Eligibility to play 2020 Championships

Hi Members,

This is to advise members of the eligibility requirements to participate in this year`s championships at Gordonvale GC in August.

The 2 elements required are;
1.  Must be a financial member for at least 2 months and
2.  Must have played at least 3 events this year.

However, the Committee have decided to remove the 2 months membership caveat due to the fact that we have missed the past 4 months of play because of COVID-19.

The 3 game eligibility requirement is still required as there has been 4 games already this year and there are still 3 games available to play prior to the championships in August for members to meet the eligibility requirements.

Members who do not meet this criteria are still permitted to participate in the championships and play in the comp of the day but not able to win the honour board event.

If further clarification is required please do not hesitate to call.

Regards

The loss of one of our members

Today I am the bearer of some very sad news, Brian Rowan, one of our long time members passed away last Thursday from the dreaded cancer. Brian`s smiling face will be missed at all future Vets games and members still talk about the time he hit 54 stableford points which not many players have or will ever achieve.

Brian`s funeral will be held at St Monicas Cathedral next Monday 29 June at 10am for those able to attend. From the Committee and all members, our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
