Saturday Booking Procedures

Over the last couple of months, we have been fortunate to have full fields on Saturdays, especially with the cold winter mornings the last few weeks. As we have mentioned in a previous newsletter, the winter tee sheet does limit the tee-off times, as we need to cut some of the early and late tee-off times due to bad light. This has come with a lot of challenges, especially to accommodate the requested times on a Saturday. We had a very good meeting within the department and we will be implementing the following changes to the booking procedures for a Saturday. Please take special note of the requested times in the information below:

We continue to look at ways to improve our interaction with members. We have found that email is members’ preferred means of requesting tee times. We have three ladies managing the bookings, Gugu Sikhosana, Nokuthula Dlamini, and Simphiwe Simango. Unfortunately, they do work on a rotational basis, which means that they will not be able to deal with your booking if they are off on a weekend. To ensure that this process is managed properly we request that all three ladies be included in the email(s), as well as the golf director, Rikert Schalkwyk. This will ensure that the person on duty is able to assist, on time.

• Early requests for bookings for Saturdays, AM, and PM, will henceforth have to be submitted by email. You are requested to indicate your preferred tee-off times in your email(s).
• All booking emails must be sent to Rikert Schalkwyk at golf@randpark.co.za, and to all three booking ladies at enquiries@randpark.co.za, admin@randpark.co.za, and golfadmin@randpark.co.za.
• Saturday AM bookings: bookings for the Saturday AM field may be sent from Thursday 12h00 onwards, i.e., 16 days prior to the requested booking Saturday.
• Saturday PM bookings: bookings for the Saturday PM field may be sent from Friday 12h00 onwards, i.e., 15 days prior to the requested booking Saturday.
• Booking requests will be addressed on a first-come, first-served basis. Any booking request that is received before the requested booking times (as above) will be moved to the back of the booking list.
• We can, obviously, not guarantee that your requested time will be available. We will, however, try to get you times in accordance with, or approximate to, your preference.
• Competing requests for particular tee-off times will be addressed as explained above. However, the Club reserves the right to apply a rotation of the prime times and the courses to attempt to ensure that everybody is treated fairly.
• Please also understand that the booking ladies do their best at all times to accommodate members, but they deal with a lot of bookings each week. We, therefore, request that you finalise your players, as best possible, at the time that you submit your booking request to avoid, as far as is possible, last-minute changes.

The Rules of Golf are covered in 24 simple rules. Yes, 24. That does not sound like a lot of rules, but I promise you it can get very technical, especially applying the correct ruling and penalty when it comes to a ruling. We have asked our members in the past to try some of the quizzes on the R&A website; they consist out of 18 questions (multiple choice) and three difficulty levels, beginner, intermediate, and advance. We would encourage you to test your knowledge by trying out the quizzes that are available. The R&A website also includes the option for any golfer to complete a Level 1 exam on the rules of golf. The programme will cover the basics of the rules of golf and after you have completed all your education, there is a 50-question test at the end. Pass the test and you will be rewarded with a Level 1 online certificate stating that you passed the test. It is very easy and free to sign up. There is no time limit to complete the 13 sections and can be done in your own time, however, the last exam does have a time limit of 60 minutes to answer 50 multiple questions. Take your time with the exam; the questions and answers can very tricky.

We are now well into winter and have the perfect solution for those chilly winter mornings and late afternoons. Come down to the Randpark Golf Shop on the 26th of June and join us for a day where we will be exhibiting some of our winter outerwear at great promotional prices.
