NEWS FROM WGV
DELEGATE
WGV Golf Clinic:
On Monday the 29th of March 2010, WGV is
conducting a Club Member Clinic at Victoria Golf Club.
Hello Captains, one and all,
Best wishes for 2010.
This email is to bring you up to date on the
information that I have received from WGV that it
wants captains to be aware of and pass on to club
members.
Course Rating Training:
The Victorian Golf Course Rating Committee (VGCRC)
has drafted dates to come out to country areas
to train course raters under the USGA system.
The proposed dates and locations are as follows:
· February
21 – Ballarat
· February
28 – Warrnambool/Port Fairy
· March
21 – Wangaratta
· May
30 – Sale
· June
6 – Bendigo
· June
20 – Horsham
· July
11 – Mildura
The format will entail one full day’s training
in the clubhouse, followed by rating of 2
courses on the Monday and Tuesday. Those
attending are expected to take on the role of
State Level Course Rater and must attend the
Monday and Tuesday rating sessions as well as
the Sunday training.
Please also get the word around that WGV and the
VGA will be calling for raters in the New Year
and we will advise how people can sign up in due
course. Given WGV’s districts do not align to
the VGA’s we expect the rating to be done in
‘areas’ rather than on a district by district
basis. I.e. some women will rate courses outside
their district (and the same for men).
Pre-course rating:
Your club has received a document dated November
30 which has to be returned to either WGV or VGA
by July 1 2010. A similar earlier document had
to be returned by October this year. If your
club has done this then it does not have to
return this later form. WGV suggests that all
clubs ask for two courses to be rated for
women's events. If you wish to get more
information from WGV about which tees will be
rated then contact Louise MacDonald, the Golf
Manager, by email: louise@womensgolf.org.au
On the form is listed the information that you
have to supply to the raters.
Australian Women's Open:
Please let your golfers know that there are
spaces on the volunteers list for the Women's
Australian Open at Commonwealth March 12 - 15
2010. All information is on the WGV website.
If you would like to experience Commonwealth, a
championship course in tournament condition,
just four weeks prior to hosting the event then
an Open Day will be held there on February 15
2010. An
entry form is attached.
Regards
Marcia
