Club Championships / Gents A Grade & Women’s Championship
We have once again been forced to look at a revised format for this year’s Gents and Women’s Club Championships. Changes to scheduled events, particularly, multi-round events are always problematic, and we recognise the likelihood that some members may be adversely impacted by this decision, however It is a club priority to complete the Championships.
We plan to play the 2nd and Final Rounds of the Gents A Grade Championship over the weekend of April 26th & 27th. All scores either completed or non-completed, from Saturday 12th of April have been cancelled. For Saturday 26th of April those players who had previously elected for an AM / PM tee time, you will remain in these blocks.
The club has been in contact with Golf Australia and has been advised of the following. With respect to those players who were previously unavailable to play on Saturday the 12th of April, but are now able to play at the rescheduled date, will not be permitted to rejoin the Championships as this round had officially commenced. This is also the case for any player who elected not to return to the course after play had resumed, once the suspension of play had been lifted.
Any players who are unavailable to participate on the revised dates are asked, are to contact Peter Zealley at peterz@keperragolf.com.au and not remove their name from the timesheet.
As previously communicated prior to the incompleted 2nd round on Saturday the 12th of April, the A Grade Matchplay qualification will be determined over 36 holes (after Saturday 26th April), with the top 16 gross scores in each grade to qualify. The Golf Australia Countback System (if required) will decide all ties. Saturday 26th April will also see the conclusion of the Seniors, Veterans and Junior Gross; and the Nett event.
The Final Round will be played on Sunday 27th April commencing at approximately 10:15am on the Old Course. There will be a 36-hole cut in the Gents A Grade, a maximum of 20 players (gross scores), players will be given the option to play the final round. (no obligation) In the event of a tie, a playoff will decide the winner, as determined by the Golf Operations Team.
As the Women’s Championship have completed 36 holes already the Final Round will be played on Sunday 27th April, commencing at approximately 10:15am.
