Course Congestion
The Board has been considering a number of measures in an attempt to ease congestion at the busiest times and has been consulting with the various sections of the Club accordingly.
Wednesday has traditionally been a very busy day and we have been working with the Veterans to look at a number of measures. For example, we will compare diaries as soon as possible each year to avoid a clash of competition dates and, longer term (because of the involvement of other clubs), we are exploring the possibility from next year of their matches being scheduled on days/times when the course is less busy.
In the meantime, and starting from this Wednesday (27th January), the following has been agreed:
* Veterans competitions and matches, which are played on most Wednesdays, will start from the Ist tee only.
* They will have a reserved starting period on the 1st from 8.15 AM to 9.45 AM and a corresponding reservation two hours later on the 10th, ie 10.15 AM to 11.45 AM.
* The last group will inform the Professional's shop of the final time off the 1st, so that the 1st and 10th tees can be opened early if some of the reserved time is unused.
With the foregoing in place, groups of Members who regularly play later on a Wednesday can plan their starting times from the 1st accordingly.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank the Veterans for their approach in discussing this matter, which has been both constructive and helpful.
The Board is currently finalising some further 'anti-congestion' initiatives with the Junior Section and a notice will be posted shortly.
