Fraserburgh Golf Club breaks new ground with the help of ticmic360 and the “voice of golf” Sky Sports Ewen Murray

We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with local company ticmic360, specialists in creating 360 virtual tours online.

The initiative, headed up by Committee Member Eddie McDonald, has created with Nigel Hancock from ticmic360 a complete virtual tour of Fraserburgh’s clubhouse and the historic James Braid inspired Corbiehill course which is now available on the Clubs website. This project has been completed using cutting-edge technology and will surely be one of the first of its kind in the world of golf.

The innovative project allows future visitors, and members alike, to virtually walk the course, wherever they are in the world, the experience greatly enhanced by drone flyovers of all 18 holes.

As a very special touch Eddie with blessing from the Committee commissioned and enlisted the help of renowned Sky Sports commentator and former professional, Ewen Murray to add his unmistakable voice to provide a uniquely informed take on each of the course’s 18 holes.

This project is the most important single piece of work the club has undertaken in many years and will hopefully prove invaluable to the club moving forwards as we continue our efforts to increase our exposure both at home and abroad.

As digital technology continues to evolve, it is important for golf clubs to do the same and we are truly delighted to have Ewen Murray provide that extra bit of value to the work we are doing with ticmic360 to create a virtual tour of our facilities.

A truly special word of thanks must go to both Nigel Hancock of ticmic360 and Ewen Murray for their contribution in making this come to fruition.

Eddie has been working on this for some time and should be rightly proud of his efforts and the club wishes to congratulate him and his partners.

The virtual tour and all of Ewen’s flyover commentary and videos both as a collective and individually are also now available on the Clubs official YouTube Channel at the following link and we would urge members and visitors alike to take the timeout to experience the virtual tour and the flyover footage.

The Fraserburgh Golf Club Corbie Hill Lottery is open!

You will have no doubt seen some of our advance publicity for the Lottery which we are launching today. I want to thank our Committee for bringing this forward and in particular, our Match Secretary, Ross Cardno who has led this process and Finlay Noble at Fraserburgh FC for his invaluable assistance.

This is a fantastic opportunity not only for you to provide financial support to the club by purchasing and selling tickets to your family and friends but also to win prizes in the lottery!

Half of the money raised will be available for monthly prizes and half used to help the Club through the current financial difficulties caused by the pandemic. All the details are available on the Club website.

We need your help. We are asking each member to sell at least four tickets. If we achieve that goal the lottery will be a massive success but it wont happen unless you play your part as a member.

How do I buy a ticket?

The easiest and best way is to send a payment to the club through your on-line banking. The Sort Code is 832017 and the account number is 14011435, please reference your payment with your name. For those using this method outside the UK, the account IBAN number is GB40RBOS83201714011435.

Alternatively, please complete the standing order mandate which is attached to this email and submit to your bank. If choosing this route, please act swiftly as banks can be slow to process these and the first draw is due at the start of next month. You can send this email to friends if they need to use this route.

Other options are of course to simply pay by cheque or to use your credit/debit card by ringing Debbie at the Office (01346 516616). Debbie would prefer to avoid handling cheques for obvious reasons, but we are happy to accept these if its your preferred option.

What happens next?

If you have paid into the draw, this will take place on the first Tuesday of each month at the Golf Club Committee meeting. The draw will use a random number generator and the five prize winners will be notified by phone, text, What’s App or email. At least two draws will feature larger prizes than normal.

The full rules and draw details are in the attachments to this email. The Club is fully compliant with all national and local legal requirements.

You can contact any of the Committee members if you have any queries by replying to this email for their contact numbers.

In conclusion, I would just like to thank you in anticipation of your support and I know that you will make every effort to help us overcome the difficulties we currently face by playing your part in selling our Club Lottery.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Thomson, Captain
On behalf of the Committee

Ladies

We as a committee have decided to start the competitions for the Season 2020 on Monday 15^th June. A copy of the Fixture List is attached.

LADIES-FIXTURE-LIST-2020-revised Download

The Rosehill stablefords will start from Sunday 21^st June and will run every Sunday and Wednesday.

Competitions – As we have no access at the moment to the Locker room we have taken the decision that to enable us to play competitions , we enter the competition online ( Debbie in the office can do this if you do not have the facility yourself), enter the scores online (You need to make sure Rae or Fiona get your scores through on the day or your playing partner may input for you)

Entry Fees – Can you put your entry fee in an envelope and write on the name and date of your comps which we will endeavour to collect once we can access the locker room.

Tee Times – There will be no restrictions in tee times until we can return to normal draws being made in the locker room (except for the Championship). If possible can we try to mix up our playing partners to ensure no one left out of playing. The Whats App group can be used if anyone looking for a partner. Reminder to everyone if playing in the competition to use the Comp tab. And if you are entering score on the App enter both your own score and that of your partner.

Well done to all the ladies who have been using the app in the trial competitions and seems to be progressing well.

Listed below are the Rules which have been changed by the R & A.

Competition Rules

The rules of golf remain the same for competition play on the whole but I have included the R and A changes that have been published under Covid guidance. Some of these local rules we have endorsed and some we have not.

Scoring in Stroke Play (Rule 3.3b)

In view of concerns around handling and exchanging scorecards (which may be in paper or electronic form as already provided in the Rules), on a temporary basis, Committees may choose to allow methods of scoring in stroke play that do not strictly comply with Rule 3.3b, or do not comply with the normal methods used under Rule 3.3b.

For example:

Players may enter their own hole scores on the scorecard (it is not necessary for a marker to do it).

It is not necessary to have a marker physically certify the player’s hole scores, but some form of verbal certification should take place.

It is not necessary to physically return a scorecard to the Committee provided the Committee can accept the scores in another way.

The committee decided that scoring would be done through the app and also have the option to send paper copies of the scores to Rae or Fiona on the basis you contacted one of us before the competition date. Players may enter their own score on the card or app but a verbal agreement would take place on the scores.

Flagsticks

Committees may choose to adopt the following policies on a temporary basis:

Golfers are always required to leave the flagstick in the hole and not to touch it. It is a matter

for the Committee to decide whether it establishes this policy by way of a Code of Conduct or

Local Rule, and whether it provides a penalty under the Code of Conduct or for a breach of the

Local Rule.

The committee decided that we will have flagsticks in place but all flagsticks would remain in the hole at all times. There will be no punishment for touching or taking the flag out on an accidental basis. Continual removal of the flag during a round would be deemed a breach of this rule and result in disqualification.

Bunkers

If rakes have been removed from the course, or if the Committee has requested that rakes not be used, it is recognised that bunkers may not be smoothed as well as when there are rakes on the course. But it is recommended that no modification is made to the Rules of Golf in such circumstances, and that players are requested to smooth bunkers using their feet or a club.

If, as a result of there being no rakes, the Committee decides to introduce a Local Rule relating to bunkers, the Committee should consult its handicapping authority for guidance on whether scores submitted under such Local Rule are acceptable for handicapping purposes.

The committee decided that the enjoyment of the game was being significantly

affected by there being no rakes, and has introduce preferred lies in bunkers. A player may place a ball in the bunker within one club-length of the original spot and not nearer to

the hole than that spot.

These are some major changes regarding the input and collecting of scores so we ask that the membership bears with us as we go through this transitional period. If there are any issues or queries then please do not hesitate to contact the club or myself through email, telephone , Whats App or Facebook All the best to everyone who is taking part.

Play well and stay safe

On behalf of the Ladies Committee

Fiona & Alison

All,

Today we have witnessed another significant milestone for Fraserburgh Golf Club in that we ran a Ladies and Gents Competition albeit on a non-qualifying basis for the moment for the very first time without the requirement of Money,Scorecards and the More usual IPad for Score entry.

It gives me a sense of great personal pride as i know “VMS” is often termed “My Baby” and i’m genuinely humbled that 63 players in the Gents competition managed to Enter,Select a tee time, score & finalise with not one manual input for a scorecard other than a couple of minor corrections, truly amazing and a great testament to you all. The ladies also completed and finalised a competition with the minimum of fuss. Everyone should be truly proud of their efforts.

That’s every single player embracing the technology and demonstrating a willingness and determination to give it a go and i personally and the Committee as a collective want to genuinely thank you all for your efforts as this has been a massive change to the way we operate with not only the competition software but also the new booking system.

So a huge well done to all and hopefully we can build on this moving into the days and weeks ahead.

Please continue to stay safe and play well

Regards
Eddie McDonald

Please find attached the rescheduled fixture list for the Season. Obviously every fixture is subject to change.

Special thanks to Gourock Golf Club for allowing us use of these tutorial videos and more specifically Gordon Crae.

R&A have allowed Clubs to use digital scoring during Covid-19 relaxed restrictions – here is the statement from R&A:

“….. The principles in the Rules that apply to paper scorecards need to apply equally to digital methods of scoring. These principles include the requirement for each player to have an independent marker who is responsible for his or her scorecard during the round. This is covered in Rule 3.3b, which requires that the player’s score is kept on his or her scorecard by the marker and that after each hole during the round, the marker should confirm with the player the number of stokes on that hole (including strokes made and penalty strokes) and enter that gross score on the scorecard.

Provided the criteria stated in the Rules is met there should be no issue with national organisations accepting digital scores, however it would be advisable to contact the national organisations to check their handicap systems.“

To reduce Covid-19 transmission risk, it is unlikely that Club score entry terminals will be available any time soon and if Fraserburgh Golf Club members would like to potentially play in competitions, they need to learn how to pay their entry fee, enter competitions and mark another players score digitally. Here are some tutorials members may find useful:

Tutorial 1: How to Enter a competition

Tutorial 2: How to Top-Up your account for cashless competition entry

Tutorial 3: How to Score on the Scottish Golf App
