I talked with Eric on Wednesday about the problems we have been having (over the last few years) from the league behind us. I let him know that as President I will not stand for having any Golfette wanting to quit because of rudeness from another league.
I explained that we have cleared up the mistake regarding our tee time which is from 4:45-5:20. LOTE start at 5:25pm and it's important that we NOT let them get away with teeing off early. As long as we tee off by 5:20 there is NOT a problem.
If you feel uncomfortable saying anything to them, call the clubhouse from your cellphone or call me and I will call.
I did let Eric know that we have proactively taken steps in the last few years to alleviate slow play but that now is the time for courtesy and etiquette to be extended to us in exchange.
Specifically we have done the following:
decreased to 3 ladies per group rather than 4,
play ready golf rather than "honors",
mix cart players with walkers,
One tip that I read while making up the tip sheet that I think we can work on, is to not wait quite as long for the ladies ahead of us to clear before we hit. Of course it's possible that we may land near someone but sometimes we may be overestimating what our final result will be. If the ball does end up looking like it will be going toward someone, we can always yell, "Fore".
There are some other great tips but for the most part I feel we are doing those.
Eric has agreed to speak to the LOTE and may have already done so.
Just to make sure everyone has a copy of the tips and has time to read them over, I will be mailing a copy to the ladies that play at night and will leave copies if any of the morning ladies would like one.
Any questions? Feel free to leave in comments, call me or email.
