Club Noticeboard

TLGC's very own Head Professional, Tim Stevens, has recently been awarded with the TGI Award for 'Most Improved Business'.

I, on behalf of the club, would like to congratulate Tim on this achievement.

Well done Tim!  

The R & A has recommended a new local rule for implementation in 2017. It modifies rules 18.2, 18.3, and 20.1. Head Professional Tim Stevens explains:

"When a player’s ball lies on the putting green, there is no penalty if the player, his partner, his opponent, or any of their caddies or equipment accidentally moves the ball or ball-marker.
The moved ball or ball-marker must be replaced as provided in Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1.
This Local Rule applies only when the player’s ball or ball-marker lies on the putting green and any movement is accidental.
Note: If it is determined that a player’s ball on the putting green was moved as a result of wind, water or some other natural cause such as the effects of gravity, the ball must be played as it lies from its new location. A ball-marker moved in such circumstances is replaced."

BRS Tee Management Demonstration

The club will shortly be implementing BRS, a tee management software used to make booking tee times more transparent for all members. Bob King from BRS will visit the club to demonstrate the software. This will take place on Tuesday 7th February at 6pm and be held in the bar.

As all gentlemen members will know, sign-up for Saturday competitions take place on Friday evenings, from 6pm. For one week only, sign-up for the Gent's winter league matches to be played on Saturday 18th February, will now take place on Tuesday 7th February and NOT Friday 10th February.

Congratulations to the prize winners of the latest Seniors Winter Series.
