\"Red<\/h4>\n
\n

Welcome to the May edition of the News from the Red Tees.\u00a0 Since the last edition we\u2019ve enjoyed Easter festivities, survived another lock down, rain, rain and more rain.\u00a0 Wet weather causing course closures is a Captain\u2019s nightmare with events needing to be rescheduled into an already packed calendar and, needless to say, a lot of extra work for our groundsmen who do such a wonderful job in getting the course back to its absolute best.\u00a0 There\u2019s plenty of golf ahead with the 54 hole event, Club Championships and the start of pennant season.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to a run of perfect golfing conditions!<\/p>\n

Plenty to chat about this month, grab a cup of the good stuff and settle in for a read about all things, ladies golf at BGC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ladies President’s Note<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my Opening Day address, I discussed the three values (taken from Australia Day celebrations) that I felt were important for this 125th<\/sup>\u00a0year of the Brisbane golf club, and they were to reflect, respect and celebrate. \u00a0Just recently I have been reminded of one of those celebratory items at the Brisbane golf club, and that is the strong sense of community amongst our members. \u00a0This year some of our members have been busy organising successful social groups such as the Ladies Senior Golf days (organised by Liz McReynolds), and the Mahjong players (organised by Vivienne Cassidy and Vicky McDonald). \u00a0These additional activities\u00a0in our club are creating such an exciting buzz and are an excellent addition to the club community.<\/p>\n

The other example of community has been the extraordinary support displayed to some of our members going through difficult times. \u00a0This support has been extended in many forms such as gifts, flowers, and often just a simple phone call to let them know they are being remembered.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of our members who have contributed to this strong sense of community.<\/p>\n

We have a very busy calendar ahead for the next couple of months with Pennants, Club Championships and Guest Days. \u00a0Good luck to everyone involved and thank you to all of the volunteers who assist in making these days a great success.<\/p>\n

Happy golfing.<\/p>\n

New Irrigation System<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

The irrigation project was again \u00a0impacted by wet weather experienced during the month. \u00a0We are pleased to advise that irrigation has been installed on Hole 4 and 5, and at the time of writing this report, Hole 6 was being completed. \u00a0Over the next four weeks we will be working on Hole 3, 7, 2 and 8. \u00a0Unfortunately due to wet weather delays we are approximately 4 weeks behind schedule. \u00a0Members are reminded to keep safe when walking a hole that is being worked on. \u00a0Please keep away from the work zones and follow the direction of our course staff.<\/p>\n

Weekly updates on our irrigation are published and distributed via the Golf Shop. Please don\u2019t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MiScore App<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

During our April Monthly Medal lunch in the Tennyson Room, Jacki from MiScore shared a presentation of the many interesting features of the MiScore application.\u00a0 A copy of Jacki\u2019s presentation was circulated to the ladies membership via email in April.<\/p>\n

In addition to the features contained in Jacki\u2019s presentation booklet, Jacki demonstrated on her phone (connected to the big screen) some additional features, including a powerful and accurate, location and measuring feature encompassing an aerial view of the hole with the ability to measure from tee to hazard (or any other chosen point) to green. \u00a0We now have a slide (no. 16) for this feature. Click here<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to view the updated presentation booklet.<\/p>\n

We have invited Jacki back for another follow up presentation at our monthly medal luncheon and we will confirm the date nearer to the time.\u00a0 In the meantime, please keep in mind any features\/questions you would like her to cover.<\/p>\n

Remember that the MiScore app automatically applies the shots to holes for your handicap. You can view the index of a hole in the app by clicking on the box labelled SHOTS (next to the PAR button).\u00a0 Another good reason to make the switch from scorecards to the MiScore App.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top Tip for using the MiScore App<\/strong> – purchase a portable pocket phone charger.\u00a0 From as little as $20-odd you will never have an excuse or the inconvenience of your phone battery running on red.<\/p>\n

Matt Winkley, Exercise Physiologist & Gennai Goodwin, Exercise Physiologist\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Matt Winkley from WinkFit has teamed up with professional golfer and exercise physiologist, Gennai Goodwin. \u00a0Some of you may remember Gennai from her days training with the QAS Squad at The Brisbane Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Together Matt and Gennai have\u00a0created a programme specifically for lady golfers called \u201cGolfCore\u201d.\u00a0 At its centre GolfCore is a mixture of all the best bits of mobility, pilates and yoga together with bodyweight and band strength work to improve the athleticism.<\/p>\n

Weekly 1-hour sessions with Gennai are scheduled to start the week of Monday, 10 May and each week there will be tweaks to the programme to keep it fresh and interesting.\u00a0 Ladies need to bring their own yoga mats and water bottle but other than that, Winkfit will supply any other equipment needed. \u00a0Timetable, booking and payment details will be circulated by Matt and Gennai from Winkfit as soon as they have been finalised.<\/p>\n

The classes will be held in the Tennyson Room and are designed to be inclusive with size, shape, fitness, age and ability not limiting participation. If you haven\u2019t already signed up for a class, you can join at any time by emailing Gennai –\u00a0winkfit@winkfit.com.au<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get strong and fit, so we can hit them long and straight!<\/p>\n

Ladies,<\/p>\n

Well, what a month it has been, first with plenty of rain, and then a Covid Lock Down, which have played havoc with our mid-week golfing calendar.\u00a0 At least we were able to celebrate Easter.<\/p>\n

Please keep an eye on the board in the entrance of the Ladies Locker Room, as it is being used to inform you of any upcoming events and rescheduling of events where required, and anything else that is deemed important.<\/p>\n

Our monthly medal and honour board event results are listed below.\u00a0 Well done to all the winners. \u00a0It is noted with great interest that our midweek monthly medal winners all had nett scores less than 70.<\/p>\n

The first round of the 54 hole event will be played in conjunction with a Monthly Medal on Tuesday 4 May, the second round on Thursday 6 May, and the final round on Tuesday 8 May.\u00a0 It is important to note that these 3 rounds will also be used towards our annual putting competition, so please remember to record your putts. \u00a0At this stage, cards will be used to score, as we are still learning about the finer points of using the Mi-Score app to score putts.<\/p>\n

The BDLGA, has started a new competition to reward its Member Clubs. \u00a0The competition runs from May to October, where the 3 lowest nett scores in a Monthly Medal need to be forwarded to the BDLGA, and the only limitation is that each player can only have one score submitted per month.\u00a0 The first three winning clubs will share a cash prize of $1000!\u00a0So, all you have to do, is perform really well during Monthly Medal rounds, and the rest will be up to Helen, who will need to submit your scores.<\/p>\n

The Match Committee has managed to grant the wishes of a number of players, to include a number of 4BBB competitions on a Thursday. \u00a0The first one being on the 29 April.\u00a0 Please check the Notice Board in the Locker Room, and also the electronic diary for all future dates.<\/p>\n

A reminder, that if you need further clarification on using the \u201csplit-index\u201d system when scoring on paper cards, it can be found on the notice board in the locker room.<\/p>\n

If you are a competition winner and have not received your prize, please see me for collection.<\/p>\n

Helen will be on deck for the next Captain\u2019s corner\u2026 right now she is taking time out to deal with a recent bereavement in her family, and I\u00a0would like to take this time to send our good wishes to her and her family in this difficult time.<\/p>\n
