Questions and Answers Here are answers to some of the regular questions TEE-TIME BOOKING Q: Do I need to book a tee-time when I want to play? A: Yes. Always book a time before coming to the course. Q: How do I book a tee-time? A: Either phone the Starter (01620 892726) or go to the Starter’s box. Q: How far in advance can I book? A: For weekdays (Monday to Friday) the Starter can usually help you up to two weeks in advance. Beyond that date make an advance booking with Rita in the Office. If you want to play at the weekend you cannot book until 08:00 on the previous Tuesday. If you are playing a matchplay tie it is possible to book in advance, please explain this when you are booking a time. CLUB INFORMATION Q: How do I know what’s going on at my Club? A: Notices covering course issues, social functions and general information are shown in the clubhouse near the bar. Competition draw sheets are shown in the respective locker rooms. The website is also an excellent way of keeping in touch with developments. We also have a number of binders located near the trophy cabinet which show the minutes of meetings, details of local Open competitions, our policy on the management of young persons and of course the suggestion book. Q: How would I raise any complaints, concerns or suggestions that I have to improve our Club? A: Issues which are straight forward and easy to resolve should simply be brought to the attention of a Member of staff who will be happy to help. Minor complaints can also be handled in this manner, although it is important to remember that a Member may never directly reprimand a servant or officer of the Club. More serious complaints should be made to the Office Manager. Whilst the Club Constitution highlights that all complaints must be made in writing, we would simply ask common sense to prevail. We continue to encourage Members to let the Management Committee have your views on any subject of importance to you. This is the only way that we can gauge your opinion of our running of the Club. The suggestion book should be used purely for constructive suggestions for the improvement of the Club. The Management Committee will debate these issues and respond accordingly. If your suggestion affects a larger group of people, such as the Juniors, Seniors or Ladies sections, then we would always encourage debate amongst the sub committees responsible for those sections prior to a submission to the Management Committee. HANDICAPS Q: I do not have a handicap. How do I get one? A: Play 3 rounds over this course and get the cards signed by a responsible person. Each card should be marked “FOR HANDICAP”, dated and signed by marker and player and passed to the Handicap Secretary (Men’s section) or placed in the box in the ladies locker room (Ladies’ section). If you have had a previous handicap you should notify the Handicap Secretary, even if this was some time ago. To maintain your handicap your should play in 3 qualifying competitions within the golf year which runs from 1 February to 31 January. Q: I already have a handicap, but with another club. Is this OK? A: Yes. Let us have a handicap-certificate and we will add you as an ‘away player’ to our records. You are then obliged to inform your home club of any competitive scores returned at this club. If you feel that you will play more competitive golf at this club, then you may wish to appoint the Glen as your home club. If so, please ensure you let your other golf club know that they are now your away club. Q: My handicap is lapsed. What do I do? A: You must play three competitive rounds each year to maintain a national handicap. If not, your handicap will lapse, which simply means that you can no longer compete, although you can of course continue to golf. If your handicap is lapsed, please simply return three more cards to our Handicap Secretary. COMPETITIONS Q: How do I enter a competition? A: The entry sheet is placed on the notice-board about four weeks in advance. Clearly write your name and handicap on the sheet provided. If the sheet is full, put your name on the reserve list. If you need to withdraw from the competition, please stroke through your name. Q: How do I know when I will be tee-ing off? A: The draw is made and placed on the notice-board about two days before the competition. It is also available on the Internet by going to the Members Secure Area then going to Competitions. A copy of the draw sheet is passed to the Starter so if you are unable to access your time on the Internet you should phone 01620 892726. Q: How much does it cost to enter a competition? A: Generally £1.00 - £2.00. This covers your entry fee, which is distributed to the winners in the form of vouchers. You may elect to enter the sweep and magic twos competition. This is entirely optional. N.B. If you don't sign the book you have not entered the competition and cannot win a prize! Q: I can’t make the competition: what should I do? A: Phone the Starter immediately so that we can find somebody to take your place and re-arrange the draw if need be. As a matter of courtesy you should also phone the members you were drawn to play with. If you withdraw from a medal after the draw has been made, you will have to pay a fine, which will be collected at the next medal. Q: What do prize winners receive? A: Vouchers are given as prizes – usually, for the Ladies section, 2 vouchers a scratch and a handicap for each division. These vouchers can be redeemed in the Glen Golf Shop. Q: What is the code for the toilet by the 9th hole? A: C1906X If there are any other questions that you may think would be beneficial on this page we would be grateful if you could pass your suggestions to a member of the ladies committee. |
