Dress Code The minimum standard requires clean, neat

and tidy attire for both golfers and caddies, both on the course and in the clubhouse.

Consideration and respect for the other members should be kept in mind at all

times. It is the responsibility of each Member to ensure that they and their

guests observe the Club’s dress rules. Preferred Dress code :

Golf Shoes with soft spikes.

Shirts with a standard collar, crew or polo neck

Trousers can be cotton/drill, cord, denim/looks like, regular golf trousers or

plus fours. Shorts may be of any length and of

cotton/drill, denim/looks like denim and must contain a fly, no draw strings and be

able to be worn with a belt. This would include cargo shorts.

Socks (when worn with shorts) can be ankle length, sports or anklets that are

UNACCEPTABLE: Beachwear Non-golf sportswear or industrial

clothing/workwear Local RulesLocal Rules & Heat Policy

COURSE POLICIES Heat, Wind and Lightning Policy - see web

site.

LOCAL & TEMPORARY RULES Temporary Local Rules – see notice board in front of golf shop

Local rules are on the back of the scorecard

Summary- Garden Beds- Mulch A quick

refresher on Mulch/Garden Bed Local rules

(on the back of the scorecard ) and our temporary local rules (located on the

proshop noticeboard near the 10th tee). Our mulch areas are integral parts of the

course unless the mulch is signed (“garden bed”). If there is a garden bed sign you

must take relief from the mulch “garden bed” area. If the area is not signed (such as

along the 12th path, behind the 10th) you

must play the ball as it lies unless you can take the following option.

Local rule – you must take relief from trees

or shrubs under 2 club length in height. Rule 24-2b. Remember that taking relief

from a staked tree or shrub under 2 clublengths is not relief from the mulch,

only from the tree. If not sure ask a golf committee member or staff. No need to

guess. The Golf Committee/ Course staff over time

are improving the mulch “garden bed” areas and making them uniform in looks, so

that 1. They are easier to play off (such as the

Aus Open picture),

2. The cosmetic look of the course is more appealing.

2

Paths for clarity under our rules and the

rules of golf you may take relief from Granetic (below) and concrete paths only .

All other paths are general wear and tear and relief is not allowed under the rule 25-

1. For example below, if you ball is on the

path you may take relief at the nearest point. If that point is on the mulch you

must drop and play from the mulch (as no garden bed sign exists). You may opt to

play off the path.

18 -24 November 2018 - National

Skin Cancer Action Week

Information from Cancer Council of

Australia phone

131120

Each year Cancer Council Australia and the

Australasian College of Dermatologists come together for National Skin Cancer

Action Week. With two in three Australians diagnosed

with skin cancer by age 70, the action week is an important reminder to use sun

protection and of the importance of early skin cancer detection for all Australians.

More than 2,000 people in Australia die

from skin cancer each year, and Cancer Council estimates that Australia spends

more than $1 billion per year treating skin cancer, with costs increasing substantially

over the past few years. However, most skin cancers can be

prevented by the use of good sun protection. That’s why this National Skin

Cancer Action Week, all Australians are urged to use the five forms of sun

protection. These are to: slip on sun-protective clothing

slop on SPF30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen

slap on a broad-brimmed hat

seek shade slide on sunglasses.

A combination of these measures, along with getting to know your skin and regularly

checking for any changes, are the keys to reducing your skin cancer risk.

More details on National Skin Cancer Action Week 2018 will be available later in the

year.

A Rock Hudson Putt: Looks straight…but it

ain't…

Fairway: An unfamiliar tract of closely mown grass running directly from tee to the

green.

Your ball can usually be found immediately to the left or right of it.

Golf is a game in which the slowest people

in the world are those in front of you, and the fastest are those behind.

You know you're a hack when your divot

flies farther than your ball!

The difference between a whiff and a practice swing is that nobody curses after a

practice swing.

Oxymoron: An easy par three.

“My game is so bad I had to have my ball retriever regripped!”

Golf is a game where the ball lies poorly,

and the players lie well.

Real golfers don't miss putts, they get robbed.

Real golfers don't cry when they line up their fourth putt.

Although golf was originally restricted to

wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it’s open to anybody who owns hideous

clothing. -Dave Barry

Nobody knows precisely when the sport

called “golf” started, as ball and stick games seem to be a constant throughout

human history. The Dutch played kolf, which began in the 14th century and

involves hitting a ball against a post in the ground. In the French version, jeu de mail,

the ball was hit through hoops using a hammer. In England it was called palle

maille, (which is how the London street Pall Mall got its name) and ultimately evolved

into croquet. But it was the Scots who really deserve the

credit. Sometime in the 15th century, Scottish merchants brought the Dutch kolf

craze home to St Andrews and adopted it

as their own by making the target a hole in the ground.

Illegal

The first mention of “golf” was in a 1457 act making it illegal. James II of Scotland

banned golf and football and suggested

7

people spend their time practising archery instead, as this might be of some defensive

help to the country. The ban was reinforced by James III in

1471, and again by James IV in 1491. This royal dislike for the game obviously faded,

as the first recorded female golfer was Mary

Queen of Scots.

Lingo “Links” comes from the Old English hlinc

meaning raised or ridged ground. A birdie is a score of one under par – and the birds

grow rarer as the score improves: an eagle is two under par, an albatross three under,

while four under par is unofficially known as a condor. Scoring a condor – a hole-in-one

on a par five hole – is almost unheard of. There are only four reported occurrences:

the most recent of which was hit by 16-year-old Jack Bartlett at the Royal

Wentworth Falls Country Club in New South

Wales, Australia in 2007. The odds of hitting two holes-in-one in the

same round are 67 million to one.

Rules The oldest known rules of golf were written

in 1744 by an Edinburgh Golf Club – in the original rules you had to tee off within a

club’s length of the hole. The Richmond Golf

Club drafted additional rules during the Second World War, so players would know

what to do if bombs were dropped mid-game. These duties included collecting any

shrapnel (as it could damage the lawnmowers) and being allowed to take

cover during gunfire or bombings and replace a ball displaced by enemy action

without penalty.

Balls Early golf balls used to be filled with

feathers. These would be stuffed into a leather case with an iron rod and a ball-

maker could produce 50 to 60 in a week. In

the 1840s, golf balls began to be made out of gutta percha (a form of natural rubber).

These were cheaper and more hard-wearing than the feathered version but meant golf

clubs became heavier and did more damage to the grounds.

Woodrow Wilson had his golf balls painted black so he could still play when it snowed.

Gear I

There were no golf bags until the 1890s –

before then caddies simply tied a strap around the clubs. The first golf tees were

piles of sand. Moulds to make the mound soon appeared which were followed by

celluloid tees in 1900. Golf holes are always 4¼in wide and have

been since 1891. This is because The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R & A)

wrote the rule book, and their holecutter

had those measurements. Before the advent of the cutter, golf holes were just

dug with trowels.

Gear II The oft remarked-upon garishness of

golfing outfits dates back to the 18th century when players wore red jackets for

the game. Clubs took attire seriously and you could be fined if you weren’t wearing

the right outfit. In 1960, South African golfer Gary Player

wore a pair of trousers with one black leg and one white leg to the Open

Championship in St Andrews to protest

against Apartheid. Plus-fours contain four inches more

material than regular knee-length trousers; you can also get shorter plus-twos and

longer plus-eights.

Extreme golf The Green Zone Golf Club is located on the

border of Finland and Sweden: half the holes are in one country and half in the

other. South Africa’s Legend Golf and Safari Resort has a tee which is 1,300ft up a

mountain. The green is far below, at ground level, but

if you make a hole-in-one you win

$1,000,000.
