The course will be close until 1300 on 7th January 2019 - we are hosting a Veteran's Day.
Most members will be aware that the new Rules of Golf are to commence on January 1st 2019.
There are pamphlets outlining the most significant changes available in the clubhouse as well as new rules of golf booklets. For those with smartphones an app is also available for both Apple and Android phones - just search New Golf Rules or R&A in the appropriate app store. In addition there are plenty of web sites with details and summaries of the new rules. One of these can be found here. Congratulations to all our champions and runners up. Some great golf from all players. Final results were:

Players will be booked into the online booking system, please note that this year tee off will be D, C, B then A grades from 8:30 am. With the match committee looking to change the Club Championships to February / March, in line with our greenstaff preferences and to avoid overlap with our green renovation period and / or a late winter, changes were made to the 2018-19 program to accommodate this.
These changes meant that there would be no Club Championships in October / November this year, rather one in February March 2019. Whilst initially this was seen as acceptable, as there would still be a Championship held during our 2018-19 golf season, the fact that this doesn't align to the calendar year, and subsequently would result in no "2018" Club Champion, it was decided that further alterations were necessary. As a result the following changes have been made to the 2018-19 season program which is now available on the program webpage. These are summarised as follows:
EGC Match Committee UPDATED - 28/8/18
With recent dry weather the course is now quite firm under foot and members will be allowed to use carts on the course. Due to recent rains carts are not allowed on the course as of 20th July 2018. This will continue indefinitely but will be periodically reviewed and updated on the website on our carts page. Members should note that the reciprocal rights agreement with Murray Bridge has been increased to $12 per round. Having been at $10 per round for a number of years it was time that these costs were reviewed and it has been agreed to increase to $12 per round for club members at each course.
We have a fantastic relationship with Murray Bridge where they welcome us to their club, particularly through the winter months, to enjoy their firm and dry course and pure greens and look forward to continue it in the future. These changes commence from 1st July 2018. Members please note, the Thursday competition to be played on 24th May 2018 has been altered to a Stableford competition.
