Monday 29th March

[Orikoru]

Weeks ago I signed the Parliament petition to allow safely distanced golf. Today I received an email from Parliament to say that they will discuss the petition on 22 March, even though it has already been announced that golf can restart a week later on 29 March. That debate will be a complete waste of time.

I think we all knew that signing that petition was a waste of time as well.

You have to try though. I think the whole Parliamentary petition thing is a charade and something of a sop ... I would be interested to know if they have ever changed anything as a result of the process.

They allowed Angling to return in lockdown Jan-March after a successful push back!

Playing in the seniors (semi) rollup. We have a block booking of tees between 8.20 and 9.10, senior captain then allocates players to each slot, to avoid too many players milling around.

how do you manage to get your club to allow you to pre book seniors?we have to go on line at the same time as every one and its fastest finger first...how can we compete with the young ones with iphone 13's?

Still no word from my current club on how and when to book tee times - anyone else in this stage of limbo?
I've already booked and been booked in to 5 games next month at my new club!

You only have 3 days there so not really a problem.

However great news with 5 games already booked for April. You must be really pleased after all the problems you had last year.

I can't wait! The course is 1.4 miles from my office and I usually finish work by 3.45pm - roll on the spring and summer. I've joined as 5-day initially but they are hopeful of an upgrade to 7-day during April when they've worked out all the comings and goings.

I'm not a member, but the course I am looking to play first has released zero details to anyone... Very odd as I've seen people chasing them on social media for answers, but it's just radio silence. I'm hoping that they will just open up booking 7 days in advance.

Club number 1 booking system: BRS, 7 days in advance with it opening up at 6:45pm (so opens up at 6:45pm on 22nd for the 29th)
Club number 2 booking system: BRS, 16 days in advance with with it opening up at 7am (so we’ve had a tee booked for the 29th since last weekend)

I was expecting it to be chaos at club number 2 with the booking that far in advance but it’s actually been ok, we have booked a tee for Good Friday only yesterday and there were plenty of tee times available - jolly good.

I feel for you here! I secure my tees within a minute of them going live - pretty much the only way to do it at my place!

I’ve joined Penrith as a 2nd club member. My handicap and most golf will be played at my home club but I work down the M6 a lot so plan to use Penrith as a weekday evening knock.

Logged on this morning at 7.05. Loads of times left, by 7.10 all but a few singles left.
Slotted in at 11.15. Lovely

Tee bookings for Good Friday opened this morning at 7am.

There had been a drop off in bookings Tuesday-Thursday of re-opening week, obviously people have booked off the Monday for the first day back.

7.12am - Good Friday fully booked out. Savage Im off at 11.34 though

 

[BubbaP]

Booking actually opened on the 4th, but only decided today to pile in on the 29th. Late morning tee sorted ?
Expecting a 'take in the views' kind of day, not a swift one!

I didnt want to appear desperate to play immediately when we open on the 29th, so I delayed the first booking until 9.20 am

 

[Deleted member 23344]

Our bookings for the 29th went live at 7am this morning. I was online at 7am when booking started and clicked a time of 8am, but it said “sorry, someone has just booked that”. The same happened for 9am and 10am etc. Each tee time I clicked was grabbed by someone a millisecond before I clicked. In the end, after losing out several times, I got 2.52 ... the clocks go forward that weekend, so we might just get a round in. All the tee times were gone in under a minute!

Thats unfortunate, one of those situations where its probably best to go for some obscure time straight off the bat eg 7:46 or suchlike.

Ours go live at midnight Monday. Hoping there won't be too much of a fight for the 15.30ish time I'd like.

Booked in for 11.40 on the 29th with a couple of mates ?
