Dear Members,

We would sincerely like to thank all members for the way in which they have respected the booking conditions to date. It has ensured that everybody who has wanted to, has been able to enjoy a number of rounds this week. The booking process for the next period of 7 days will remain the same as is currently in operation. You can make up to 3 bookings initially in this seven day period.  Once again when you have used your three bookings if there is space on the timesheet on any given day at 7.45am you may book an extra round for that day only. Can we remind all members to continue to replace divots and repair pitch marks. We have received various requests on numerous different topics and we are drawing up consolidated responses to these questions and expect to publish a more detailed roadmap early next week to cover the months ahead . We would ask your patience in this regard. In the meantime there will be no changes to the current procedures detailed below.
