Wet Weather Procedures for CartsMembers are fully aware that the course has received significant rainfall since November and the prediction is that the La Nina weather pattern will be with us until around June. This has forced the course to be closed at times and/or not to allow carts in an endeavour to protect the playing conditions of your course. As a reminder, if rain is predicted and/or it has been raining during the week, Members who utilise their own carts or hire a club cart should either a) check the website or b) call the golf shop prior to leaving home to ascertain whether carts are 'not allowed'. With the inclement weather still a real possibility over coming months, it is prudent that Members follow this avenue or there is a possibility that you may arrive at the Club and the 'NO CARTS' sign is displayed. This decision is always made early on any particular day and the website is updated immediately. It has also come to the Committee's attention that on occasions both Members and Non Members have verbally abused Golf Shop staff and Committee members for the "No Carts' decision. This has occurred simply because those Members and Non Members have not bothered to check the website and/or called the Golf Shop on the day. It is stressed that the Management Committee will not tolerate this type of aggressive behaviour towards our staff or committee members. If this occurs in the future those Members and Non Members will be dealt with in terms of the Club's Constitution and By Laws. Ian Britten Club Secretary |
