What the sport of golf means to people is extremely difficult to put into words, since at any one moment golf can be any number of things.  It can be a moment of triumph as you break 80 for the first time and give your mates a hard time or copping it from them in a crushing defeat as you 3-putt your last hole to lose a match, it can hold moments of pure joy and jubilation after you hole out for eagle and disbelief and heartbreak on the next as you pump two tee shots right out of bounds.  We are not playing against other players, as much as we are playing against a course: an inanimate, unfeeling thing, even if it does not always seem like it.  Why do you spend the money to play a game that humbles you?”   The answer is as simple as it is complicated: we love it, hitting that shot out of the trees and onto the green is why we love golf. Hitting that crisp iron from the fairway and seeing the ball roll onto the green or dropping in that snake from 35 feet to save par is why we love golf.

To Golf Members  Gentlemen, we are in regular discussions with Matt, Venue Manager and Wayne Hensley, Ground Superintendent to open up the course as soon as possible.  It has been suggested by some members that we can open up some of the Par 4 holes.  Having played yesterday (Saturday) there are to many areas that are still holding water and the safety of our members is foremost in the minds of Mounties management.  Is is somewhat disappointing to see such low numbers playing the alternative Par 3 course.  This was designed as a temporary measure but with more rain predicted, we may be playing the Par 3 longer than first thought. If this is the case, we plan to make adjustments to handicaps to provide a more even playing field.  Whilst we are using temporary score cards, please make sure your Name and Handicap are written the scorecard .  We have had score cards handed in with no name on the card. We will only be playing a Single Stableford on the Par 3 course.  All major Mens comps ha
