All members
This coming Saturday is the opening game of the year, our traditional Lakeball event. It is scheduled to be a warm day with around 41 Degrees forecast. We discussed whether we should postpone the event however, have agreed that the event should proceed, as scheduled. As you will know if you are registered, it is a shotgun start commencing at 8.30am with a simple lunch to follow. We are hoping that the game and lunch beats the heat and by the time it gets ‘hot’ you can be at home in the air-conditioning or sitting under a fan.
You will also hopefully know we revised our heat policy at the beginning of the 2019 season to move us from a position of cancelling events when the temperature was forecast at 40 degrees plus, to putting the onus back on members for self care on very hot days.
For Saturday’s game please re-read the guidance statement on this topic and take the necessary precautions…….lots of water, hats and /sunscreen. In other words, if you are planning to play, take care of your health and look after yourself. Remembers there are a number of water bubblers on the course.
Finally, remember at the end of the game a light lunch will be served which we, the Committee, would like you to join us for.
All the best for 2020 and good golfing.
Richard Oliver/President.
