Golf HB Mens Player Vaccination Status Requirement; (Email received 9/02/2022; 

The Golf Hawkes Bay & PBW board met last week. A discussion was had regarding requiring all players that wish to play in our events be vaccinated against covid-19 to play.

Below is the condition that will be added to all competitions for at least the 2022 season. From a Men’s Perspective this impacts but is not limited to:

  • Pennants
  • Coronation Cup
  • Greenwood Cup
  • Pike Cup

Player Eligibility – Covid Vaccination Status 



All players who wish compete in any Golf Hawkes Bay & Poverty Bay Women run competition, and who are older than 12 years 3 months, must be fully vaccinated as this definition applies. 


This responsibility rests with the club and team captain. If an ineligible player competes, the team’s points on the day will be removed and additional points and sanction penalties may apply. 


As the pandemic and its variants move and change, so may the definition of full vaccination. This definition as it applies to this eligibility clause may also change in real time, any changes being advised to all clubs directly as soon as a change is needed.

Over and above this requirement, it is each team’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with the process required to enter each host facility they play at, allowing time etc to complete this process.

 

Kind regards

That wraps up this weeks edition of What's On. If you are still alive in the Summer Cup, good luck for round 2. If you are playing at the week end, don't forget to carry plenty of fluids. Keeping hydrated keeps you upright.


Good Golfing,
