The player with the highest score on each hole will be the winner of that hole.
Games have been arranged for those not competing in the match play finals. Note 2: Guest Day Invite along a sighted golfer to play in your group. A friend or a potential new caddy! This is restricted to 1 guest per player/caddy and guests should have a recognised handicap Note 3: Novelty Golf Days Nearest the pin and number of putts will be held on alternative stroke events (9 holes). The President or starter will announce these days, either the week prior to the event or on the day of the event. Each Friday there is a timesheet put out on the starter's table for the following week and we would ask you to MAKE SURE your name is down for this game. If you were not present but wish to play, would you please ring the starter Tom Conway - 9339 2802). This also applies if you are unable to make the game after putting your name on the sheet. WHERE POSSIBLE, players should arrange additional games of golf outside the weekly fixtures to improve their golf. The committee would like ALL PLAYERS & CADDIES to make every endeavour to stay on after the game to hear results and any club news that may be of particular interest to you.
