In a continuing attempt to address the issue of slow play the Committee has resolved to trial a one time shot gun start on Saturday 20 June 2009. Generally our experience has been that shotgun starts tend to get the field moving at a better pace and prevent the clogging at choke points for example at 7.
The other consideration is that we are currently in the middle of the frost season and by delaying the start to 11.00 we anticipate being able to get more players around 18 holes in the limited time available as a we approach the shortest day. A by-product is that hopefully we will have a good turnout in the clubhouse after the round. I can confidentially say there will be at least two fires burning!
We accept that an 11 start may not suit everyone but we would be pleased to receive any feedback from members positive or otherwise. So if you have a view raise it with me or a committee member. Your support in this venture would be greatly appreciated.

Good idea Simon...seeing that the match of the day is a stableford over 3 grades, would there be any thought in also running a best ball stableford for the day?...could be as simple as $1 per player entry with the winning team scooping the pool which would be around the $90 - $100 mark.
