Let me apologize in advance
for the "BOOK" of a message that follows .... but it had to be
done.
😵⛳
Hi again
ladies!!! I hope you and your family are all doing well and staying
safe. Well, I think it's finally time to start our golf league!!
YAY!!!!! I am so ready. Our first official day of
league golf will be Wednesday, May 6th!
Mike has worked closely
with the Davis County Health Department and has taken many mandatory steps to
ensure our safety. Still, if you feel that it is too soon for you to
start, we totally understand. I went out last week and felt very safe, and
honestly, the outdoors, the sunshine, and having a golf club in my hand really
lifted my spirits. It's so easy to get depressed during this scary
time.
However, after discussing
many things with Mike and my board, we have decided that there are going to
have to be some changes this year .... at least for now.
* We have decided that there will be no ringer book this year. There are
still clubhouse restrictions, and we are trying to make everything else work
with the new requirements. The ringer book is just one thing we can't
make work this year. With social distancing, and trying to keep things
sanitized, we just think we will all be much safer if we just skip it this
year.
* At the current time, there will be no closest to the hole each week. We
can't have everyone touching and moving the marker all over.
* We will have to do things a little differently this year with turning our
scorecards in at the end of the round. Just inside the front door of the
clubhouse, there will be a big table. On that table will be a sign
announcing the play of the day. We ask that only one member of your group
come inside the clubhouse, if at all possible, and pick up a scorecard and a
green sheet for each player. Then, when the round is over, before going
inside the clubhouse, each person will fill out their green sheet. Then
one person of the group will take the scorecard and all the green sheets
inside, will staple them together, and put them in the glass jar. This
will minimize the amount of time anyone will have to spend inside.
* There will be an updated handicap sheet posted on the front door each week,
so ladies can check their handicap without going inside the clubhouse.
* Everyone must make their own tee time in advance, via phone. You can
only make reservations two days in advance. So you will need to call on
Monday to make your Wednesday tee time.
* The play of the day fee is $4 again this year. When you call to make
your tee time, you will need to give your credit card info to the clubhouse to
pay your weekly dues ... you can also pay for your golf at that time.
Mike is charging everyone the senior rate at this time. So with a cart,
it will cost you $40 to play 18 holes or $20 to play nine. Mike will
figure out a way for you to use your punch pass, if you'd like. Or, you
can just pay with your credit card, when you pay the $4, and save your punch
pass for when things get a little more normal.
Just a reminder ... Mike
worked closely with the Health Department to ensure the safest environment for
all of us. So here are the current rules at the golf course:
- Tee times are 10 minutes a part, to allow for better social
distancing.
- No cash is accepted at this time.
- The Pro shop will be closed to the public, except for the bathroom.
- Only one customer at a time will be allowed in the clubhouse.
- Cafe will have a limited menu. They will deliver to you at the turn or
outside on the patio. (Credit Cards Only)
- Flag Sticks must remain in the hole.
- No rakes in sand traps. Play preferred lies (one club length).
- There will be no ball washers on the course.
- The on course bathroom will be open, but please take precautions when using
it. They will be disinfecting it once per hour.
- One rider to a cart (unless living in the same household).
- Golf carts will be disinfected and sanitized after each use.
- Please help by emptying your cart of all trash.
- Please be safe and practice sound social distancing.
- If you have any symptoms of a cold or virus - STAY HOME!
