Practise on the Course/Pitch Marks
Can I remind all members that it is NOT PERMITTED TO PRACTISE ON THE COURSE! Members should use the practise areas provided.
Also with the poor weather I notice there have been a lot more pitch marks than usual, can we please repair these as they happen.
"The average golfer leaves about 12 ball marks during a typical round of golf. With a daily average of 160 rounds on a typical golf course, the greens will suffer 1,920 ball marks each day and 58,400 ball marks per month equating to more than 700,000 ball marks each year."
In order to keep the greens as good as they have been we need these repaired.
Thanks for your support on this matter.

New Scottish Licensing Act - Efective from 1st September 2009
Members are reminded that ALL visitors to the club, including wives, husbands and partners, must be signed in through the Visitors Book located at the bar.
Members are required to remain in the company of the visitor. If the member leaves so does the visitor.
This is a legal requirement and failure to comply could result in the loss of our licence as Licensing Standards Officers have been appointed and can enter our premises at any time.
Bar and catering staff have been instructed and have the full support of the Management Committee in upholding these rules.

3rd and 15th Holes - Where has the common sense gone?
There have been several instances of disputes over priority at the above holes during general play.
At the 3rd tee the sign states that priority should be given to players on the 15th. However a degree of common sense is required when playing these holes.
1. If players are well across the fairway playing the 15th players on the 3rd tee must wait until all players are clear.
2. If players have teed-off at the 15th and have not gone past the line between the 3rd tee and 3rd green they should allow the players, if any, on the 3rd tee to play to save time.
