COVID - 19 Regional Restrictions
You will no doubt be aware by now that the regional restrictions for COVID - 19 came into effect on Saturday evening at 6 pm and will be in place until Friday the 9th of June. As Kevin's email of Saturday stated:
All hospitality has to be seated - we revert back one person per four square meter rule.
• Only a 50 percent capacity for outdoor events.
• Indoor mask-wearing is mandatory for patrons and employees in all indoor areas except when eating and drinking.
Golf can continue as normal, however, we will not be accepting green fee players or members guests from all of Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, and Wollongong during this period.
As always, we will keep you up to date with any changes to these directives.

Course Update
Golfer Safety - our top priority
We all have an individual responsibility to play the game of golf safely. That means not only considering the safety of other players but also our own safety.
The new path installed from the 8th green to the 9th tee box MUST be used by all players accessing the 9th tee. This eliminates the risk of being hit by a ball played by the group behind you on the 8th hole.
A sign will be installed adjacent to the eight green for players information.

Last Friday's session for novice golfers was a great success. The aim is to get our new members and new golfers confident to play social golf and then competition golf when the time is right. It's all about enjoying the game and having a bit of fun. If you have some time to coach a group - 10:30 Friday's at the first tee.

Pennant Hills Cup
Sunday week ago David Ferguson (HCP 1) had a great round of golf against a very talented field of 80. David played the front nine four under par and the back nine three over to tie for the lead at 1 under 70. Unfortunately David missed out on winning the play off.
Fantastic result and a great representative for Bowral Golf Club.
John Owens 4BBB Knock Out

 | GOLDEN NUGGET 9 A good role up of players for a Winter's day. Winner was Robert James with 19 points and runner up Nick Reinhard with 18 points. It's a great way to finish the week and a good social event around the club house fire. |
Saturday Single Stableford
A solid turnout of seventy players on a wet course, numbers were down due to "no carts". It is always a tough decision to restrict carts for any competition day as a lot of members miss out on the playing the game. Until we get an "all weather cart path" we will have to protect the course from damage. Hopefully we get this "all weather path" in the near future.
Our visitor from Campbelltown Golf Club, Owen Turner was the winner with 35 points and runner up was David Ferguson with 34 points. James Pinkstone won the NTP on the 11th and Paul Barnes took home the proceeds from the PRO PIN.
Monday Madness
This has been extended to eighteen holes and on a cold overcast Bowral winters day Ash Southon won with a respectful 39 points from Nick Reinhard (points not mentioned to minimise embarrassment). You can always ask him how he went.
