SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND HGA

At HGA, we take our environmental and social obligations seriously. Our readers are aware of the efforts put in by us to preserve the ecology in our environs. On previous occasions we have highlighted the multiple increase in the flora and fauna in our course due to sustained efforts to create an eco balance for its growth. Not many are aware of our involvement and commitment to the society surrounding us. We have been particularly active in the following areas: 1. Training and providing employment to scores of youngsters from the neighborhood as caddies. This has helped these deprived young men to keep off the streets as also supplement their family earnings. Involvement in primary education in Golconda area through support of free schools. Special facilities and tournaments for caddies to improve their golfing skills so as to prepare them to take up a career in golf. Free distribution of books & furniture to Schools. In co-ordination with the local NGO's we will be conducting programs to clean upand maintain the Golconda residential area

2. 3. 4. 5.

We have recently added Health Care for the under privileged to our list. We ran a free Health Camp at HGA for the residents of our neighborhood in November. More on this in this issue. In addition HGA donated Rs.50000 to the Jaguar Westin Charity Tournament towards Heal the Child Foundation and another Rs.50000 to the Rotary Charity Tournament. Members and their families' who are interested in supporting our Free Education and Health Care Projects either as volunteers or in kind are requested to contact our Committee Member Avinash Gupta who is coordinating this activity. He will welcome all the help that he can get.

THE QUARTERLY NEWS

From Scotland a helping hand for our budding champions: PGA pro George Bruce (Westhill Golf Club) and his team were recently at HGA on a coaching trip to India and spreading the word of the Paul Lawrie Foundation. George ran a flag event for juniors which went down really well.

Our international referees in the making: As part of agreement with the R&A, the IGU has established a permanent Rules Education and Certification Program, in India. The 4th Introductory Rules School for the C Certificate was held at the Madras Gymkhana Club, Chennai on 01 Dec 2012. Our members Ajay Kumar and Sreenath Rao attended the same and, after a test, qualified for the certificate. Those desirous of obtaining the IGU-R&A B and A certificates must perforce pass the Introductory school with 70 % marks or better or would have passed any of the R&A travelling Rules Schools, in India or elsewhere with a minimum of 60 % marks. This has now become mandatory for all those wishing to referee any event in India. In addition, annually, 2 best performers with the A certificate will be nominated to attend the R&A Rules School at St.Andrews, Scotland, for the International accreditation. We hope to soon see both Ajay and Sreenath Rao as referees in International Meets. Monthly Subscription to go up: Members are aware that we have expanded our golf facility and we now have 16 holes (instead of the 9 holes) in operation As a consequence we have an additional financial burden to maintain the same, The Club Management has therefore decided to levy a monthly course maintainence fees of Rs.200 on all members from 1st January 2013. The levy will appear as a part of your monthly bill.

Golfaholic
Youre a GOLFaholic if... You think that some day youll shoot your age, when a more realistic goal would be to shoot your weight! You know theres more to life than golf, but youre not interested in finding out what it is! You quit the game forever, twice a month! You buy every new golf gizmo that comes out! You think youre skillful and everybody else is lucky!

The only number on your speed dial is 1-800-TEETIME. You have your priorities in order: food, shelter, greens fees, job. You dream you go to prison but still get conjugal visits with your driver. You tell the lost motorist that the gas station is only a par 4 away on the left. Youd like to take off your glove but hey, why bother? Whenever you see a hole in the ground, you squat, squint and read the line. Youre vaguely aware of living with a woman, allegedly your wife

You miss the ball, but still think it was a great swing! The new clubs you just bought cost more than your mortgage and car payment combined! You cant break a 100 but still think you could give Tiger a few tips!

You ask the shopper ahead in the checkout line if you can play through. Before you pick up the salt shaker, you mark its position with a dime.
