  • Platinum membership (25 years’ continuous membership)  3 x $50 Vouchers
Loyalty Vouchers can be applied to club events in addition to the normal outlets and are not transferrable.
​APPLICATION OF MODEL GOLF RULES
Two model golf rules will apply to the Club Championship Stroke Rounds to assist with the pace of play:
Rule 1 Ball lost or out of bounds: A ball can be dropped at the nearest point on the fairway for a 2 stroke penalty
This option allows the player to drop in a large area between the point where the ball is estimated to have come to rest or gone out of bounds and the edge of the fairway of the hole being played that is not nearer the hole. The player gets two penalty strokes when using this relief option. This Local Rule cannot be used for an unplayable ball, or for a ball that is known or virtually certain to be in a penalty area. If a provisional ball is played and neither the original ball nor the provisional ball can be found, then the Local Rule may be applied for the provisional ball that cannot be found.
Rule 2 Maximum strokes per hole 4 over par: Once a player has played 4 shots over par for that hole, that score can be recorded e.g. 9 on a par 5, 8 on a par 4 and 7 on a par3
  • A player’s score for each hole is capped at a maximum set by the Committee, 4 strokes related to par
  • A player who does not complete a hole (often referred to informally as “picking up”) is not disqualified, but simply gets the maximum score for the hole.
​SPONSOR GOLFING BENEFITS (in addition to advertising & representation benefits)
