March Update

Posted on 24/03/202131/03/2021 by greenacresgc

Tee Times

As you may be aware the Golf Centre have taken the decision to have two-balls at eight-minute time intervals. This means they meet the requirements of the protocol agreed by Golf Ireland with the Northern Ireland Executive and guarantees groups do not contain more than two households.

All tee times should be booked through the Golf Centre BRS booking system with each sheet going live eight days prior. With one exception, the Golf Club will continue to control the Saturday morning tee times.

Saturday Tee Times

The Golf Club will retain control of the Saturday morning time slots. While the Protocol dictates that groups should have no more than two household, we have decided to split our time sheet in two. With two members from each group playing nine holes on one course and the other two members playing the other nine holes.

The first start sheets will be published on howdidido at 11am 26th March and you can view the masters on the Saturday Arrangements post. Members are permitted to move between sheets. Also, on the day of the round members can switch courses but you MUST NOT go out in more than a two ball and you must play only the nine holes.

Members can not go out and play the other nine holes.

	Covid Sheet A	Covid Sheet B
3^rd April 2021	Course A	Course B
10^th April 2021	Course B	Course A

Course A	4-6, 15, 12-14, 17-18
Course B	1-3,7-11, 16

Competitions

The Club have decided not to have any competitions for the first couple of weeks for several reasons:

The protocol states: All golf activities should be organised based on arrival-play-depart without delay.
All the new tee boxes are not in play.
The Golf Centre must limit the number of members in the Club House

Members wishing to submit a score for handicap should contact Keith Hanna and he will inform you under what conditions a score can count.
