New Course Ranger Starts April 5th.

In an effort to enhance the enjoyment of playing your golf, it has been decided to employ a course ranger at weekends. The objective of the ranger is to assist all golfers to get around the golf course safely and within a reasonable timescale. Members are requested to turn up in good time to check in, prepare themselves for the 1st tee and cooperate fully with any instruction from the ranger. Slow play is not acceptable and consistent offenders will be sanctioned or asked to leave the course. Please remember your place on the course and avoid slow play at all times.

The Committees of Kilternan and South County have agreed to make the following changes for the weekend competitons to the end of March.

The competition on the Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th the format will be 18 holes single stableford for both clubs.

Paddys day, 17th of March, will now be a Semi Open, each member can book himself and up to 3 guests, booking open now.

The Easter weekend will be Semi Opens ie. Saturday, Sunday and Easter Monday. Each member can book himself and up to 3 guests. Booking will be available form Friday 14th at 1 pm.

Kind regards

Captains of South County and Kilternan Golf Clubs

Revised booking procedure in the South County Golf Club

The online booking in SCGC was introduced early February this year, and we believe it is safe to say that so far it has been a great success. However, we have gained some experiences that drive the need for some changes to the procedures communicated previous to the introduction of the Brsgolf system.

The following applies to both completion and non competition member’s tee times.

Late cancellations on the night before the day of competition lead to open slots – hence 3 balls and in some cases 2 balls are out on the course. Needless to say, with a majority of 4 balls out on the course a 3 ball will find pace of play quite slow. Late cancellations also prevent members who want to play from booking, because of very late opportunity to book online.

In order to rectify this situation the following new booking procedures will be introduced from 15th of March 2008.

· The Online Booking facility will be open to Members until 2pm the day before the day of play. (As an example, 2 pm on Friday for Saturdays competition) .

· The only way to cancel or change a booking after that time for the next day’s play, will be to ring the Pro Shop in the Club.

· The Pro Shop will operate a ‘first come first served’ waiting list for people who cannot get onto the sheet at their desired tee time interval. To get onto this waiting list, Members should ring the Pro Shop.

· After 2 pm on the day before a competition, the Pro Shop will fill up idle slots from the waiting list as they become available on a first come first served principle. The Pro shop will inform Members on the waiting list by phone as soon as they are allocated a slot.

· During the week before a competition, the members themselves can check the time sheet, and in the event that a cancellation happens they can put their name down online.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no change to the policy as regards to the booking procedures for Junior members i.e. they can continue to book from 2 pm on Thursday for Saturday’s competition, 2pm on Friday for Sunday’s competition, by phoning to the Pro Shop.
