Sheryn was also awarded her VGL LIfe Membership Plaque and Medal following a lovely speech from VGL President Peter Frost,  VGL Life Membership ensures free entry for Sheryn to all VGL Golf events.

Alteration to Sand Bunker Local Rule : Lift, Rake and Replace

The match committee has adopted the local rule for “Lift, Rake and Replace” that will come into effect from Thursday 28/8/2025.

This means that all players will be able to lift their ball in a bunker, rake the sand underneath, and place the ball back exactly where it was. In cases where a ball has plugged in the face of a bunker you are still entitled to relief and must apply enough pressure to the ball to have it remain in place where it originally came to rest. Players are NOT permitted to clean their ball when lifting it under this local rule.

A handspan relief in bunkers is no longer allowed.

Regards

The Match Committee

 

Tap and Pay update

The Tap and Play system is now in full operation for all competitions after the smooth transition from cash to Tap & Play from 16th Aug. 2025. We thank members for their positive feedback. We are aware of a minor issue of duplicate email receipts for each payment transaction. The issue has been reported to MiClub support team who have been working to resolve this. Members can be assured payments are not duplicated as their bank / card transaction records will clearly indicate that only 1 payment has been recorded.

Coming Soon!

MiClub Tap and pay.

Our MiClub system will be upgraded to a Tap and Pay system when registering for a competition. MiClub will notify us when the system is ready to be implemented.

Members will only be charged $3 as the club will pay the 1.6% transaction fee.  When you sign in for your competition, a similar screen will appear with a $3 competition fee.

Touch/Click on the REGISTER AND PAY button as indicated by the arrow. Tap your card (or NFC phone payment) and wait for confirmation of payment.

 A hand holding a credit card and a credit card AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Members will NOT be able to register for a competition without tapping successfully for payment. Any member can Tap and Pay for another member so if you do not have a card, register with your buddy and pay him/her the $3.

Detailed instructions will be published when the Tap and Pay system goes live.

The Committee.

 

Men’s Club Championships

The first round of the Men’s Club Championships commences this Saturday (5 October) and runs for four consecutive weeks, with the final round being played on 26 October 2024.

Veteran’s Division

In past years, we have asked the members who qualify for the Veteran’s division of the Club Championships (those 60 years and over) to use a scorecard marked with a red sticker so that those in the division can be easily identified for scoring purposes.

However, as many of our members have now transitioned to scoring using the MiScore App on their phones, this will no longer be possible.  Whilst we have most (but not all) members’ date of birth in our records, the system cannot automatically calculate the Veteran’s leaderboard by means of the date of birth.

Therefore, to ensure that all veterans are identified, we will place a list at the registration kiosk and ask that all members that qualify for the Veteran’s division write their name and Golflink number on the list when they register for the competition on Saturday morning.

Top Eight

As we successfully trialled last year, from Round 2 of the Championships, the top eight players will be group together (in two groups of four).  This creates great excitement and pressure in the battle for the crown.

The booking sheets for rounds 2, 3 and 4 will have eight spots reserved for this purpose.

Please make your booking as usual, and you will then be notified if you are moved into one of the reserved positions as a top eight player.

If you have any questions in this regard, please speak to Club Captain, Gerard MacIsaac.
