Hi Members

Well here we go again, Wellington is in Alert Level 2 until midnight Friday at least. So, for those of you who can’t recall the details of what that means for their golf, we’re here to help.

It’s not all that onerous BUT please adhere to the rules - as we’ve said before, no one wants to spread Covid-19 to all their golfing buddies, with a lot of members in the vulnerable health group. Adrian will update the membership should the rules change after 5.30 today

THE RULES:

Legally, Karori GC has to know who has entered the premises.

1. PLEASE book on golf.co.nz, the app, or with the club. You can’t just roll up and wander out on the course., check in using the NZ Covid app when you arrive. ( if you dont have the app sign in using the diary on the table in front of the bar Name-Date-Time)

2. PLEASE don’t come out to the club if you have any coughs or colds

3. Maintain social distancing (don’t hug your partner when their ball drops for birdie, or splashes into the creek 10m ahead).

4. Try not to touch a lot of things - ESPECIALLY the flag.

5. KGC is not taking cash, and there is table service only in the clubhouse.

6. Carts are one person only unless the occupants are from the same bubble

 SCORECARDS

Avoid printing cards, use the golf.co.nz app instead, it has a scorecard enabled. Simply use the clubhouse wifi to open it and the scorecard before you tee off - then it is able to operate in offline mode.

Try it out in the safety of you own home. It’s much, much easier than putting on the 11th.  (You can sign it by entering your playing partners name and number when your round is finished, do this when you get within the clubhouse and you have logged back on to the wifi)

Hopefully this will not be for too long, stay safe and do the right thing.

COVID SCANNING

For those of you with smart phones and the NZ Covid App , please use that to check in at the course. You must still check in or scan the QR Code (it’s that weird jigsaw puzzle thing) as per the Government request of this week

INTERCLUB

It’s the big weekend, the final round of men’s interclub, with Div 2, Div 5 and Div 9 all in with a shout (if it’s held!!). Div 9 are home at 8am, Div 2 at 10am.

WESTWOOD HO

Sunday is finals day: John Stubbe v Deane Milne (kind of like Richie Mo’unga v Beauden Barrett, so if the rugby’s off you’ve still got live sport)
