Pace of Play

Members are reminded that the Club employs the Verifeye (bag tag) software to assist in managing Pace of Play at the Club. This software provides management with a daily report, from which slow play letters are sent to groups finishing more then 15 minutes behind the group in front.

To-date, nearly 100 letters have been sent to members since the start of October, reminding them of the Club's expectations with regards to Pace of Play. In particular, that early groups complete their rounds in 3 hours 40 minutes, so that the last competition group can complete their round in 4 hours 20 minutes. In order to make this process as accurate as possible, members who have yet to collect their Verifeye bag tag are encouraged to see the Pro Shop staff. 

In general, the Pace of Play at the Club is quite good, with the below graph showing the average Pace of Play for the field each day last week:

Tee Renovations

Further to our last edition of the eNews, the 6th and 9th tees have now been re-turfed by the course team and have commenced growing in. Both of these tees experience significant periods of shade throughout the day, which hinders growth and recovery. It is hoped that with the continued good growing conditions, these tees can be returned to play by the end of summer. Hole 2B will continue to be in play, during the time necessary for the new turf to take hold.

Hole Indexes

At the recent meeting of the Match & Greens Committee, the playability data for all three courses (Black, Blue and White) was presented and reviewed.

There were some minor discrepancies between the difficulty of some holes and how they are rated and as such, new course ratings will come into effect from February 1st, 2024.

These new indexes will reflect the difficulty of each hole over the past 12 months and should ensure they better reflect the true difficulty of each hole.
