that could be plausible Capital probably have a lot of spare capacity and location wise its probably more attractive to Kingswood members than Peninsula is. |

Topic: Golf Talk / Possible Keysborough merger
This is the basic problem – most of the clubs in the general vicinity are 50 to 100 or more full members below their ideal numbers, combine any two of them and you have way more members than capacity exists for and this would especially the case on Saturday am times where utilisation would high at all the clubs. Peninsula makes sense as a merger candidate becuase they have a large amount of course capacity available but few clubs would make a good partner due to fees prevailing fee levels, demographics, culture … etc. Kingswood are a pretty high fee club (full 7 day $3,850 odd) and they are struggling to sell the proposition to their members. |

Topic: Golf Talk / Peninsula - Kingswood merge. What's happening???
Not really, they are long term members who love their club, live close by and are prepared to pay more cash if thats what staying means. They also don’t have that many years of golf left. |

Topic: Golf Talk / Slope Handicap System
The short answer is no. It will work some of the time but on enough occasions it won’t produce the right answer. The new method is expected to be a bit better. As the fields get bigger the impact of ‘outrider’ scores is of less significance. Some modelling was done ages ago and they worked out the minimum field size required for the CCR to be reliable on a statistically significant basis was slightly under 100 players and that the reliability increases as fields get bigger. |

Topic: Golf Talk / Peninsula - Kingswood merge. What's happening??? At each club it needs a 75% majority (of those who vote) to get up. I spoke to half a dozen or so members. Two were flat out against it and I can’t see them changing their minds. The rest were not keen based on information provided to date and from a location point of view. That said they indicated that they were capable of being persuaded Its going to be hard to work to get the numbers martialled at Kingswood at the moment. I think its an easier proposition for Peninsula members. |

Topic: Golf Talk / Slope Handicap System Actually the CCR was a pretty reliable measure provided the rated course was used and the field was a decent size (say 100 or more). Of course there are a lot of comps conducted where one or both of this conditions are not met so lots of the time it was not reliable. Lots of comp fields especially country clubs, womens events and slow midweek days at other clubs struggle to get field sizes anywhere near a 100 players. Also prior to the recent re-rating exercise (and this has not been perfect either) a lot of clubs had out dated course ratings. On of my former clubs had cut roughly 100m off the course when the sold some land off but it took them an age to get it re-rated. Plus a lot of clubs run comps with tee markers well forward of the rated positions.. |
