Club Captain Update – from Doug Claridge
|
Unfortunately, the Queen’s Birthday Shotgun tournament was cancelled due the course being closed due to surface flooding. I’m not sure if anyone would have wanted to play in the inclement conditions last Saturday. The course was open for play on Sunday for those that were keen, and it was in fantastic condition when I played on Monday. In talking to Colin, our Greenkeeper he said the course was needing the rain to get some groundwater for spring. The course is definitely now in winter conditions. The fairways are soft and greens receptive. It was noticeable on Monday the number of the fresh divots not being replaced by players in front of me. Again, I remind players to be proactive in looking after the course; replace and fill your divots (and even others), repair your pitch marks and rake the bunkers after being caught in the sand traps. There is nothing worse to be doubly penalised in the bunker when your ball is sitting in someone’s foot marks! This weekend is the start of the winter tee times. Please be on time for your allocated tee time to reduce the potential for delays in the field. The Men are playing a Monthly Medal Stroke round, and the Ladies have an FMS stableford. Met service is forecasting a fine day, good weather for playing good golf, I hope. The BCHP draw is out. It is posted on the website, in the Proshop and in the Clubhouse. The first round of the BCHP is the 15th of June, and the second round to be played on the 22nd of June. If you have entered this competition, please play on the days scheduled in the draw. I hope you all enjoy your golf this weekend. |

Driving Range – Member Safety
|
Staff have noticed driving range users being in front of the hitting area when others are also using the range. Whilst we know some members are assisting us with ball collection, particularly from the rough areas where our ball-picker can’t go to, safety is paramount so ball collection when the range is in use is forbidden at all times. Also, a timely reminder that only the Clubs range balls should be used on the range and these need to be paid for. Any member or guest who is seen collecting balls from the range for their own use and/or taking range balls to their car for future use will face consequences, including a potential ban from the range. |
