[MemberNews] The R&A Open Gathering

By

Dear Members
On Sunday 21st July, it is the last day’s play of The R&A’s Open.
Why not join us for social golf from 12:00, then relax with a snack in the Clubhouse, then settle down, sit back and watch the conclusion of the golf and crowning of The Champion Golfer of the Year.
Thanks to member Lee Preston for the suggestion ????
Golf is limited to 40 members.  I am also trying to get a good price for buggies.
Book early to avoid disappointment via Michele:-
Kind Regards

[Comp Sec News] Update for Competition Draws

By

Dear Member

Please be advised of the following protocols implemented by the Club Executive Committee.
Draws have to take into account certain variables. These will mean some competitors are not drawn in handicap order, e.g. excessive travel (over 50km); buggy shares; medical/confidential reasons.
Also a maximum tee time gap (where possible) of 30 minutes for those travelling in the same vehicle.
There are 4 methods for Draws in place. The methods will be rotated as notified previously.
Low to High
High to Low
2 x combined alternating methods.
Jamie will continue to do his best, although nothing can be guaranteed.
We are re-introducing 3 time slots for all competitions:-
07:00 (07:00 to 07:50)
08:00 (08:00 to 08:50)
09:00 (09:00 to 09:50)
The new times require 45 days lead time for programming etc.  Therefore these will be available from week commencing 8th April 2024.
Kind regards

Rules Education Initiative for Secret Valley Members

By

Dear Members, 

The CGF Handicaps Rules and Course Rating Committee have approved a new nationwide
Rules Education Initiative detailed below: 

We want to start by offering each Club the opportunity to tap into the knowledge and
experience of our rules expert, Michele Miller (A R&A Level 3 Referee).

A customised session will be offered with emphasis on typical situations occurring on the
course, presented in a fun yet recognisable way. 2 or 3 key items will be covered, lasting
no more than 90 mins outside and 30 mins indoors. No previous knowledge of the rules is necessary.
Why is it beneficial? Some golfers have a desire to become better informed about the
Rules for their personal golfing benefit. Furthermore some want to progress to
recognised qualifications.
Ideally a minimum of 15 and maximum of 25 people are required for a successful session.

There will be various levels available to interested individuals. You never know, a
budding world class referee might be discovered.

Our Overall Objective is for well-informed golfers who would be able to proceed correctly
in the majority of common situations encountered on the course.
Michele has been booked to run the first session on Monday 8th January starting at 1pm. 
Members wishing to participate can sign up via the Club Event Registration button on the Website Homepage.

Kind Regards

Inter-Club Match v Aphrodite Hills on Wed 7 Jun 23

By

Aphrodite Hills Inter club Match

On Wednesday, we had our home Inter club match against Aphrodite Hills , Secret Valley won the match 6-4 .  A great turnaround from our match at Aphrodite. There clearly is a good friendship between the two clubs and this was reflected in the match with myself, Andy, Steve and Robert. Lots of friendly banter but a determination to win for our clubs. My thanks to Steve (Aphrodite captain) who was a great help to me setting up the match and all the players who took part especially those who stepped in at the last minute.  A special thanks to Bill Kemter who rang round to get our final player late on Tuesday evening.
