Adverse weather conditions, particularly constant rain throughout the day from 8.30am, put paid to the two planned Griffin and Phoenix social Stableford competitions. A few hardy souls went out to play at least a few holes! A few members turned up and decided no golf to-day and retreated to the comforts of the clubhouse. A few appeared in the car park and decided to turn around and head for home. In summary, with all that rain the ground was very soft and with no buggies, it was not a day for golf. Member information: World Handicapping System (WHS): Thanks to Bob Imrie, CVGS Handicap Secretary for keeping us informed. Bob’s last email contained Note 4 on WHS. If you have any questions about the new system, please forward the questions to Bob (robert_imrie@sky.com) and he will aim to get you an answer. The first competition under WHS will be on Tuesday, 3 November. Registration before commencing your round is obligatory under WHS rules. How we will manage that under Covid-19 guidelines will be communicated to CVGS members before Tuesday, 3 November together with your handicap index. We will be in a transition period and I am sure as we use the new system we will get a good idea of how it all works. Member News:
