Off The Fairway
The men’s and women’s match committees have recently reviewed the local rules and the new rules will be displayed on the back of the new printing of our scorecards and displayed on notice boards, in the pro shop and on the starters box. Of immediate interest to golfers is that from 24 September the distance markers will be changed to red meaning 90m to the pin, white being 135m, and blue measuring 180m from the pin in the centre of the green.
