Under Starters Orders<br />
As we move towards the playing season the Match &<br />
Handicap committee have provided some useful<br />
information for all of our members participating<br />
competitions that run via the start sheet.<br />
Key items to remember<br />
1. The competition ballot is 4 weeks before the actual<br />
competition. You have to register on the computer<br />
in the hallway.<br />
2. You will be notified by email of your start time, if you<br />
haven’t registered an email address with the club<br />
then please do so, this will speed up your booking<br />
process and you will receive other useful information<br />
about your golf club.<br />
3. If you find you cannot make your tee time then you<br />
must remove your name from the draw or inform the<br />
professional before the competition, this will allow<br />
reallocation of your tee time to other members on<br />
the waiting list. Failure to notify the professional may<br />
result in suspension of your entry for the next<br />
competition.<br />
4. You must also book into the competition a minimum<br />
of 20 minutes before your tee time. Failure to do so<br />
may result in you losing your tee time.<br />
5. Finally, by following these simple tasks will result in<br />
a smooth starting process and make for a great start<br />
to your round.

If there was ever a<br />
time to think about<br />
your golf<br />
management. This<br />
would have been a<br />
good time.<br />
Anyone for golf.<br />
Lee Trevino always advocated to hold a 1 iron in the air as<br />
god could not hit a 1 iron.<br />
He was struck by lightening twice in his career., he must<br />
have used a hybrid!<br />
