Saturday Morning ‘Roll-Up’
STOP PRESS: The next date for Saturday morning roll-up is 18th September.
On Saturday mornings the first tee is booked from 8am to 8.30am for members to make up and play as they arrive. In other words, no booked games. This is an important way for members to mix and meet new friends. In particular, new members will find this arrangement beneficial. Importantly, all those turning up are guaranteed a game as the activity is overseen to create 3 or 4 ball groups as appropriate.
(’Roll-Up and Play’ does not apply on Saturdays when there is a Club competition.)
