14th Hole NEW Water feature !

 Josh Moran ( also seen at the K club ) doing some excellent Bucket Sculpting on the 14th hole pond 👌

The liner layer finished just before the heavy rain 17/5/2022

Revised 16 hole Route

 Due to the additional works which will create a large pond to the Front of the 14th hole, and to the left and beyond the 7th Green. A revised 16hole route is now in operation.

• The only changes are: when you finish playing the7th green  > Play the 8th hole as normal.
• After the 8th Go to the Temp Tee Box (at the 100m marker) on the 15th Fairway, and play to the normal 15th Green
• After that 15th Green Play from the 13th Tee to the normal 13th Green.

Yellow Peril Competition advice

 Yellow Peril Competition Stableford: 

Use Howdidido Playing Handicap & minus domestic cuts from this PH.

• On each hole, two team members play their own white ball for Singles Stableford Scorecard and one plays the "yellow Peril" ball for team Scorecard. If YP player gets 2pts they add that to their own singles scorecard and also on the Team Scorecard.

•   Take "yellow" ball in rotation. Lowest handicap (including domestic Cuts) on first hole: Middle handicap on second hole: Highest handicap on third hole. Keep to this order for the 16 holes. Therefore, the lowest Handicapper plays "yellow" ball six times. 

• If the Yellow ball is lost no more points can be added to Team Score.

A team that completes the full 18 shooting 34pts and returns the yellow ball to changing room would trump a Team that shot 35pts but lost their ball on the 16th hole.
