IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON COVID-19

Yowani is continuing to tailor it’s operations to keep in line with Government rules and regulations around “social distancing” and “mass gatherings”. Below is some important information on changes that have been implemented to maximise the safety and well being of Yowani Members and Staff, including Pro Shop Staff.

IMPORTANT COVID INFORMATION FOR YOWANI MEMBERS AND INTERSTATE VISITORS

Yowani Country Club has taken the very difficult decision to adjust the Club’s golf course, bowling green, motel and clubhouse access entry rules to ensure only members, member’s guests and visitors from non-COVID infected areas are permitted to access the Club’s facilities until further notice.

Members and Visitors that reside in any declared COVID infected areas (as published by the ACT and/or NSW Health websites) are asked not to attend and/or use any of the Club’s facilities at this time.

Members and Visitors that do not reside in any other declared COVID infected areas (as per the above websites), but are returning to the ACT from those areas, are asked not to attend Yowani for a period of 14 days after leaving those areas.

Yowani reserves the right to refuse access to any of the club’s facilities to any person that refuses to provide proof of residency when requested to do so or refuses or misleads Yowani staff when requesting information regarding recent travel to published COVID infected areas.

It is not Yowani’s intention to cause offence and we realise this is a difficult message, but we have a responsibility to implement these measures to best protect our members and staff during these uncertain times.

GENERAL ADVICE

PLEASE CONTINUE TO OBSERVE AND PRACTICE ENHANCED HYGIENE MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL MEMBERS AND STAFF AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, STAY AWAY FROM YOWANI IF YOU ARE FEELING UNWELL, REGARDLESS OF THE SYMPTOMS. IT IS ALSO VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SELF-ISOLATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES IF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO SOMEONE SUFFERING FROM COVID-19 OR IF YOU HAVE RECENTLY RETURNED FROM OVERSEAS.

 PLEASE CONTACT THE CLUB IMMEDIATELY (CLUB@YOWANI.COM.AU) IF YOU HAVE TESTED POSITIVE TO COVID-19  AND HAVE VISITED THE CLUB IN THE LEAD UP TO YOUR POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS.

 GOVERNMENTS HAVE ADVISED ALL PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 70 TO REMAIN AT HOME WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH GOLF AND BOWLS ARE IMPORTANT METHODS OF EXERCISE AND RECREATION FOR ALL PARTCIPANTS, YOWANI STRONGLY URGES ANY MEMBER OVER THE AGE OF 70 TO CONSIDER THIS ADVICE PRIOR TO BOOKING A COMPETITION TEE TIME OR ENJOYING A ROLL-UP.

SOCIAL GOLF

Social play is available to members and visitors but bookings are ESSENTIAL – please phone the Pro Shop (6228 9745) well in advance to book your social round.

COMPETITION GOLF

Yowani Country Club will continue to implement the advice and rules set by the Australian and ACT Governments relating to COVID-19.

Due to recently announced “Returning to Sport” rules, competition golf at Yowani has effectively returned to normal subject to social gathering and social distancing protocols whilst participating in outdoor pursuits. The previously adopted Temporary Rules of Golf (see below links) remain in place for the safety of all participants and staff.

PERSONAL HYGIENE REQUIREMENTS

Members will be aware of the considerable reporting on the Coronavirus that is occurring and should keep themselves informed about government health advice. This advice is available Here

In this regard there are a number of simple measures we can all take to minimise the potential for contracting or spreading  the infection. These include:

• No handshaking, high fives or fist pumps – congratulate/thank your fellow Member with a thumbs up;
• Do not share food or water;
• Cover nose and mouth with tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing;
• Keep 1.5m distance from anyone at all times;
• Use alcohol-based hand wash where available;
• Wash hands with soap and water and dry with paper towel before and after games;
• Avoid picking up another players bowl or golf ball; and
• Any member with flu-like symptoms should exclude themselves from play at the first sign of symptoms and seek medical advice.

Corporate Golf

Corporate golf days are very popular at Yowani. The Club offers a range of catering packages, including formal dining, buffets, barbecues, gourmet sandwiches, cocktails and beverages. We can also coordinate ‘on course’ drink stations or catering carts.

After your game, the garden lawns are ideal for awards presentation or a relaxed barbecue. There is plenty of room for a marquee to be set up, or the presentation can be in one of the Club’s well-appointed function rooms.
