  • Movember Set to Improve Men's Health This November
    MOVEMBER SET TO IMPROVE MEN’S HEALTH THIS NOVEMBER AT THE MELBOURNE WORLD CUP OF GOLF 21 June, 2018: To help raise much needed funds, and awareness of men’s health issues, the Movember Foundation will come in swinging following their appointment as the official charity of the Melbourne World Cup of Golf, to be held at The Metropolitan Golf Club from the 21-25 November 2018. And with players from 28 nations descending on Melbourne for the event, the opportunity exists for players and fans to sport a traditional national mo to support the cause and get involved. The Movember Foundation has one goal: to stop men dying too young. As the only global charity tackling men’s health issues year-round, the Foundation funds programs tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In 2018, more than 1.4 million men globally will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Three out of every four suicides are men and, in Australia, testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 34. With those statistics, Melbourne World Cup of Golf Executive Director Robyn Cooper says the Movember Foundation is the perfect fit for the tournament. “We are proud to be able to support a global charity that was born in Melbourne,” Cooper said. “Approximately 75% of the world’s golfers are male and from Craig "The Walrus" Stadler to John Daly and our own Geoff Ogilvy to legendary caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowen, the moustache has long been the trademark of the stylish pro golfer.” The PGA TOUR has been a strong supporter of the moustache, with the Web.com Tour conducting the annual Moustache Madness contest at the Utah Championships every July.

  • Sitting Volleyball in Great Britain Gordon Neale
    Sitting Volleyball in Great Britain Gordon Neale OBE GB Sitting Volleyball – Challenge Sitting Volleyball in Great Britain has recently undergone a surge of activity due to the Paralympics being staged in London this year. Volleyball England now have the responsibility for the GB programme and under their guidance a specific Sitting Volleyball Centre Network and a Grand Prix Circuit has been established with the finals being staged and integrated alongside the Volleyball National Finals. It is now crucial to the sport that we recruit, retain and inspire more people into the game of Sitting Volleyball bringing with them a legacy and vision for 2020. Obstacles – Current reality indicates that apart from financial programme sustainability for both the men’s and women’s programmes (we only have a joint income of £100,000 annually) the difficulty in attracting and retaining suitable players remains a concern especially for the women’s programme given the time scales and pressure from the British Paralympic Association regarding qualification. Objectives • To establish the unique selling points of Sitting Volleyball versus the main sports and disability sport agenda. • To position our sport and brand in the public and commercial marketplace. Entry Point The Challenge – RECRUITMENT! Sitting Volleyball Awareness Workshops ran in, Canterbury, Loughborough, Salisbury, Warwick, Sunderland, Leeds… Players A game named as Bum Ball was produced and published on the VE website as a starting point for any School or Disability Group. Referees A sitting referees award is available as an addition to the standing qualification Classifiers 4 qualified classifiers within Great Britain of varying levels within Great Britain Programme but more are needed at the entry point Coaches All Centres with qualified coaches and coaching awards encompassing sitting and standing.

  • Video Review Protocols for Televised Golf Competitions in April 2017
    Video Review Protocols for Televised Golf Competitions In April 2017, The R&A and the USGA established a video review working group that included representatives from the PGA TOUR, LPGA, PGA European Tour, Ladies European Tour and PGA of America. The working group’s comprehensive study of the use of video evidence in applying the Rules of Golf was completed in October 2017. One of the outcomes of the study was an agreement on the new set of video protocols that are summarised in this document. All organisations that participated in the working group have agreed to use this approach to video review and recommend that it be used by other organisations that run televised golf competitions as well. Video Review Protocols for Televised Golf Competitions 1. Overall Standard for Using Information from Any Credible Source When facts need to be decided in applying the Rules of Golf, players, referees and the Committee in charge of the competition will continue to consider information from any credible source, including: • Witnesses on the course, such as other players, caddies, referees, marshals and spectators, and • Video of the competition that is produced by the broadcast partner. Consideration of all available evidence remains an essential part of applying the Rules of Golf, because many things happen during play of a round that cannot be seen by the players or referees. (See Decision 34-3/9 of the Decisions on the Rules of Golf for more information on the responsibility of referees and committees in deciding questions of fact.) 2. Protocols for the Review of Video Evidence Although details of the Committee video review procedures may vary by organisation or by the nature of the competition, each organisation represented on the working group agrees to use these video review protocols: a.
