This month’s FEATURE
ENGLANDGOLF
It was BREAKING NEWS in the June 2012 Newsletter when ENGLANDGOLF announced that the
England Golf - Handicap & Benefit Scheme was extended to Lady members.
This also provides all affilliated golf club members with online access to their handicap, an EG handicap card displaying your unique ID as well as a wide range of discounts, services and special offers.
The key principles in the operation of the system is that each home club member, with a CONGU handicap, is assigned a CDH lifetime ID number. This number will allow other clubs to both confirm the individual’s membership of a golf club as well as their exact playing handicap. This is particularly useful in terms of entry into Open competitions and the increasing number of clubs operating online entries.
To join the programme www.englandgolf.org
This PING Playoffs are taking place over next few weeks. Competition instructions on the playoff, fee and handicap adjustments are on the notice board in the Ladies changing room. Remember your signed cards MUST be presented to Clare who will send them onto PING. Good luck everyone and have fun!
For all those who enjoy a little poetry....A Golf Poem
In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled… Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess
The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.
My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.
It Rules My Mind For Hours On End;
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.
It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry,
And Hate Myself And Want To Die.
It Promises Me A Thing Called Par,
If I Hit It Straight And Far
To Master Such A Tiny Ball,
Should Not Be Very Hard At All.
But My Desires The Ball Refuses,
And Does Exactly As It Chooses.
It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,
And Disappears Before My Eyes.
Often It Will Have A Whim,
To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.
With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,
It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.
Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,
If Only It Would Find The Hole.
It’s Made Me Whimper Like A Pup,
And Swear That I Will Give It Up.
And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,
But The Ball Knows … I’ll Be Back Tomorrow.
