New Club Policy On Returning Scorecards |
|
Sunday, 23 May 2010 |
|
With the introduction of the new handicapping system, the Match Committee has formulated a policy on returning scorecards. The policy can be read by clicking here.
The point we wish to emphasise is that a player should ALWAYS return their scorecard following their round. This is regardless of whether all holes were completed. By not submitting a card, the Club is unable to determine how well or how badly the member played. Thanks for your cooperation.

2010 Pennants Wrap - Mixed Fortunes For Virginia |
|
Sunday, 23 May 2010 |
 |
It's been tough going for Virginia in this year's BDGA pennant season. With just one win from 6 games, the team finished last in Division 2. In 2011, Virginia will face McLeod, Nudgee and Brisbane in the lower division.
A huge thanks goes to all the caddies and supporters who helped throughout the season. You can view a few photos from our first round match against Wynnum by clicking here.
On a brighter note, the weekend ladies team finished off an incredible undefeated season. There were plenty of close contests but the Virginia ladies showed their class under pressure. Their results can be viewed by clicking here.
