Members are well aware how busy Melbourne Cup day can be. The current COVID venue restrictions of 40 patrons inside and no more than 10 patrons per space will make it logistically difficult to service the normal cup day crowd.
As such the venue will be open on Monday 2 November 2020 from 2pm to 8pm for Bar, TAB and Keno services. Members are strongly encouraged to place your Melbourne Cup bets on Monday and also purchase your Melbourne Cup sweep tickets at the same time, to avoid expected delays.
The TAB will open from 9am. Normal lunch and dinner times will apply. Due to patron caps (40 patrons inside and 70 patrons outside), Members are strongly encouraged to book now for lunch and dinner.

The hard border lockdown between metropolitan Melbourne and Regional Victoria will be removed from Monday 9 November 2020. This is great news for approximately 100 of our golf Members who have been unable to access the golf course since March. We welcome back these affected Members and look forward to them once again enjoying golf and all the other Member services at the Warragul Country Club.
Unfortunately there was no change to our current venue patrons caps of 40 patrons inside and 70 patrons outside, no more than 10 patrons per room and no more than 1 person per 4sq metres. These 3 tiers of patron restrictions continue to remain in place.
Apparently Regional Victoria now has to wait for metropolitan Melbourne to “catch up” and to be aligned, before we can then all move to further easing of the above onerous patron restrictions.
The Club is disappointed with this outcome, which means that the current venue patron caps will remain in place until at least Monday 9 November 2020 with no indication beyond that date as to when these venue patron restrictions will be eased.
Following the Premiers announcement yesterday, the gaming room will open on Monday 9 November 2020 at 9am.
Unfortunately the Government has imposed the following conditions:
Logistically this will be challenging as we manage and balance member expectations and compliance with the gaming room patron cap of 10.
Our hope is that the Government further eases these restrictions in a quick and timely manner from Monday 9 November 2020, so we can properly service our Members and guests, and start the road back to business recovery and full operations.

Members,
It has come to the attention of the Pro Shop staff that some temporary local rules may not be being adhered to, correct with how the Rules stipulate.
To help clarify, I bring to your attention certain rules:
Preferred Lies
“When a player’s ball lies in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area.
There are two things that need clarification as we have been asked quite a lot since the Local Rule has been introduced.
A reminder to that now in the Rules of Golf is the embedded ball. Rule 16.3 gives relief for a ball embedded anywhere in the “general area” (the new term for “through the green”).
In regards to GUR, relief from these areas are COMPULSORY unless stipulated otherwise. Nearest point of relief must be taken if Drop zones are not present.
As we head into the championship season, if members are unsure of the Rules, please check first before potentially subjecting yourself to a penalty.
Note: On the MiScore App, under “MENU” on the Top Right of Screen, there is a Local Rule link, which has all the Temporary and Permanent Local Rules to help you when on course.
Good Golfing
