Month: May 2021

Friendly Matches are a key component of our Annual Competition Programme, as much for the social aspect as the golf.

The Friendly Fixtures have obviously been affected by that little virus out of Wuhan over the last couple of years but we are now about to resume the programme and maybe try to rearrange the fixtures lost during the early part of this season.

Fixtures confirmed are as follows:

16^th June (Wednesday) – Magdalene Fields – H – Meet 9.00 for 9.30

23^rd June (Wednesday) – Warkworth – A – Meet 9.00 for 9.30

My intention has always been to get as many people as possible taking part so, please,  seriously consider taking part in one of these and get your name down – either on the sheet in the locker-room or email  me captain@burghamparkseniors.co.uk and I will try and get as many of you involved as possible.

If I can’t fit you in for a particular match I’ll make sure that you get a game the next time you are available.

I hope within the next couple of weeks to be able to confirm the remaining Friendly Fixtures for the season.

Regards

Paul Thornton

Gents,

A few items for your information.

1. From 1^st June 2021 we will revert to paying out 80% of competition entry fees as the prize pot with the other 20% being retained for Section funds (i.e. subsidizing events such as away days and Xmas lunch etc).
2. For clarification when you sign in to a competition your playing handicap is shown on the screen, it is in with your WHS index and Course handicap but it is only the playing handicap that needs to be recorded on the card. Remember your playing handicap may change if the comp is off the white tees. The WHS index is updated automatically in the system after each competition.
3. Score entry. Please note the deadline for entering competition scores into the system is 4.00 p.m. which is more than enough time to comply with the requirement to promptly return scores on completion of your round (Rule 3.3b).
4. Finally, with the Senior’s Open and Invitation days coming up in June any donations for Raffle prizes will be gratefully received by any Committee member.

We currently have 2 two man teams in the above event so I am posting this to ask if anyone else wants to play in this event. I am looking for 2 more entrants which will make my life much easier in trying to sort out the winning team. 

If you want to enter please either go to the booking page in Club V1/HDID or email myself and I will add your name in for you.
