LADIES...the Committee has been approached by several players to ask if a Draw can be done for the Winter League. The reason for the request is that ladies who have distances to travel are finding they may have to leave the house about one hour to 45 minutes before the Draw in the Locker Room and if they are drawn last, they then sit around the Locker Room for an hour or more, before playing 12 holes. Some ladies have said they feel the amount of time spent to play 12 holes isn't worth it.
We appreciate that it is handy/convenient to look at the weather and be able to decide on the day if you want to play or not, so, after consulting ladies who play Winter League, we are going to have a trial period when a Draw will be done,
BUT you can still turn up on the day.
From
Friday 15th November the Winter League arrangements will be :
You can sign up on line until 10.00 am on Thursday and a Draw will be made by the Office and posted on the Club Website.
If you decide
ON THE DAY you want to play, just come to the Locker Room and a Random Draw will be made for ladies playing after the Official Draw. A Committee Member will be there, so you are guaranteed a Partner. Depending on numbers the Draw for the "on the day players" will be done by picking a card.
This arrangement is being tried to encourage more ladies to play Winter League, especially those who have quite a way to travel to the Club.
We shall review these arrangements at the end of December.
