Wauchope Vets Weekly update 28.09


Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers
 

It is with regret I inform you David Pilley’s wife Dee passed away last night in Wauchope Palliative Care. David is our past Secretary.
David, the Wauchope Vets are  thinking of you at this time of your loss. I will pass on details as they come to me.

Tuesday 30th September is the Wauchope Mens Veterans Foursomes Championships. If you are paired, it is important to think of your partner if thinking about pulling out. Not only does one person pulling out of a foursome leave one player with no competition, but the other players in the foursome with nobody to mark their card. At present there are 9 spots available, 8 of those are 2 groups of 4 and a single spot. For those member who are not familiar with the Foursome format the following should help

“Definition: Foursomes is a competition format in which a team is comprised of two players, and those two golfers alternate hitting the same ball (which is why Foursomes is also very commonly called "alternate shot").

The first player tees off, the second player hits the second shot, the first player hits the third shot, and so on until the ball is holed. Players alternate hitting tee shots so that the same player doesn't hit every drive. ie. player 1 will tee off on holes 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17, player 2 will tee off on holes 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,”

The booking sheet for the Bill Medley Shield at South West Rocks is on the Vets Board at the club or Tuesdays on the front table, it would be good to get a good  attendance to that game. If you would like me to place your name on the list, please return email.
