Random Irritations

Reading the timetable notice properly .. we are attempting from Monday to go full timetables again. Just wow hit the ground running

It won't work. Too many staff still isolating or shielding.

I hope it does work I really do but I think it's going to be chaos
 
It's the I'm alright jack mentality. Sadly prevalent everywhere

Indeed and I hate it. I'll sit tight and see what's what tomorrow and email the general manager. He did say there would be reports run to identify anyone block booking for their mates so hopefully to see if members are booking more tee times than they're entitled to will also be covered. No doubt they'll say they're members and it's their right.
 
Amazon. Mat due to arrive (originally via China as ordered in lockdown). Originally due on last week and had an estimated delivery of today (and strangely unable to track on Amazon) and no sign

its almost as if somethings going on that could delay the delivery of a bit of carpet to hit golf balls off from China, i wonder what it could be.......

Don't mind it being delayed but post realistic dates rather than plucking dates randomly and then putting "you should have already received your delivery as it was due today" on my account
 
After posting a "woo hoo tee time booked after work on Friday", in a period of reflection I've remembered it's the wedding anniversary ?
What is the saying - "it is easier to ask for forgiveness.."
?

Our's is set up to only allow you to make 1 tee booking every 12 hrs.
 
Council don't want to be upsetting the dog walkers who have been enjoying free reign over the place during lockdown...
We got a lengthy email sent late last night explaining things a bit more. In summary it says those running the course have to demonstrate that they are following the safety guidelines, and with it being council-run there are more hoops to jump through or something.

I think basically they just not at all prepared to reopen, whereas private courses have been preparing for this day for a week.

I've been walking over to the course on a fairly regular basis during lockdown... All the usual maintenance appears to have been ongoing and the course looks in good order... But, as you say, probably being council owned they are probably leaning to over cautious with H+S...
