Club Update

Good Morning Members,

We are in the process of gathering up a few important notes on the new world handicap system and hope to have this send out to you at some stage today. 

Please see below a few other points which we need all members to please adhere to. 

• You must pay your competition entry fee before you begin your competition round. Any payments made after you have began your competition round will result in a disqualification from the competition. 

• Please pay for the correct week. 

• When entering for multiple members please only enter their full name/names separated by a comma. Please do not enter nick names or any made up joke names where it requires a lot of chasing to find out who “Mr 4 putt is” Failure to stop this will result in disqualification. 

• You must enter your score on howdidido.com after your round. Continuous failure to do so will result in disqualification. Please note that score entry on howdidido only opens on the Saturday of the competition. 

• You must email a copy of your score card after your round to silverwoodgolfclub@gmail.com. Failure to do this will result in disqualification for non return of score card. 

Please understand that because of these new systems for score entry, payment & emailing your score card the work of the Match & Handicap committee has more than trebled in the last 6 months. If 1 person forgets to pay, 1 person forgets to enter their score online and 1 group doesn’t email a copy of their score card this results in a string of phone calls, texts & emails to chase down the member to get to the bottom of the situation. 

Also the Golf & Ski Centre Café is still open if we can look to support the café as best we can in these circumstances. You may phone in your order to collect before or after your round by calling 02838326606. 

Please also see below links for information on the new world handicap system. Data from our mail last week shows that less than 50% of members clicked on any of the links. It is so important that you make some form of effort to familiarise yourself with this new system before it goes live on the 2nd of November. 

Again if there is anything we can do please let us know.

Many Thanks
Silverwood Golf Club
