A junior 9-hole competition will begin this Saturday.
Only 7-day junior members will be able to register and there will be a separate competition button.
Players are asked to book on the booking sheet via the member login. An adult must accompany them either as a player or as their marker.

The competition is stableford and will be played off the ORANGE tees. Only the front nine will be played at this stage and booking towards the end of the competition will assist with flow.

All players should be aware that the juniors are playing off the orange tees. Some of these tees are on the sides of the fairway. Please ensure their safety by not hitting up on them and lead by example with good golf etiquette.

The current COVID restrictions will be eased from midnight tonight (4/8/21)
This means we can have more people in the clubhouse, 1 person per 2 square metres.
We can also commence competitions but these will be dependent on weather and course conditions.
Weather permitting the clubhouse may be open this weekend for reduced hours.
The wearing of face masks is mandatory inside the club house

The major part of the statewide lockdown wil conclude at mignight tonight (27th July 2021)

But, there are a number of restrictions and limitations that will impact the club. These incude:

• Team, club or competitive sports are prohibited, while training and practice at clubs is permitted. Should there be no community transmissions over the next 7 days, then it is anticipated that team, club and competitive sports will again be introduced;
• Indoor and outdoor densities at 1 person per 4m2 (25%). Capacities are based on the size of the club. Eg if a club has an area of 800m2 then 200 patrons (excluding staff) are permitted;
• The consumption of food and beverages is permitted both indoors and outdoors but must be done while seated;
• The wearing of mask indoors is mandatory, unless eating or drinking.edit.

Therefore there will be no competitive golf until at least next Tuesday 3rd August.

And, the course is very wet at the moment. Therfore the clubhouse will not be open tomorrow. When the committee decides to open the clubhouse again, the decsion will be published on the website.

So, members can practice and train but no competitions yet, and wearing of masks is mandatory inside the clubhouse.

The Committee has been advised of a recent instance of vandalism to personal property on the club premises.

Vandalism of any kind is unacceptable and any person found responsible for this behaviour may have their membership revoked along with the relevant authorities notified.

Last Saturday, 6th March was a very special and rare day at Echunga Golf Club

Bill Guy, who determined to win another monthly medal had what can best be described as a big day out.
Playing off +1 he 

• won the A Grade stroke round (64 Nett 65)
  
• won the A Grade putting comp with 23 putts
• won the A Grade monthly medal
• won the Medal of Medals Trophy
• won NTP on 7th, 10th and 17th
• set a new course record of 64

Bill started with a respectable par round of the front 9 (25 off the stick with two bogies, 2 birdies and 5 pars).

But then things got wild - his back 9 of 29 strokes included six (yes 6) birdies and three pars. For an a18 hole score of 64.

A sensational feat and one that had Bill smiling and his playing partners in awe.

We all know he is a good golfer, but that is quite an exceptional round. Make sure you offer you congratulations to Bill next time you see him. Well done!
