Well done, Dee Dee

Dee Dee Russell, one our very talented Junior girls competed in the QLD State School Golf Championships held in Toowoomba recently. The event was held over 4 days and the conditions were cold and wet. But despite this, Dee Dee won the event and is now the QLD School Girls Champion.

DeeDee has been invited to play as a member of the Queensland School Sport Golf Team at the Australian School Championships in Perth at the end of August.

We all wish her well in her golfing endeavours.

Ladies Foursomes Championships

The Ladies foursomes got under way today with all grades playing the River course which was a good idea as the course is in excellent condition and received a lot of compliments from the GCDGA Seniors yesterday.  Fortunately the mornings drizzle cleared to a fine sunny afternoon.  Watch this space for all the scores.

Finally a beautiful sunny day for golf.......

It is perfect weather for the 105 competitors in the 1st round of the GCDGA Senior Amateur event today. The tournament concludes with the 2nd round at Lakelands tomorrow.

LADIES FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIP

Ladies

Due to all the wet weather it is very unlikely that buggies will be allowed on the West course on Tuesday so the decision has been taken to transfer all players to the River.  

Divisions 1 and 2 will play 1 – 18 River then 10 to 18 River.   Division 3 will play 10 to 18 River then 1 – 18 River. 

Division 3 times will now start at 7am

Good luck everyone

Ladies Captain

GCDGA INTERCLUB PENNANT IS CANCELLED

Unfortunately Pennant is cancelled tomorrow (Sunday 15th July) due to the West course deemed unplayable following continuous rain and more predicted.

Monday 16th July - Members Competition

Please note the members competition is on the West course so please check the website early on Monday morning to see if there are buggies allowed or not.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS CANCELLED TOMORROW

After great deliberation between the Match committee and the Course Superintendent it is with regret the 3rd round of the Club Championships has been cancelled as the West course is deemed unfit for competition play. The tournament will be reduced to a 54 hole event with the Final on next Saturday, 21st July as scheduled.

A seeded draw for the Final will be on the West course timesheet by tomorrow afternoon (Sat 14th July).

No buggies today.....

Unfortunately after continuous rain yesterday and into the evening there are no buggies on either course today. The 3rd Round of the Club Champs is scheduled for the West course tomorrow but a review of the course and weather forecast will take place today with any changes announced soon thereafter.

GOLF QLD NEWSLETTER

NEWSLETTER ATTACHED - CLICK HERE

Today's sponsor - "The Doctors"

The Doctors were planning to sponsor the 4BBB event on the River course today but due to the weather it has been postponed to a later date. The River course today is now a single stableford event.

And the rain continues.......

There are not many players out on the courses this morning due to that persistant light rain. Please be aware there are no buggies on the West course as previously mentioned but buggies are allowed on the River course today for the Men's competition, if you are feeling adventurous!

No West Buggies

At tonight’s Golf Management Meeting it was decided to make the call to have NO motorised buggies on the West course for the rest of this week – Wednesday July 11, Thursday July 12 and Friday July 13. The course is exceptionally wet and there is already significant damage from buggies, both motorised and walking and at this time of year there is virtually no scope for turf recovery. The forecast is also for a 90% chance of 10 – 15 mm on both Thursday and Friday, and unfortunately that weather website has been very accurate of late.

The call on motorised buggies status on the River course will still be made on a day to day basis with the Club website being updated by 5.30am daily.

And leading Club Championship Nett scores after the 2nd round are......

A Grade
Rod Dale 140
Scott Jolly 141
Mark Stephen 143

Sadly Aileen Rule passed away last night. Aileen, although not a golfer in recent years she was part of the golfing community of Coolangatta Tweed and regularly stopped in for a drink or two in the Members Lounge on Wednesday and Saturdays. Our sympathies go out to her family and friends, no funeral arrangements are known at this stage.

Go Scott

Hopefully our post last week spurred Scott Gardiner on as he had another tie for 4th in the latest Web.com tournament at the Victoria National GC in Indiana.  With temperatures hovering over the 100 degrees mark each day and in fact reaching 105 on the Saturday Scott was able to navigate his way around this tough Tom Fazio designed course that one day hopes to host a US Open.  Scott stormed home with a final day best round bogey free 6 under 66 to finish 2 shots behind the winner.  Most importantly the effort also moved Scott up to 22 on "The 25" money winners list.

Volunteers for Week of Golf

This year the Week of Golf runs from Monday 30th July to Friday 3rd August and tournament organisers are seeking volunteers to assist on the course in a number of areas as has been done for many years. If you can give a few hours of your time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday it would be most welcome (morning or afternoon), response in the past has been terrific so please lend a hand to ensure this great event is again the best Week of Golf in the state. There will be a sheet up in the members lounge from this Thursday to record your name and time that suits best.
