A few details regarding Sunday’s round at Royal Adelaide.

[marcel]

Entrance to the Course is off Tapleys Hill Road, Seaton; between Grange Rd and Trimmer Pde.
The entrance road crosses the 18th fairway, look out for and give way to golfers playing the hole when you arrive and leave.

There is extensive building work going on at the moment and access to the Pro Shop is different from last year. Easiest way from the car park is to head towards the railway line and walk between it and the Pro Shop until you come to the Pro Shop entrance at its eastern end. Alternatively walk around the clubhouse, past the practice green and another 30 metres will find you at the Pro Shop entrance.

On arrival please enter your details in the Visitors book in the Pro Shop, tell them you’re with the Ozgolf group.

Entry to the Club’s daily competition is available, but not compulsory, for those with a valid Golflink #. Entry will cost you $6, register on Pro Shop computer.

I usually get asked about short socks – cover the ankle, the golf club logo doesn’t have to be RAGC. Plain white is ok also. The Pro Shop has socks etc. for sale should you need anything. We won’t be using the dining room so golf attire is fine for the Clubhouse.

A bit convoluted to get to the locker room because of the building work, Pro Shop or Clubhouse staff will be able to point you in the right direction. Sunscreen and lockers available. There are also non-secure areas to hang clothes.

There is a practice range adjacent to the 1st fairway, self serve range balls are located under the small stand of trees.

Our tee times are from 11 to 11.40. I’ll endeavour to arrive by 10am and should be either in the Pro Shop or on the Clubhouse verandah adjacent to the practice green.

Bar menu (steak sandwiches, burgers, wraps etc.) available from 10am til 4pm. If you plan to order something prior to your round give yourself at least 30 mins leeway.
If you are likely to be ordering food prior to the round indicate here so I can let the kitchen know please.

Meet on the verandah no later than 10.45, Neil will advise of the seeded draw. Presentations and bullshitting on the verandah at the conclusion.


Any questions post here or pm.

Thanks Marcel. Will have been a while since Jim and I played as guests of yourself at NSW and I introduced you to the putting with a hybrid idea.

[3Puttpete]

Excellent, cheers Marcel.

Grunt, lager and I will be there about 9 and will be ordering food when we can

[Peppas]

Thanks for all your work organising Marcel!

[thecollective]

fine form Marcel

See you there around 9:30

[Chilled]

I'll be there from 5:30 practising.

*cough*....BS....*cough*. But I will endeavour to completely destroy my game for the day by practising with the free range balls prior!

[timinsa]

See you on the terrace.

Marcel, I noticed on your website that you need a medical certificate if you want a cart, Will I need to provide one?

[Hatchman]

Marcel, I noticed on your website that you need a medical certificate if you want a cart, Will I need to provide one?

It's normally only required in a major/status type of competition game e.g. Vardons, SA Amateur. Run of the mill club comp should not be an issue unless marcel says they are sticklers for that rule.

No, they know anyone playing with me voluntarily must be sick.

just pick up and pay at pro shop, reserved under 'ozgolf'

[wazamac]

Cheers, just noticed it on the website under visitors.

Yes you're right, but it's been sorted.

There is extensive building work going on at the moment

Is this to accommodate all the ozgolf tractor parking??

[wazamac]

Their putting in a set of Bike racks. They are going to bury some Thaxted Park players heads in the ground and pull their pants down!

No, extra hard-stand was added 12 months ago

Interesting. I wonder how strictly they enforce it. I was playing RA a couple of weeks back on a Friday and we had a guy with cargo pants, black socks, and a shirt with a massive number on the front - almost like an Ice Hockey shirt. All in my group commented and were quite surprised by it.

black socks a no no

[thecollective]

black socks a no no

Unless you're wearing slacks which I always do - especially on tier 1

But seriously (Phil Collins) no modern day ankle socks and everyone will be fine. We don't want any Yani Tseng look-a-likes

Doesn't mean you need school teacher knee cap high knockers with shorts - the traditional Big W white tubes are the go.

+1 for the courageous use of a Phil Collins reference

What are defined as Club Socks? Below is straight from the RA website.

Consistent with the standards of the Club, smart attire is required at all times.

• Males are required to wear collared shirts (tucked in), long trousers or tailored shorts with short club logo socks or long socks pulled up, and golf shoes without metal spikes.

[Chilled]

Oh and that was the other thing....his shirt wasn't tucked in, multiple violation offender!

Grunt: Marcel covered this in his OP, cover the ankle with a plain white sock if wearing shorts. Just wear simple white tube socks that are shin length.

You will be fine if you do that - and make sure your laces are not colourful or loud.

Should I be removing the pom-pom from the back of them?
