Programme for

2018CLUB HISTORY

The Club began playing at a 12-hole golf course on privately owned land in Mentone (near the old race course) called “Braeside”. The Club was originally named “Springfield”. The private property was sold in 1953, and as a consequence the club was disbanded. In 1954 the new owners made the golf course available again to the club; it was reformed and renamed “Mentone Golf Club”. At this time there were approximately 50 lady members.The first President of Mentone Golf Club was Mrs Hope Lemmon, who later became a Life Member of the Victorian Women’s Golf League.To help establish the Club, a loan of £25 was accepted from the men’s committee. At this time there was a strong association with the men’s committee, with monthly social dances organised as well as mixed foursomes competitions.In 1960 ‘Braeside’ was sold and the golf course was closed. As a consequence the club decided to move to its current location, Sandringham Golf Course. The President at this time was Mrs Hazel Edmonds, who along with the Committee, steered the club through challenging times and laid strong foundations for growth and financial stability. The club has grown considerably since then and now has more than 110 members.Mentone Golf Club has produced five VWGL Champion of Champions; won the VWGL “A” Grade Pennant flag in 1984 and the “D” Grade Pennant flag in 2001.The Club has a strong ethos of charity and has for more than 50 years donated the proceeds of its charity day to Inclusion Melbourne (formerly Gawith Villa).

To date more than $140,000 has been donated to Inclusion to assist with its programs of supporting individuals with an intellectual disability.

HANDICAPPING SYSTEMThe player is personally responsible for ascertaining her correct handicap. To obtain individual handicap, log on to www.golf.org.au and enter Golflink number. Handicaps will also be displayed on the Handicap Board at her home club or confirmation can be provided from her Handicap Manager prior to playing. A player shall have one GA handicap only and this shall be allotted by her Home Club.*Remember to put Stableford points on the card on days when stroke is played.

Four Ball Better Ball ScoresA score of at least 42 Stableford Points, plus 6 in Par or net 6 under in stroke events must be used for handicapping, but only for the reduction of a player’s handicap. The player’s score must appear at least 9 times on the card.

HEAT POLICYMentone Golf Club Inc has an obligation to act responsibly when managing events and activities, each one to be assessed on a case by case basis. These guidelines have been formulated to minimize the risk of injury, illness and possible death as a result of activity undertaken in hot weather.Mentone Golf Club Inc assumes no responsibility for any medical situation in relation to a competitor and recommends that those with a pre-existing medical/physical condition consult a Medical Practitioner. All decisions whether to suspend, modify or cancel a competition will be made by the incumbent Match Committee. If, at least one hour prior to the competition, the conditions are such that it may reach a potentially dangerous situation, the Match Committee may take the following action:• If the weather at 7.00am is predicted to be 37 degrees or more, the competition may be reduced to

9 holes and will be Stableford.Any competitor who completes 18 holes will be scored on the first 9 holes.

• On days that the temperature is expected to reach 40 degrees or more, play may be cancelled in the interests of the welfare of the competitors.

• If a medal day is reduced to 9 holes, then the medal for that month will be postponed to a later date.

HEAT STRATEGY• Check the forecast weather conditions prior to teeing off.• Actively re-hydrate before, during and after play.• Apply sunscreen before and during play.• Wear suitable light clothing and head covering –

wide-brimmed hat / visor / and use an umbrella.• Withdraw from the competition if the competitor is in doubt of their physical condition to be able to

complete the round in a healthy condition.

LIGHTNING POLICY Members should be aware that the Club does not have a formal warning siren system in the event of lightning in the course area. When electrical storm activity is present, members should take all necessary precautions to avoid a lightning strike.• DO Stand in safe locations such as substantial buildings.

If out in the open, find low ground or under thick growth or bushes

• DO NOTStand under trees or near water or have unnecessary contact with steel or metal products.

SLOW PLAY

As per Rule 6-7 each group must maintain its position on the course with respect to the group preceding them. Any group with a clear hole in front of them will be considered out of position.Slow play effects the enjoyment of the game for many players, so please:• Keep up with the group in front• Be ready - select club and ball while other players are having their shots• Always mark your card after you have left the green.• Practice swings – no more than one• Lost Ball – if holding up play, call following group through• Pick up if unable to score• Always place your buggy adjacent to the approach to the next tee• Hurry to your ball but don’t hurry your shot• Play ‘ready golf’

GOLF ETIQUETTE• Don’t talk or distract a player when she is playing a stroke• Be patient, tactful and pleasant. Endeavour to assist those not as knowledgeable as yourself in the

game• Carry and use a sand bucket at all times and repair divots • Rake all marks left in a bunker before leaving• Repair any pitch marks on the green• Give way to ground staff• Remember that you are not the only one playing golf – others don’t need a commentary of your

game
