DISQUALIFICATIONS - T Letsebe, T Oliphant, S Sithole

Hi Members!!

The Captain’s Committee after a due consideration has decided to disqualify the following members due to the following reasons.

1. Tshepo Letsebe:

He played of a wrong handicap for both games at Modderfontein and State Mines. His handicap changed on the 1st January 2007 from 5 to 3. But he continued to play of a 5 on both games. He is therefore disqualified for both games. It goes without saying that he will also forfeit the price that he got at State Mines.

2. Tommy Oliphant:

His handicap changed from 18 to 17 on the 15th January 2007. He played of 18 still at State Mines. He is therefore disqualified for the State Mines game.

3. Sipho Sithole:

Currently Sipho does not have a home course and therefore does not have a handicap as he has not yet renewed his membership at Observatory. Our Constitution as well as the Rules do not allow a person to play without a home course and handicap. At least under these circumstances he should have played of a scratch instead he played of a 9. He is therefore disqualified for the State Mines game.

NB: It is our responsibility check our handicaps every time we play. We all know that handicaps are calculated twice a month and can change faster than you think especially if you are playing well.

Best regards,

Pusetso Thomas Qhena

Captain’s Committee.

Hi Members!!

As indicated yesterday during the Players’ Meeting, attached please find an updated Schedule of Games. An extra game has been booked for the 9th December 2007 at Pebble Rock Golf Club in Pretoria.

Best regards,

Pusetso Thomas Qhena

Club Captain.

Captain's Note : NEW YEAR MSG & NEW HANDICAPS UPDATE

Hi Lady & Gentlemen!!

2006 has come and gone. 2007 has just been ashad in. As stated already our 1st game of 2007 is scheduled for the 14th Jan at Modderfontein. I know that most of us played a lot of golf during the festive season and shot very good scores.

Now please those who have not please log those scores and send me your “New Handicaps” for Update Purposes. We all know that as of 31st December 2006 the handicaps have been recalculated and we should most of us be having new handicaps.

For a record, as of the 1st Jan 2007 of which was my Birthday by the way my handicap is a “Solid 3”. AK 47 plays of a “Good 12”. The New Champ, Bra Gard is playing of a “lovely 8”. Pat Nyathi is now a “Weak 9” as I believe he should be playing of a “Dynamic 4”. Peter Ntsoko is also playing of a “Lousy 7” as I strongly think that he should be a “Fantastic 4 or 3”. Bra Moss is still on a “Grumpy 8”, just to name a few. I am sure you all understand and get my drift. Let’s all start the “WHO Year” on the 14th Jan at Modderfontein with correct Handicaps.

Best regards,

PTQ
