 but if you buy one before my next newsletter comes out I’ll take £10 of that price.
Ladies Spring Dinner
Thanks to Sue Bryant for providing me with these photos from the evening.
Snips from Greens – Playing from the Wrong Tee
Strokeplay – If you realise you have done this and you have not yet started the next hole you need to apply the general penalty of two strokes to your score and go back and play from the correct tee. If you don’t realise your error until after you’ve teed off on the next hole then you have to disqualify your score for the entire round.
Matchplay – There is no penalty but your opponent may choose to cancel your stroke and make you play another ball. If your opponent does not cancel your stroke, you simply carry on as normal.
Thanks again to Bob Siddle for providing these rules reminders.
