Cap'n Long Con Polkinghorne

A big hearty Aaarrgghhh to all you Pirates and welcome to the 2nd Pennants and Scroungers edition of the Chronicle!   

We had both Pennants teams in action this past Saturday. We also fielded a group of 5 scroungers playing Stableford off the blue tees.  

It was good to see Keith Reid back playing golf. It didn’t look like he had missed 6 weeks (see the scroungers results).

​

Pennants and Tee Off Time – IMPORTANT READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE 

This week we have 2 games of pennants at home. There will be a game of scroungers teeing off directly BEFORE the pennant’s competition who tee off at 9am with the second team teeing off around 9.20.

Scroungers will be played off the Blue tees in future unless there is a desire to play off the yellows. The Scroungers can work it out on the day, remember you will have to adjust your handicaps accordingly. 

​

If you wish to play scroungers, please let the rated ARRR President know by 5pm Wednesday. Those participating in scroungers will be playing stableford. Every player pays his or hers $6 and the total pot will be split up as prize money. 

Note – Novelties will be on the course for members. Visiting pennants teams are invited to join in to win the novelties.

Note – during pennants season the birdie and eagles’ nests, members draw, and consistency points will be on hold.
