Members are advised that with effect from Monday 26th October 2009 until Sunday 28th March 2010 the Professional Shop will be operating on the following winter hours :-
Monday to Friday - 8.30am to 4.00pm
Saturday & Sunday - 8.00am to 4.00pm
The “Course Closed” sign will be located on the first tee until the course is open to play and no play is allowed on the course prior to this sign being removed by the Greens Staff or the Starter. The sign will be removed and the course opened for play as soon as it is in a condition for play, in compliance with Health and Safety guidelines.
The first bookable tee time will change throughout the winter in accordance with daylight hours.
With effect from Saturday 10th October, the current Tee Booking Trial System will cease and all oral and written observations, both in favour and against, will be considered before next season when we hope to introduce an Internet booking facility, in addition to ‘in person’ and telephone bookings.
The ball in the chute system will be introduced for Saturday mornings only, commencing on Saturday 10th October 2009 and will operate as last year with the chute being placed outside the Professional Shop until such times as the Starter arrives at which time it will be placed inside the Professional Shop. Members arriving before the shop opens are reminded that only their own ball i.e. one ball should be placed in the chute. A starting sheet, with 7 minute intervals, will take effect from 10.00am and be available throughout the day. The chute will only be in use until 10.00am at which time the normal reservation system will operate. The starting sheet for the following Saturday will be available in the clubhouse lounge when the clubhouse is opened at 7.30 am.
(Members who wish to use the ball in the chute method should be aware that persons who have booked times on the Reservation system from 10.00am onwards will be given priority on the tee.)
