Pennant & Peninsula Match Play for 2026
Expressions of Interest (by 15.8.25)
This email is to call for expressions of interest from all female players who might be interested in playing either Pennant or PMP to represent Rosebud CC in the first half of next year.
Why would I want to take part? A chance to represent your club as part of a supportive team while playing some of the best courses on the Mornington Peninsula, for no charge and with a club shirt thrown in! Uniforms are provided and so is the lunch after the game, at whichever club is hosting the day.
For those who might not be familiar with the format, this is a short explanation:
- Both competitions use a type of game known as matchplay
- Each team consists of 5 or 6 or 7 players who play against an opponent from another club in a hole by hole competition
- Pennant may be played on Sundays, or Thursdays or Fridays (TBC) from mid February until late March and teams are drawn from A grade as they play off scratch (handicaps aren’t considered)
- PMP (Peninsula Match Play) is played on Mondays from early April. There are 2-3 divisions so RCC may field 2-3 teams, depending on numbers of interested players. The teams are selected in handicap order so that the opponents should have similar handicaps, as handicaps are taken into account for scoring.
- Competition season usually lasts for 6-7 weeks (depending on the number of golf clubs taking part) with each club hosting one game and playing at the other clubs on the other days.
- If you have any other queries, please don’t hesitate to ask either Pam or Vicki
Most players choose to have a caddie to accompany them for the game, and this can be a good way to learn about matchplay, if you are interested but feeling nervous! The Committee is also willing to offer practice rounds to teach newcomers about matchplay in the months before the competition season starts. Experienced caddies would be appreciated to accompany newbie players. Most people can’t commit to the entire season so each team needs several emergencies. There is room for anybody who wants to take part.
If you think you might be interested in playing or caddying in 2026, please add your name, golf link number & current GA to the relevant list in the ladies locker room by 15.8.25 so the Committee can both gauge the interest and plan for teams, uniforms etc.
