Hi Veteran Golfers. As promised when we first established Horizons Veterans Golf Club, it’s time for a second round of the members survey to determine if there are any changes you would like to see in the operation of the Club.

The questions in the survey are substantially the same as the first survey with one deletion and two additions. The deletion is for the preferred day to play as Tuesday is now locked in from a Horizons management viewpoint and this is unlikely to change. The two additional questions are:

• (1) if you are happy with how things are now, which means we don’t have to look any further down the list, and
• (2) if you are interested in being involved in games away from horizons, be they NSWVGA events or otherwise. If you are “happy” with how things are being managed at the moment it is still important to reply, otherwise those who want changes will get all the votes, and you may no longer be “happy”.

Please proceed to the Member Survey, enter your email address to begin, answer the 6 multiple choice questions and submit your survey.

Separate Competitions

On the question of separate competitions for men and women, please be aware that in January 2020 we will be moving to the World Handicap System when all ladies will get a 2 or 3 shot additional handicap adjustment for all competitions, not just stroke and stableford competitions as is the case now.

Lucky Draw

On a positive note, the Committee has decided that we will have a members draw every Tuesday at the conclusion of the presentation. The Committee will offer a $20 Horizons voucher for the draw, and Paul and Sarina from the Café have very kindly offered to provide an additional $20 voucher, many thanks and much appreciated Paul and Sarina. This means that the members draw will be worth $40 every Tuesday, with winners having to be present at the time to claim the prize. Unclaimed prizes will jackpot until they are won. Hopefully this will encourage members to stay for the presentation and socialise with the other members, which is the whole point of Veterans golf. We are still working out the logistics of how this draw will work but we should have it to start next Tuesday.

Regards,
Ian Barnard
President / HVGC.
