Winter Golf
With the shorter days that winter brings we need to be aware of a few key issues:

Pace of Play - during winter the time sheets are shortened to ensure that everyone finishes in the daylight.  This unfortunately means less members are getting a game in the competitions.  All golfers need to make sure they keep up with the group in front and not just on the last few holes but from the first hole. If pace of play is good we can add a few extra groups to the sheet, enabling more members a game. You need to ensure that you are ready to go when your name is called to the tee, not still having a drink or putting.

During winter, especially with the earlier groups we need you to Grab & Go at the halfway bar.  Please don't sit if the 10th tee is free. If the earlier groups take too long it effects the later groups and backs up play.

Late cancellations - late cancellations, especially on Saturdays continue to be a problem. In fairness to your fellow members please organise your groups earlier in the week and make changes as soon as possible to allow hose on those on the waitlist to get a game. There is nothing more frustrating than having a full sheet on a Friday night only to see 8-10 fewer spots on the Saturday.

Course Care - with the slower growth during winter, may I please ask all members to make sure you fix your divots and pitch marks. Also rake the bunkers if needed for the next players coming through.
