Dear members,
I hope that this email finds you well and that those of you who are getting out to play in Phase 2 this coming Saturday 13th will really enjoy it.
After play on the 13th June, 101 of the 122 members will have played leaving 21 members yet to play. Out of the 101 members who will have played:
29 members will have played 4 times
12 members will have played 3 times
22 members will have played 2 times
38 members will have played 1 times
In advance of the BRS system opening up for booking this evening I would like to let you know that each member can now only book for themselves and one other member. The rational behind this is to open it up to a larger group of people gaining access to the timesheet to book. Technically, leaving it as it was meant that 18 people could dominate the timesheet, although I don’t believe that was happening.
Some of you may not be aware of this but when you gain access in the timesheet to a particular time slot, you are blocking out the whole row/4 slots from anyone else accessing them at the same time. Therefore, could I ask that when you have made your booking that you exit the timesheet immediately so that the next person can access the row.
Commencing next Thursday, 18th June I have updated the BRS booking system to enable a wait list. This means that if you don’t get on the timesheet for the 27th you can join a wait list and as soon as someone cancel’s their booking the person on top of the wait list will automatically be moved into the vacant slot. I will send you more detail on how to operate this next week.
Out of our twelve new members this year only three of them managed to get 3 cards in for handicap before the lockdown. This leaves nine of them awaiting handicap. I am keen that they will be in a position to play in competition as soon as it opens up and so, in consultation with the Handicap Secretary, Maire Barrett, I have put in place an arrangement for the nine members to take a record their own score on their own notepaper. They will need the assistance of one of their playing partners to verbally agree with them their score after each hole. The new member will enter the score on their notepaper and at the end of play will sign and date the record. In place of the assisting playing partner signing the record they will take a photo of the record and send it to me via WhatsApp or email. The reason I am informing you of this is because you may be asked by a new member to be their assisting playing partner.
I have nothing further to add for now so fingers crossed the weather will be good on Saturday and happy golfing to everyone.
Best regards,
Paula
