Dear Members,
Due to the Golf Australia/Miscore updating data, there will be no mobile phone usage for scoring.
We will still have a comp, but you will need to bring $3 cash and use a card for scoring.
Yes we know, just like the old days!!

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.
