Hello from the golf shop. Peak season is here, and we’re looking forward to another busy year of golf. The golf courses are in spectacular shape, and it’s the responsibility of every member to do their part to keep it that way. You, as members, have made a great investment in your courses. So please make sure to fix ball marks, fill divots, rake bunkers, follow cart directional stakes, and all the other little things that will help keep the courses looking great.
I’d like to remind everyone that the Chelsea Tee Time System is now in Season mode (January 1 through April 15). Below is a brief list of how the system operates during season:
- Chelsea points are assigned to members bringing guests.
- Chelsea points will be as signed at the placement of tee times three day prior to the day of play.
- Once points are assigned, they will not be removed unless the golf course is closed for play.
- If a player is substituted in an assigned tee time; the player who is removed will retain their point from placement and the new player will receive a point as well.
- Any time booked on the tee sheet after placement, but before the day of play, will also receive Chelsea points.
- A member who fills a vacant tee time on the day of play, will not receive Chelsea points.
- Chelsea points will not be assigned for any tee time 2:30 p.m. or after.
- Abuses of the system will result in penalty Chelsea points assigned to your number, and may lead to suspension of golf privileges.
As stated, the above changes will be in effect for the time frame of January 1 through April 15 when demand for tee times is at its peak.
We will be hosting a Chelsea Seminar on Tuesday January 14 in the Clubhouse. I encourage anyone interested in the operation of the Chelsea system to attend. More details to follow.
One other important thing to keep in mind as season begins is PLAYING READY GOLF! As golf courses begin to fill from sunup to sundown, we all need to be aware of our time on the course. A round of golf is much more enjoyable when the pace is good. It is the responsibility of every player to maintain a good pace. We’ll be sending out periodic reminders throughout the season to keep this topic on everyone’s mind.
The entire golf shop staff are here to help, and we’re excited about another great season of golf.
