Changes to Golf NSW Events

There are a number of changes in 2013 regarding the six Golf NSW year-long events. Each event is listed below, and the changes that apply to it noted underneath. Please carefully read this information, and share with any others that it may be relevant to. 2013 NSW Women’s Medal Competition; and 2013 Women’s NSW Bowl; and 2013 Women’s Goodwill Plate. There are two key changes to the above events in 2013. 1. All information for these events will be administered online via our website. This includes nominating your Club to participate (entry into the event), entering your Club results and making payment, and entry into Medal Playoffs. 2. For the first time we have provided promotional flyers to be displayed at Clubs for these events. The flyers include details of the events, and space to promote the Club qualifying round(s). 2013 KENO NSW Mixed Fourball Championship; and 2013 NSW Men’sFourball Championship. There are three key changes to the above events in 2013. 1. A fee of $5 per player (at Level 1 Club qualifying) has been added. We do hope this fee will not impact on participation in your Club, and you continue to support these events. 2. Where previously these events were administered by paper forms, all information will now be completed online via our website. This includes nominating your Club to participate (entry into the event), entering your Club results and making payment, and reviewing District / Metropolitan playoff information. 3. The number of qualifiers that progress from Stage 1 – Club qualifying rounds to Stage 2 – District / Metropolitan playoffs has been changed to reflect the number of participants at Club level. The breakdown of this is: 1 to 15 teams entered one pair eligible for Stage 2; 16 to 30 teams entered two pairs eligible for Stage 2; 31 and more teams entered three pairs eligible for Stage 2. 2013 NSW Women’s Fourball Classic There are four key changes to this event in 2013. 1. There has been a significant change in format from previous years. The NSW Women’s 3BBB Team Classic has become the NSW Women’s Fourball Classic. This event will remain versus par. 2. Prior to Club qualifying, Clubs will receive pads of post-it notes that have the details of the competition pre-printed on them. We will ask that you stick one note on the scorecards of those participating in the event. The aim of this being to ensure players are aware they are participating in the competition. 3.
