MEMBER NOTICE: Wednesday Booking Sheet Trial

Wednesday Mornings

Limited Two Tee Start Trial

21st June 2017 – 9th August 2017

Over the past three years, Wednesday competition fields have increased by approximately 30%.  At certain times throughout the year limited daylight hours create a problem for our morning players in that demand for early tee times outstrips supply.

Having monitored this situation we have concluded that, once first tee times are pushed out from 6:30am to 7:00am and beyond, the resultant disruption to Members’ regular playing times warrants the implementation of a morning only limited two tee start trial.

Limited Two Tee start

The trial will allow for six groups (24 players) teeing off from the 10th tee from approximately 7:45am – 8:33am.  Tee times on the first tee will be blocked from approximately 9:40am – 10:28am allowing for the players from the 10th to move through the 1st tee.

*There will be no disruption to the existing time sheet from this point onwards, i.e. no impact on members who play regularly after 10:30am

While this decision has major ramifications to the operational capacity of our ground staff, Clubhouse Food and Beverage Operations and also Pro Shop requirements, it has been made in consultation with all relevant managers.  Member satisfaction is the number one priority for both committee and staff.

We reiterate that this trial is being implemented with the goal of increasing overall member satisfaction but appreciate that there may be a small inconvenience for some. We encourage feedback during the trial period and, should it become evident that we have not achieved our key motivation of improving the overall member experience, we will promptly re-assess.

We stress to members that adhering to the Club’s booking rules policy is of paramount importance for this trial to be successful.
