Dear Members,In conjunction with last week's email announcement, we wanted to remind all of you about the changes in our club's golf operations starting this coming weekend:1. Tee Time RequestsWe’ve created a dedicated email account to handle all weekend tee time requests: [email protected]. -Moving forward, please use this email for electronic tee time requests as we want to funnel these emails to one main source. This will help eliminate any request being missed and ensure requests are seen and recorded. -Members can also continue to fill out a tee time card in person or call the Pro Shop to submit a request over the phone.For new members, and a refresh for current, weekend tee time requests are due by noon on Wednesdays. At which point, the Pro Shop Staff will gather all requests and then populate the upcoming Saturday and Sunday tee sheet.2. Check-In ExpectationsWe’ve noticed a trend: members are starting their rounds of play without checking in at the pro shop. Please be sure to check in with the pro shop before heading out. Tyler or the cart stand are not check-in points.This is not just for accountability, it’s a safety and security measure so our team knows who is on the course at all times.3. Use of GGID ScorecardsGoing forward, the pro shop will provide GGID scorecards for all Saturday & Sunday rounds. These cards offer multiple benefits:· Help us better track players on the course.· Automatically post scores to GHIN, helping maintain accurate handicaps.· And most importantly - track pace of play.We’ve seen weekend rounds averaging 4:15 to 4:20, and while delays happen, our goal is to bring 18-hole rounds closer to 4 hours or less. Golf Genius scorecards will timestamp the round of golf and this data will help ensure better spacing for all groups and a more enjoyable experience across the board. If certain players or groups are consistently taking longer, we may ask them to either adjust their pace or shift to later time slots.Implementation NotesThe Pro Shop Staff are on board and ready to assist with these transitions. *One challenge we foresee is groups changing last minute and the day of. To better assist you, please check-in upon arrival and before any warm-up is started. If there are any changes to your group, this will allow the Pro Shop time to adjust and recreate any scorecards.*These updates are being introduced with full support from the Board of Governors and our Golf Chair. The goal is to create a better experience for everyone and ensure consistency in our processes. We appreciate your cooperation and encourage you to reach out with any questions or feedback.Sincerely, Robert Leeman, Head Golf Pro - [email protected] Zach Caruso, Golf Committee Chair - [email protected] |
