The Wanderers Golf Club turns 70 this year.

70th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

As captain I have been asked many questions from what's the line? what's the time? to what's a pie cos(t)?  Seriously the 2 questions that really got me thinking:

1) Why the name Wanderers? & 2) Why the chariot?

Men from all over the world seeking their fortune from gold (all "wanderers" in a strange land) founded the Wanderers Club (as we know it). 
Wanderers emerged from, amongst others, I Zingari (The Gypsies), a club, synonymous with the highest ideals of sportsmanship, whose colours black, red and gold (which signified darkness through fire into light) were adopted by Wanderers.

In 1910 a prominent member of the club, Arthur Ruben, impressed by the spirit of the Olympic Games as well as the charioteer (who is associated with heroes) on the Olympic medals designed the badge which was adopted by the club, the badge that is still today worn so proudly by our members and recognized throughout the world.

In celebrating our 70th year let us not forget the great traditions upon which Wanderers was built – good fellowship and sportsmanship at all times.

______________________________________________________________________

Handicap Changes effecive 1/4/2009.
As from the 1st April 2009, the method of determining the number of strokes per hole for handicapping purposes will revert back to the method used prior to 2003, i.e. 2 overs and 3 overs may only be taken where the player strokes.

A. Where a player receives no stroke on a hole - maximum of 1 over par

B. Where a player receives one stroke on a hole - maximum of 2 over par

C. Where a player receives two strokes on a hole - maximum of 3 over par

In addition, the handicap used to determine where a player strokes will be the relevant handicap in play, whether handicap or handicap allowance, e.g. a 24-handicapper playing Singles is allowed 3-overs on holes stroked 1 through 6, the same 24-handicapper playing Better-ball has an allowance of 18 and is therefore limited to 2-overs on any hole.

The rules of golf require a player to record his full handicap on a competition scorecard.  Therefore, it is a breach of the rules of golf to record only a player’s handicap allowance on the scorecard.  The SAGA requires all players in Better-ball competitions to record both their handicap and handicap allowance, e.g. 14/11 or 18/14.
