Predator Free Update
|
July recorded a smaller month with 9 kills recorded, so we must be having an effect. There has been a significant amount of pellets from the bait stations taken out which is obviously adding to the kill result. Heather & Rupert Gregory topped this month with two of the nine kills from their trap, for a total of 7 to date. Results to end of July 2019 are: Trap | Name | Total | 46 | Arthur Ormond | 8 | 13 | Sue & Murray McNae | 7 | 27 | Heather & Rupert Gregory | 7 | 17 | Deb Hewitt | 6 | 33 | Bernadette & Bob Bishop | 6 | 14 | Alistair Holder | 5 | 34 | Philippa Cook | 5 | 53 | Peter Clayton | 4 | 1 | Ian Shears | 4 | 15 | Justin Campbell | 3 | 16 | Brett & Shelley Allan | 3 | 32 | Robyn & Graeme Bell | 3 | 23 | Claire Turner | 3 | 28 | T, R, M & P Ormond | 3 | 4 | Mike Harris | 3 | 31 | Shaun Driscoll | 3 | 2 | Phil Teague | 2 | 12 | John Stace | 2 | 19 | Rodney Williams | 2 | 30 | Greg Driscoll | 2 | 54 | Mick Ormond | 2 | 21 | Richard Watson | 1 | 25 | Alison Forsyth/Jo Allen | 1 | 49 | Lynne Roberts & Wayne Yule | 1 | 50 | Duncan Priest | 1 | 26 | Julie Connolly | 1 | 6 | Di Bolton/Barbara Griffiths | 1 | 8 | Margaret & Barry Musson | 1 | 10 | Russell Farmery | 1 | 43 | Paul & Victoria Williams | 1 | 38 | Murray & Jane Ravenscroft | 1 | 52 | Guy Turner | 1 | |

NZ Golf Updates
|
A couple of updates received from NZ Golf recently that may be of interest to members. New Zealand Golf takes flight with The Loop Duty Free NZG has recently partnered with The Loop Duty Free New Zealand. It's well known that golfers love to travel, and The Loop is set to enhance that experience. NZG members will receive exclusive benefits such as pre-booked whiskey or wine tastings, beauty experiences in-store at Auckland International Airport prior to travel, and the ability to pre-purchase duty-free product before arriving at the airport for convenient pick-up. A great way to get your next trip off to a flying start. For an overview of the experiences and to book your spot click here New World Handicap System As we lead up to the introduction of the world handicap system (WHS) we would like to educate clubs and members on the system. We are fortunate that the basis of the new system is modeled on what we currently use. The main differences from what is used today are: - The best 8 of our most recent 20 scores will be used to calculate a handicap index.
- A cap will be introduced in two stages. The daily calculation will identify the best handicap index we have attained in the last 12 months, with the maximum we can move out being 5.0. Once the calculation reaches over 3.0 higher there is a softer calculation to control the outward movement.
- For exceptional scores, 7 strokes better than the current handicap index, a reduction of one applies after the usual calculation for the next 20 rounds.
- For exceptional scores, 10 strokes better than the current handicap index, a reduction of two applies after the usual calculation for the next 20 rounds.
- A Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC) could lower a course rating on the day by one stroke or increase by up to three strokes.
- Handicap indices will be updated daily.
Updates and education on the WHS will be posted on the NZ Golf website later in 2019. |
