Dear members,
The start of the 2024 golf season couldn't have started better in terms of weather! Summer feeling as early as April and the park course in Schönborn is already in excellent condition.
All those who have already had the time to play the first rounds in the 2024 season will be the new No-game zones We would like to point out again:
The penalty areas, characterized by red pegs with green caps There are no play zones on holes 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13,15,16,18.
If the ball comes to rest in one of the no-play zones in the affected penalty areas, the ball may not be played and the player must claim relief with penalty in accordance with Rule 17.1d.
Both playing and entering the areas are prohibited.
If the ball is outside these no-play zones and his standing or swing would be affected by these no-play zones, the player must seek relief under Rule 16.1b without penalty.
These no-play zones were built to give game in Schönborn rest areas, also for safety reasons and to speed up the game!
If compliance with these no-game zones is violated, our Marshalls are instructed to issue warnings:1. Violation = warning2. Violation = 2nd warning3. Violation = referral.
In addition, in the interest of all members — especially the members playing directly behind you — we ask bunker After playing your ball out, rake again. One ball in the bunker is already punishment enough — if it is also in a footprint etc. of a previous player, the task often becomes very difficult!!
The first Ranking tournaments brought great successes again for the players of GC Schloss Schönborn:
AK 19-24 men 1st place Kirmici Stepan
MidaM Women - 3rd place Gugler Cristina
Senior men - 3rd place reason Robert
Gabriele Melhardt was able to secure the Lower Austrian national champion title of senior women at GC Fontana.
Congratulations!!
Also our youth The 2024 tournament season got off to a brilliant start at the 1st AJGT at GC Spring:
Among the U12 girls, the currently unrivaled Samira Petek won a huge victory with 20 strokes ahead of the runner-up.
In the U12 boys, only one participant from Germany prevented a double victory for the GCSS. With Matteo Kaipel in 2nd place and Benjamin Al-Khaffaf in 3rd place, the usual protagonists were once again at the forefront.
Our two new members, the brothers Felix and Philipp Neffe, finished in strong 5th place (U12) and shared 15th place (U14).
ÖGV national team player Stephan Csöngei narrowly missed out on the podium among the U16 boys with 4th place. He played an excellent 1 under par in the first round, but had to give up a bit on the 2nd day.
Fiona Klein, who joined the GCSS women's team this year, achieved a great fourth place for the GCSS despite a change of swing among the U18 girls with a shared 3rd place.
Well done!
