What a great day to get back to Nelson Golf Club Women’s Golf!!!!

I’ve had many reports on Tuesday’s play and from the number of women out it sounds like everyone enjoyed the day. I’m told we had 70+ women on the course! FANTASTIC!!!

We are so lucky to have such a great committee who are ensuring that our revised program runs smoothly. I am very grateful for their efforts at this time.

Thank you to all who bought raffle tickets. The money raised will assist with travel expenses required in future.

 It is likely we will see another large number of women joining the Tuesday competition. Consequently, we will all need to bring with us our kindness and patience we have been employing over the past six weeks. Your Committee will do the very best to ensure the draw for Tuesday is done the best it can be. 

Your cooperation and consideration is respectfully requested.

 I understand that the changes to holes 1, 2 & 7 will be in place again on Saturday and Tuesday.As the adjustments will be made to the cards, these changes should not be a problem for the competitions scheduled.

The draw will be done Monday and emailed to you. Please enter your name into dot golf to ensure you are put into the draw for play no later than Sunday evening. You can also ring the pro shop and give them your name to enter.

Ladies 9 Hole Golf Updates

Finally we have been able to restart our Golf year.

About 70 women, 9 and 18 holers, played a Waltz Stableford competition on Tuesday. Everyone was enjoying themselves. It was good to see so many players upstairs enjoying lunch.

Monique, Tracey and Rebecca, were very busy in the cafe, handling so many orders well. Great work.

The 9th of June is an LGU Day. We will tee off in handicap order this time. PLEASE BOOK BY SUNDAY NIGHT THE 7TH. You will receive your tee time on Monday the 8th. Starter Marjan, please come into the Hub to enter the 3’s.

There is sign up sheet on the notice board for the Committee Cup. This played on the 16th and 23rd of June. Choose your own partner. Best ball stableford. Please put your name down on Tuesday! Ring me if you want to play and can’t make this Tuesday.

The sign up sheet for the Carey Cup will be on the noticeboard from Tuesday. This is match-play on handicap. Qualifying round is on 7 July. Round 1 is played on 14 July and round 2 on 21 July. Remainder played in your own time before 31 August 2020.

We can hand in our (best) stableford cards for the Postal Stableford competition. Please put them in the red letterbox in the Hub. You need at least 4 cards. This competition closes at the end of August. You can hand in cards from any game or any club in the District you have played at in this period.

The new Dotgolf App is very easy to use, please download and have a go. You can use it as you play to record your score and that of your Marker. You do need to check-in at Pro Shop or via the app and a card number will be allocated to you which will show up on your app. I find it easier to have a card printed and enter the score after you have played and checked with the Marker if all scores are correct. You fill in your own card, no swapping then enter the scores on your

phone. Less risk of contamination. You need to know the membership number of your Marker and note this on your card. You can, of course, still enter your card manually. Looking forward to an uninterrupted remainder of the golf season.

Vets Golf resumes next Monday 8th June with an Open Tournament sponsored by Guyton’s Seafood and Sotheby’s International Realty.

With the relaxation of Level 2 restrictions we will be able to return to shotgun-start events.

We will be playing an individual single stableford with separate competitions for Men (Blue Tees) and Women (Red Tees). This round will count towards the 2020 eclectic competitions and there will also be a prize for Best Gross. The Nelson Nines will be playing a combined (Men and Women) single stableford event.

Remember to register for the 18-hole competition at the Pro Shop by 10.00am for a shotgun start at 10.30am and come a little earlier than usual to avoid congestion during the registration process. For those playing the Nelson Nines please register by 12 noon for a 12.30pm start from the 1st Tee.

These tournaments are open to all affiliated golfers aged 50 or over so if you haven’t tried Vets golf before then here’s an opportunity. Our tournaments are generously sponsored and are played in a relaxed and friendly environment. Just turn up and play. We would love to see you and you will be most welcome.

Newsletter 19th May

I hope all of you are enjoying your golf. With weather like we have been having, what’s not to enjoy.Our Committee met Tuesday and had a good discussion about the revised programme. Next Tuesday there will not be any organized competition.

If you wish to play you need to put your name down or ring the pro shop and ask them to book you into dot golf.  If you don’t do so early enough, you may not get a game. The frost policy is in place and as a result you will notice that bookings are only available off the first tee. This is to ensure that if there is a frost, the tenth tee can be used instead.

The following week, 2^nd June starts our new revised golf programme with a Total Golf day. The Committee has decided that we will play a Waltz Stableford combining the 9 & 18 hole players playing 14 holes. It should be fun so make sure you put your name down for playing on 2^nd June to ensure you are included in the draw.

The Club Captain, Men’s and Women’s Captains, 9 Hole Convenor, Vets Convenor, Sean, David and the new Manager, Tony met via Zoom to discuss moving forward with golf at NGC. Tony informed us that the cabinet where the handicapping information has been displayed is to be used to post the new revised programme. The newsletter will also be posted there. With the new world handicapping system in place, handicaps change daily, so there is no need to post the handicaps any longer. Euan discussed the possibility of using an online entry form for all competitions.  He suggested that there could be a link put into the newsletter and people could register their intention to enter competition via the link. Sign up sheets would still be used in The Hub. Sean explained that during L2 it is not possible to do multi-tee starts. He also said at this point in time, the booking system will be for a seven day period.

Life is still not back to normal. Unfortunately I have a few more changes to report.This might be ongoing as we travel down the Covid-19 levels (up or down).We are still not able to organise a golf morning for all women on Tuesday the 26th of May. Please book online again and play with the people in your time slot. We are planning to start our women’s golf again on 2 June. This will now be a Total Golf Day playing a Waltz competition. Please book on line by Sunday evening and the draw will be done on Monday.The previously announced Marwick Goblet has been postponed to 11 August due to the nature of the competition as you would be sharing a ball which is not allowed just yet.

There is a sign-up sheet for the Committee Cup on the notice board.This competition is planned for the 16th and 23rd of June. Choose your own partner. Best ball stableford.

The revised program should be available soon. Copies will be put on the Notice Boards around the Club and be available on line.So far we have 3 casualties: the Jill Heath Trophy, the Mabin Salver and the Sue Bunt.

Marker. You do need to check-in at Pro Shop or via the app and a card number will be allocated to you which will show up on your app.

I find it easier to have a card printed and enter the score after you have played and checked with the Marker if all scores are correct.

You fill in your own card, no swapping then enter the scores on your phone. Less risk of contamination.You need to know the membership number of your Marker and note this on your card.You can, of course, still enter your card manually.
