CAPTAIN’s CORNER
Captain - Grant Smallacombe
It was nice to play some golf this week after the recent rain.
We had 33 players make the trip to Woodford and a good sized field enjoyed the sunshine on Wednesday.
The next Working Bee will be held on the 9th of July – normal meeting place (The Green keepers Shed) at 7.00am. Light duties only, followed by coffee and cake in the club at approx. 10.30am.
All cart drivers need to be reminded that the direction signs on the course need to be observed. If there are no signs, please use common sense, stay away from wet areas, and don’t drive too close to the greens.

HANDICAP ANCHOR
As a result of a change implemented in May 2013 you may have noticed an adjustment to your Handicap Anchor.
Your Anchor handicap is the best exact handicap you have achieved during the 12-month period before your most recent round. When your NEXT round is processed through GOLF Link, the handicap that will be calculated for you will not be permitted to be more than 5 strokes above your current Anchor. This was previously 4 strokes.
The Anchor eliminates the capacity for extreme outward movements of GA Handicaps within short spaces of time.
As a result, a sustained loss of form does not cause a player’s GA Handicap to move too far from a level which is consistent with their underlying ability.
To see your current Anchor Handicap simply sign in to Golf Link using your full Golf Link number (e.g. 41306=Cooroy Golf Club + your 5 digit unique number). Your Anchor Handicap is displayed at the bottom of the list of your last 20 results.
NEW COMMITTEE MEMBER
We are pleased to announce Terry Lyons has joined the committee. Terry has been putting together some pretty good golf results but has been warned that joining the committee usually means your golf goes backwards – still he is committed.
