Lunch time ballots seem to be causing some confusion and the following will hopefully clarify the situation.
If you intend playing in the lunch time ballot, you should notify the pro shop. A ballot will take place, the silver players going out first followed by the bronze, as has always been the case. This is not a time sheet. The advantage of contacting the pro shop is that you will be able to find out if anyone else is playing in the afternoon. If not, you at least have the opportunity to try and get a playing partner. This arrangement is not ideal, but depleted player numbers make it the best option. The afternoon ballot should be the norm but does not preclude anyone wishing to play 'by arrangement' if they find their circumstances make this impossible. We are trying something new and often change takes time to get used to. I feel we have to give this a reasonable trial period. We no longer have committee member numbers to accommodate the previous procedure.
