Congratulations to Ken Newman!
Ken was recently made a Life Member of our club.

This is a just reward for all his hard work as a board member for the past 12 years. He was given a great ovation by the crowd at the AGM as he rejoined the meeting after the official vote. We look forward to seeing his photo up in our clubroom in the near future.The full board for 2011-12 is:
President - Ken Newman
Vice President - Wally Gregory
Captain - Geoff Fountain
Treasurer - Stephen Lloyd
Directors:
Charlie Cook, Ron Gann, Carole Kemp, Steve Meredith, Fred Paine, Glenn Turvey and Laurie Vincent.

Abnormal Ground Conditions
Due to the continuing wet weather conditions and its effect on the golf course, several areas have been classified as 'Abnormal Ground Conditions'. These include the following:
a. 1st/10th hole - area between the creek and the green.
b. 6th/15th hole - area over the dam and the left hand rough up to a point in line with the right-hand side fairway bunker.
c. 8th hole - left-hand side of fairway and left-hand rough.
d. 9th hole - area of rough both sides of the creek between the tee and fairway.
e. 18th hole - area of rough and fairway on both sides of the creek and fairway.
Relief from abnormal ground conditions does not apply to a ball in a water hazard or lateral water hazard.
If the ball is found in abnormal ground conditions or the player's normal stance is in abnormal ground conditions the ball may be lifted, cleaned and dropped within one club length of the nearest point of relif without penalty.
The nearest point of relief may be an arc until relief is found. If the ball was in the rough and the nearest relief is on the fairway no preferred lies can be taken after the ball is dropped.
If the ball is not found, having been struck towards abnormal ground conditions and it is virtually certain that the ball is in the abnormal ground conditions, the player may drop a substitute ball where the first ball crossed the outermost limits of the abnormal ground conditions without penalty. The ball should be dropped within one club length of the point where the ball crossed the abnormal ground conditions.
Alternative drop zones for a lost ball in abnormal ground conditions on the 6th/15th and 9th holes have been marked in the course.
