I haven’t bombarded you with emails over the past few weeks, because I feel that we have all had more important things on our minds, but we all look forward to getting back on the links at Falmouth and tomorrow morning that will happen. New rules of play We will have to follow many different rules and regulations, that have been laid out by David Hughes, the Club Committee, myself and all the Golf Industry partners. The main points being: - play in two person groups from the same household or with one other person or singles only - tee times must be booked via the online system through the Club Website or by phone to the Pro Shop on 01326 311262 - ( no one can just turn up to play ) - members can only play twice a week This will effect how we play golf for a while longer, but after the extremely tough winter weather and then being taken over by COVID-19, it has been the strangest time in our lives for many, many years. For further and full info, please revert to the original email or any further email received from David Hughes. Raffles and draws We all missed golf over an amazing Easter Weekend, this was my first full Easter Weekend off in the 33 years that I have been in the golf trade and the longest time spent away from the game. Although I spend a lot of time in the shop and don’t play as much as I would like to, it’s quite surprising how much I’ve missed seeing you all around the club and the banter between everyone. When I bumped into someone at the supermarket ( not literally, I may add ) they said this is what retirement is like. But I do hope to play some golf then! With the Masters golf tournament, supposed to have been the first golfing major of the year over the Easter Weekend, we were all looking forward to the golfing season really kicking off. Any of you who purchased raffle tickets for the draw, this will be carried over to the new date in November. We will also running these draws for the US Open and USPGA Champs, but sadly we’ve all seen that the Open Championships have been postponed till 2021. Shop opening The Pro Shop will be open from 7.45am tomorrow morning, to assist with managing the social distancing matters and tee times. For now, the Pro Shop will be open, but all sales will be done from the door of the shop, and all payments made via contactless payments, which are now up to £45.00. For all other larger purchases, this can be made by BACS. As I’ve said above, the Pro Shop will not be available to access, so although this will be a tiny bit frustrating for everyone, I would like to get back to providing some sort of service to you, the members. The shop will not be running at full working hours quite yet and this is due to a reduced staffing level. I thank you for taking the time in reading this email and let’s all get back to what we enjoy playing golf and seeing our golfing friends from afar and keeping the Social Distancing at this time. Keeping you safe When we can open for you, we will be operating on a one in / one out basis, this is because the Pro Shop is very small and confined. Your safety is still paramount to us and we will have a sneeze screen in place around the till area and I will be insisting that all staff serve customers with face masks and gloves. We will ask you what you will require and then selecting it for you to collect, therefore minimising touch as much as we can. If anyone requires any clothing, gloves, etc. to try on, this item, if not the correct size or style will then be placed in the back store for a period of 72 hours until it can be put back onto the shop floor. We would ask that if you would like to look at any golf clubs, these will be handed to you with us wearing gloves and would be sanitised before and after using wipes. We are aiming to make everything as safe and secure for you while this difficult period is still ongoing. If you require any items before you start playing tomorrow and would like them sorted out beforehand, then please email my main Pro Shop email address, which is - falmouthproshop@hotmail.co.uk Regards Nick, Debbie, Rob and Scott Pro Shop Special Offers - Srixon Golf Balls Srixon AD333 in White or Yellow - Normal Dozen Price @ £22.50 - Get Back to Golf Offer @ £17.50 per dozen Srixon Soft Feel in White or Yellow - Normal Dozen Price @ £22.50 - Get Back to Golf Offer @ £17.50 per dozen Srixon Distance in White only - Normal Dozen Price @ £12.00 - Get Back to Golf Offer @ £9.00 per dozen
