Aylen kicks clear to claim Associate National Championship

Posted on 11-12-2021

By – PGA Media


Second Year PGA Associate Lachlan Aylen has secured the PGA Associate National Championship and with it a start at the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland in January.

Starting the final round at Rich River Golf Club with the equal lead at five-under par, Aylen poured the pressure on early with four birdies on the front nine to open up a six-shot lead over the field at the turn.

The Eynesbury Homestead and Golf PGA Associate was able to consolidate his early form with an even-par back nine to finish at nine-under for the tournament, five shots clear of Queenslander AJ McCoy.

McCoy’s round of five-under 67 was the best of the final round and enough to elevate himself to outright second but he started too far back to bridge the gap to the 2021 PGA Associate National Champion.

“I’m really happy with how I went out and took my chances this morning,” said Aylen.

“With the field bunching up yesterday I knew I had to be aggressive early and go out and try to win it, so it was really pleasing to be able to execute and drop those putts on the front nine.”

Aylen made special mention of his playing partners and friends he’s made during the tournament.

“I just wanted to thank all my playing partners today and the for the whole week. We get to know each other quite well in the Membership Pathway Program so it’s special to be able to share this moment with what I’m sure will be lifelong friends,” he added.

Also earning a start from her performance this week was second year PGA Associate Steffi Vogel. As the highest-ranked female PGA Associate in the field, Vogel has earnt a start at the TPS Sydney event at Bonnie Doon Golf Club in February.

“It’s super exciting,” said the Cobram Barooga Associate. “It’s such a great opportunity thanks to the WPGA and I can’t wait to get up there.”

The day was also special for Vogel who had a highlight of her own, scoring a hole-in-one on the 118-metre seventh hole, the second ace recorded for the tournament.

“It was a great day today,” said the smiling 23-year-old.

“I used 9-iron and hit it well. I was hoping it would get close and just watched it roll up and into the hole.”

New Vaccination Requirements at HGC

Posted on 01-11-2021

In recent times through website postings the club has strongly encouraged all members to be vaccinated. Below is the outcome of recent changes from the Victorian Government and we expect all members, guests and visitors to follow the guidelines in this policy. The Board of Heidelberg Golf Club has been continuously considering the issue of providing access to our clubhouse, golf course and bowling green as we exit forced restrictions by the Victorian Government. After considering many options, on Thursday 14th October the Board decided to continue to follow directives in accordance with Government regulations subject to review if the Covid situation changed in Victoria or at our Club.

On Saturday 30th October the club received communication from Golf Australia outlining an update from the Chief Health Officer that can be read here. The major change made is the requirement that golfers must be fully vaccinated or have an exception in order to play, as outlined here; 

As from Tuesday the 2nd of November all members now will be required to be fully vaccinted to play golf.

It continues to be a requirement for members to scan the QR code on entry to any part of the Club premises, or have a staff record your attendance should you be unable to use the QR scan. Proof of vaccination status is now required to enter any part of the Club premises. Members who have submitted their proof of vaccination status to the club will not be required to display when arriving at the Pro shop. Members who have not submitted proof of vaccination status to the club will be required to do so upon arrival at the Pro shop.  We ask that any conversations on this subject are held respectfully with staff.

Below is a copy of revised golf and clubhouse operations as we return to near normal over the next week:

  • Golf in groups of 4 and competitions return from Saturday 30th October, golfers must be fully vaccinated or have an exception in order to play,as outlined here;  
  • Usual timesheets continue from Saturday 30th October
  • Group coaching outdoors can resume for up to 30 people (excluding the coach), indoor coaching will require all staff and patrons to be fully vaccinated whilst adhering to density limits.
  • Retail, (pro shops) may resume operations subject to a DQ4 limit (one person per four square metres) if all staff and patrons are fully vaccinated;
  • Indoor hospitality may operate indoor seated service without any capacity limits subject to a DQ4 limit. Outdoor hospitality may operate without any capacity limits up to 500 patrons subject to a DQ2 limit (one person per two square metres). If all staff and patrons are fully vaccinated;
  • Masks will continue to be required to be worn indoors across Victoria.
  • Locker rooms and showers are open and can operate.

We hope all members understand that we are merely adhering to Victorian Government requirements.

Kind Regards,

Garry Hines 
President

To improve social distancing and to help deal with the fog, we will now be hitting off the 10th hole as the first and will be playing the back 9 as 5 to 4. So the hole order for 18 hole golf is 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4. When you have finished at the 4th hole please go to your car via the lower car park.  

This opportunity is taken to AGAIN remind all members of the rules in place for the upcoming week:

  • One game of 18 holes and one game of 9 holes per member.
  • If you are retired we are requesting you to play during the week
  • Any member who exceeds this limit will be removed from the timesheets.
  • We are asking that all Members who are able to play during the week must leave the weekend spots free for those Members who work Monday to Friday. The club will be strictly reviewing all weekend bookings.
  • Failing to appear for a booked time and not advising the Golf Shop in a timely manner will result in removal of playing rights in the following week.
  • No Guests or Green Fee players will be allowed to play until further notice.

Exception: If there are spots available from 6pm the day before we will allow members who want to fill vacant spots to do so.  Doing this will not affect your weekly booking limit. People who are not following these rules will have their booking deleted.

Thank you all for your understanding and assistance during this time.

Carts

While we have announced carts are back, due to the rain we will only be allowing them on holes 1 to 9. Only club carts will be allowed and no private carts as club carts are lighter. Unfortunately, you will either need to walk or stop after the first 9 holes.

As per the regulations golf carts should only be used by a person who has a disability, is over the age of 65, or who can demonstrate that they require one due to having special needs. Course operators are required to thoroughly clean the carts in between each use

All Prizes will be delivered in voucher form.
