Reduced Competition Games
While some 7 and 5 day members have the opportunity to play 4 times a week in competition, there are many members, who despite being in these categories, through work commitments and other circumstances can only play 2 days a week for example. With the difficulties of high demand and reduced capacity on the sheet, many of them are not able to book more than once every 2 weeks. This is not equitable and has already generated dissatisfaction and concern.
As a result, the Board has made a decision to temporarily modify access to play in competition as follows:
*7 day members (male and female) will be able to book in 3 competitions each week only.
*5 day members (male and female) will be able to book in 2 competitions each week only
While this is restrictive for some members who currently play more frequently in competition, it is expected that the result will increase availability of tee times for many members who currently are missing golfing opportunities despite all the changes we have introduced.
We would ask that if members currently playing in the busiest competitions, who are flexible with playing days, that they may consider playing on the less busy comp days . This would also reduce stress on the time sheets. Whilst encouraged, currently this is optional.
You can be assured that the frequency of play will be monitored by Management and the Match Committee while this restriction is in place. The monitoring of the sheets has commence as of Monday 11th May. If your name appears on the booking sheet more than the allotted allowances, you will receive an email notification. You will have 24 hours to remove the booking. The seven-day period of bookings will commence from Monday to Sunday. Please review your bookings for next week, if you have exceeded the modified allowance and remove yourself as soon as possible. |
