…and that’s another Hump done and dusted!
Did you wash your hands after or before shaking hands?

Due to current State of Emergency re CoVID 19 will this event be postponed?
Just because I am doing a lot of work on this at the moment in a work context, here are my thoughts.
We will be asking that anyone who is showing any respiratory symptoms or fever elect not to participate. We have a healthy emergency list so even if you make this call very late you will likely not lose your dough. If you are subject to an authority imposed self isolation order (ie international travel within 14 days or exposure to confirmed case), then we may be able to cover your fees from our reserves even if we can’t get someone to replace you .
We recommend that players avoid shaking hands or engaging in other physical contact during the round and maintain sensible distances (1.5M plus) while on the course. If you are in a risk category, you might not wish to hang around for a meal afterwards, but that is your call.
Updates as developments require.

Good news is who ever is in Mick’s group will usually be at least 50m away from him as he looks for his ball miles away from where it went into the shit to begin with
third time Mick
Good thing is that I can cancel at any time if great bargains pop up
It’s also possible that if the shackles come off in Oz but international travel remains risky that people will flood out for holidays locally and prices will head up so we will see
Easy to cancel if I need to
I think we are still adjusting to the new “norm” and live will continue on. Air travel is still relatively safe, though depends on who you sit next too. Take a window seat is the safest sport but dont lick the glass!
People will want to get out as safe as possible and will travel locally.
I booked accom at Chateau Elan at the Vintage – was cheaper but also allowed for cancellation up to a few days before if I need it
Only 5 minutes from the dinner venue
Tossing up whether to drive down – will save a tonne
Thanks love to hear what you were able to get? Prices will most likely go down though as others have mentioned. We will have to see where things are in a couple of months and decide then.
Wow, what a different topic. Not that I mind, I’m ‘working’ from home with this virus thing going mad.
15 started at the local shopping centre pushing trolleys.
Moved my way up through packing groceries, yes into paper bags. Onto the fruit & Veg section.
Finished Yr 12 to start an apprenticeship in Sheetmetal Engineering. Travelled for 18mths, came back worked a few random jobs in sheetmetal, then went back to buy into the business I did completed apprenticeship.
Working 10-12hr days, 6 days a week, for 12yrs, trying to study towards a WH&S Diploma, took a toll on marriage.
Sold up business, separated, took a step back.
Started a new job after a few mths as a Maintenance Supervisor with DEXUS in shopping centre.
WIth no opportunity to advance I moved to Mackay, 41/2hrs Sth of Townsville. Took up a role as an Operations Manager with Colonial First State. After 3yrs in Mackay, the business merged and I was made redundant.
The move to Brisbane over 4yrs ago had me start an Ops Mgr role with Shayher Group. Have since moved into a Snr role and hopefully this is where my journey will end…in a few more years yet I hope.And 16 more posts to qualify for nationals enabling you to win it! We are watching you very closely;)

I played at Barnbougle last year and was surprised to find that they had 4 tee positions that were allocated to you on the basis of handicap. The lower your handicap, the further back you tee off from. As a 20 + handicapper then I thought it was a good idea until I found that now my drives were now in putting me in range of the fairway bunkers. I had a good game and enjoyed the experience, thinking that this must be what it feels to be a good golfer who can hit 250 m plus drives and then hit high lofted clubs into greens.
Most clubs I play at have Mens, Ladies and green fee paying golfer tees. I was talking with Bogey Golfer last week and he mentioned that his club is going to trial the tee positions according to handicap. I wondered what the pros and cons would be.
Just to see what it was like laying off the front ( red) tees at our club I played a practice game today using the red tees. What I found was on some holes it didn’t make a lot of difference, but on others there were advantages. The dog leg holes where I could not hit over the bend reliably, I had to use shorter clubs than usual to get to the bend. The straighter holes I ended up hitting to the green with higher lofted clubs and reduced my score.
One downside I thought of is that the pace of play might be adversely affected, while players mover out of the way of the back markers while they drive, then move into position for their turn. It might also skew results in favour of higher handicap players for a while, as they can score better being in range with scoring clubs a little sooner. Their handicap would drop fairly quickly and then they would be relegated to the next tee position ( towards the rear).
The upside I think would be to increase the enjoyment of the game by those players who have either lost distance as they aged, or never had it in the first place. Also leaners might be more encouraged to join in competitions earlier, if they saw a handicap system helping them on the course, as well as in the scoring system.
What do you think?
Gender-neutral tees are the go and its why we have a slope rating system in place (theoretically).
Let people play (male/female) from whichever tee and adjust handicap accordingly. Play the tee for your handicap level and enjoy the round.
