Starting Monday, July 9, 2018, the following will be implemented at our training facility:
Own balls must be used for:
The putting green
Putting greens
Par 3 course
The use of range balls in these areas is only permitted in connection with training with our pros or by arrangement. In such cases, the balls must be collected immediately after training.
In addition, on a trial basis, permission will be given to practice chipping on the new putting green at the driving range.
Signs with supporting text have been posted.
Supervision and enforcement of the rules will be carried out by our pros and other employees.
Background: The introduction of the new rules is due to the fact that the use of range balls in training areas other than the range has taken over to a negative extent. Balls disappear or lie uncollected. Many hours are spent in advance on keeping our training facilities neat and tidy. The club wants the training facilities to appear in the best possible condition and as conducive to good and effective training as possible for the next person who wants to use them.
Thank you in advance,
As of 9th July the rules for use of practice facilities are:
You have to use your own golf balls when using:
The Chip and pitch green
The putting greens
Par 3 course
The use of range balls on these areas is only allowed when training with our pros. After training the balls must be collected directly after your training has ended.
On a trial basis we will allow chipping to the new putting green behind the driving range. We've setup signs underlining the guidelines for use.
Our Pro's and other staff will enforce these rules.
The reason: The use of driving range balls on our practice facilities has shown us that many golf balls disappear and don't get removed after use. We spend a lot of hours keeping our training facilities nice and tidy, why it would be perfect if the facilities were always ready for the next player wanting to use them.
Thank you,
