New System for Game Bookings & Payments : 24th August 2006

Hi Champ & Gentlemen!!

We have thought of looking at various ways that can simplify processes within the club in relation to our games. This is what we want to implement with immediate effect starting from this weekend’s game at Ruimsig.

We will remind and notify you of the next game way ahead of time.
Deadline for confirmations will always be at least “3 Working Days” before the game.
All members who have confirmed will then be expected to Deposit their Green Fees into the Ambassadors Bank Account.
Then fax the proof of payment to the Captain before closure of business on Friday before the game.
Only those members who have paid their green fees and had faxed proof of payment to the Captain will be eligible to play.
On Friday morning the Captain will then send out the Pairings of the fourballs with Tee off times, etc.

NB: Then, (a) if you have not confirmed you will NOT be on the pairings, (b) if you have confirmed but did not pay green fees + fax proof to Captain you may not play, (c) if you did not confirm and you show up on Sunday at the game you will not be allowed to play, (d) if you confirm and not show up on Sunday for the game you forfeit your green fees and you get penalized. (CHECK THE CLUB RULES)

Reasons for the above changes are:

To minimize the admin work on the course.
To reduce or minimize the cash handling at the course
Some courses have and others are moving towards a cashless environment.
To allow members to arrive closer to their Tee off times as opposed to now where you arrive 45 – 60 minutes before your tee off time.

Lady and gentlemen, this is a very easy and simple process. If we can be disciplined and responsible enough to make it work, it will work.

So, here we go and let’s start right now. All those members who are playing at Ruimsig please deposit your green fees (R150.00) into the Club’s Account ASAP and fax me your proof of payment by no later than 12h00 tomorrow Friday 25th August 2006. My fax number is shown here below. The Club’s Account Number is:

Account name: Ambassadors Golf Club
Bank: Standard
Branch: Sandton
Branch code: 009205
Acc No: 428088368

YOUR COOPERATION WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED IN THIS REGARD.

Best regards,
Thomas Qhena.
Club Captain
