PRESIDENTS REPORT With the very hot weather continuing I

thought it appropriate to remind all

members of the Mildura Golf Resort’s

Heat policy and other adverse weather

conditions.

The Committee recognises it has a duty

of care to its members and therefore

have written the following policy. During

days where the forecast is for 45 degrees

Celsius and above the Match Committee

may decide to cancel the day’s

competition and/or the afternoon portion

only.

Members who play on days of extreme

heat do so at their own risk and are

advised to take measures to prevent heat

stress, heat stroke, heat cramps and

heat exhaustion. The following

precautions must be observed: carry a

mobile phone with the Pro Shops phone

number and call if assistance is required,

carry a drink container with water or

rehydration fluid, wear a hat, apply

sunscreen and carry an umbrella for

shade.

It is recommended that members

intending to play on days of extreme heat

should contact the Pro Shop on

50228089 to ascertain if the competition

has been cancelled or re-programmed to

the morning only.

Other extreme weather conditions that

can threaten the immediate or long-term

safety of individuals are: thunderstorms,

heavy rainfalls, lightening and heavy

winds.

If thunderstorms are imminent or present

we strongly advise you to leave the golf

course. A signal from the Pro Shop for

suspending play due to extreme weather

conditions will be a prolonged air-horn

that may be repeated. Resumption of

play will be two short air-horn notes

repeated.

In competition play, under rule 6.8 a

player may discontinue play by marking

the position of their ball, return to the

Club House and then resume play when

conditions are safe as advised by a

Match Committee representative.

If it is raining heavily, competition may be

discontinued for a period of up to 45

minutes and conditions reassessed to

determine whether play should continue.

When any of the above weather

conditions occur do not shelter under

trees and you are strongly advised to

leave the golf course.

On Australia Day, over 100 players

competed in the Klemms Newsagency

sponsored event and had a very

enjoyable day. A cooked breakfast and

lunch was provided to all players.

Watching the Australian Open tennis on

Friday night taught me a good lesson. In

all sports you have some good days and

bad days don’t let it get you down, just

keep on doing what you enjoy.

Good golfing to everybody.

Col Harrison

President

CAPTAINS REPORT

there continued sponsorship over many

Getting Women into Golf

In 2018 the Golf Committee and myself

are putting a focus on attracting more

women into golf. Often considered a

tough task by a lot of clubs around the

country; however with a different attitude

and a few outside the box ideas I am

confident we can have some success. So

watch this space Women's Golf at

Mildura Golf Resort is about to get a

gentle shake up.

Kind regards

Wade Hooper
