Away Interclub Match vs Minthis – Wed 12th March 2025

By

Dear Members,

It is with pleasure that I wish to announce our first inter-club team selection for Season 2025.

On Wed 12 th March 2025, the SVGC team is drawn to play against Minthis at the Minthis GolfClub, and the first tee grouping will start at 8:00am (and 9 min intervals thereafter). 

General Information:
1. Team photo opportunities – all SVGC team members are asked to arrive at Minthis
ahead of the first tee time for a group photo. A second group photo may be arranged
during the luncheon.

The driving range, practice bunker, chipping area, and putting green will be available for
your warm-up practice ahead of your tee time (to be advised shortly).
2. Club polo – all club members are asked to wear the SVGC hot-pink polo and navy-blue bottoms (ie. trousers, shorts, skirts).
A small stock of the SVGC hot-pink polos (in limited sizing) are available in the Proshop.
The polos are offered ‘free-of-charge’ for new team members. Note that an additional
batch of SVGC hot-pink polos will be ordered shortly for the upcoming interclub
matches in 2025.
If you are unable to source a SVGC hot-pink polo from the Proshop, please wear your
own hot-pink polo for this Minthis match.
3. Teams – there are two competing teams of 20x players each, comprising 6x ladies and
14x gents, respectively. There will be 10 flights of 4x players each. Team match play
rules apply.  The ladies will play from the red tees and the gents will play from the yellow tees. Maximum handicaps apply for the ladies (36) and for the gents (28).
4. Lunch – Minthis will offer a ‘wrap’ lunch in their downstairs restaurant to follow the group matches. The cost of the wrap is Euro 9 pp (and drinks are extra). Cash payment is preferred. Details of the wrap options will follow shortly.

Relief from bunker puddles

By

Dear Members
A timely reminder how to correctly take relief from bunker puddles.
Firstly, to retain Qualifying Conditions no more than 20% of bunkers can be made GUR.  More than this makes a competition non-qualifying.
Free relief is available for temporary water (not mud) in a bunker.  But only for a drop in the same bunker.
Using the ball's position, You find your nearest point of complete relief not nearer the hole (flag) for ball, feet and swing.  You then have one club-length to drop a ball no nearer the hole.
If you cannot find the ball, you estimate point of entry and drop another ball within the bunker as above.
If your nearest point of relief is not a good lie, you cannot go to a better spot.
Nowhere to drop?  For a one shot penalty you an take a drop outside the bunker, back-in-line.
On the attached drawing I have shown various scenarios (not to scale).
3 flag positions
3 puddles – with drop area shown as a D but not necessarily for all 3 flags
The * shows where to take outside penalty relief, one for each flag.
