WEDNESDAY NIGHT PLAY

Until further notice, play will start on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. instead of 6.30 p.m.

Golf Croquet Tournament

We are organising a golf croquet tournament for members on Sunday 21st February 9.30 a.m. onwards - play will continue at night if required - and Wednesday and Thursday evenings 24th and 25th February from 6.30 p.m. onwards.

There will be round-robin play in blocks, then a knockout round (probably semi-finals and finals).
These will be best of 3 games, 13 point (i.e. first to 7 hoops wins). There will be a time-limit of 45 minutes for all games.

The tournament will be played with bisques. We are devising a system for assigning handicaps to new players based on AC skills.

Golf croquet AHS cards will NOT be used for this event.

Entry cost: $7 (includes sandwiches on Sunday.)

Cammeray Summertime Tournament

This tournament will run on Tuesday evenings during daylight saving time, and is aimed at encouraging silver and bronze players to take part in 26-point handicap events at Cammeray. Numbers will be limited to 8 per evening, and games will be played using AHS handicap cards, with the results having an effect on players’ index numbers. It is hoped to hold the first such evening on Tuesday 27 October 2009, subject to the lawns being available after top dressing. Games will start at 7 pm and conclude at 9:30 pm, with wine and cheese from 6:30 pm. Cost will be green fees plus $2 to cover the cost of a prize to the winner at the end of the summer plus an optional $3 for wine and cheese.
Bookings will be made via the Members/Guests page on the club’s website (www.cammeray-croquet.org.au). If you haven’t made use of this page before, you will need to get a password from the club by following the instructions at the top of the page.
The tournament will be Full Bisque Handicap Play (see Laws of Association Croquet, Appendix 3) with a base handicap of 11, using 2/3rds of the bisques to allow for the time limit. In a game between a 16-handicapper and a 20-handicapper, bisques would be 3.5 and 6 respectively. In games involving one or more players on 11 or less, 2/3rds of normal bisques would apply.
