The time has come….. I am pleased to say that the time has come to reopen. It has been a long wait and I know you have all been itching to get out there! Thank you! Firstly I would like to thank all of the volunteers/marshalls for stepping up. We simply would not be able to open the course without you! The main reasons we need so many volunteers are: 1) The course has been used as a park by walkers over the past 7 weeks and they will want to keep doing the same unless told otherwise. The majority of them are not golfers so will need educating on the importance of staying to the public footpaths 2) We want to make the first tee/clubhouse area as safe as possible for all of you. By placing a volunteer at the bottom of the hill we will be preventing anyone who hasn’t booked from going up there 3) I will not be able to operate as a starter all day every day so we need some cover when I am not there.
What is happening with the shop? Is it opening? The government guidelines state that non-essential shops should not be open until 1st June and in line with that I am not going to be opening. There are some golf shops opening elsewhere but I feel this is too early. However, I will be acting as course starter from the door of the shop behind a screen so I will still be able to provide you with any golf equipment, clothing and accessories that you require.
I will always be available on my mobile number – 07951548042, giving you the option to pre-order over the phone too. There will be occasions when I am not going to be at the club in which case I can leave your goods with the stand-in starter for you to collect on arrival.
