SINGLES KNOCKOUT: This is getting behind schedule, therefore any ties not completed by 22nd of this month, the Comp Secretary will be tossing coins to decide the outcomes.

PAIRS KNOCKOUT: With no matches played, all hope being lost for this competition being completed this side of Armageddon, it has therefore been decided to cancel the said competition.

PICK AND PLACE: Until the fairways improve, Pick and Place will be allowed. Usual caveats. On fairways ONLY, no nearer the hole and within about six inches, or the length of a Darenth scorecard.

OF SOME CONCERN: Apparently some think that air shots don’t count. Here’s some news: THEY DO!

CAPTAIN’S AWAYDAY: At Upchurch River Valley GC raised a total of £450 for the Captain’s Charity, the RNLI. Brian Dobbs was winner of the Seven Springs Cup. Pictures on HERE now.

EVERY DAY’S A SCHOOL DAY: Learned yesterday, if you accidentally hit your ball in a practice swing, there is no penalty, and the ball is replaced. But here’s the lesson I learned, this only applies on teeing areas and greens. In all other general areas, there is a one stroke penalty, and the ball is replaced on original spot.

Don’t understand the logic of having a different ruling on this for different parts of the course! Keep the rules simple!

LOCAL RULING: With the current extensive damage on the edges of greens where damage ‘on the green’ interferes with play, then relief may be obtained, no nearer the hole, and with line of sight to the hole. Competition Committee decision.

HEREWITH a polite request that should you decide to terminate your membership, would you let the Secretary know, so that records can be kept up to date, many thanks.

KGVL NEW WEBSITE: Now you will be able to keep abreast of all the League results and standings. Go to KGVL page on this site and follow the link.

READY GOLF: Some helpful guidance! An extra thought. Why not carry a spare ball in your pocket for the odd occasion when you may need to play a provisional ball. It’s so frustrating for your fellow players to watch you amble over to your bag, rummage through it, and amble back. Seconds wasted!

KENT CARD: Details of this and anything else relating to KGU can be found on this site via the Kent Golf Union button on the Home page.
