Late last year, the Club commenced a trial offering male Members the option to play from forward tees during the Wednesday Medley Competitions. This initiative has been positively received, with approximately 10% of participants on average electing to play from the forward tees.
Following the success of the trial, the Club is pleased to announce the extension of this multi-tee option to additional competitions held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This will come into effect from Sunday June 1st.
At present, the multi-tee option is limited to male Members, as current course infrastructure does not yet support a viable forward tee alternative for female Members. However, with the recent construction of new tee blocks, we are confident that updated course ratings will allow us to expand this offering to both male and female Members in the future.
We encourage those who may find the course increasingly challenging to consider this alternative as a means of enjoying a more manageable and less demanding round, while continuing to compete in the same competition field.
All tee blocks will be integrated into a single competition draw. Members seeking a less strenuous round are welcome to select the shorter tee position, whilst still competing in the field.
Important Update on Registration Process for Forward Tee Participants:
For Members choosing to play from forward tees, a revised registration process will apply:
- All players will initially be registered in their respective competitions based on the Blue Tee setup, and daily handicaps will be calculated accordingly.
- Members wishing to play from forward tees must notify the Golf Shop upon check-in. Staff will then adjust the player’s daily handicap to reflect the change in tee position.
- Please note that moving forward to a shorter tee will result in a reduction to your daily handicap to ensure competitive equity with those playing from the Blue tees.
We thank all Members for their continued support and look forward to your participation in this expanded initiative.
