Re: Official Golf Thread

Out at 9.30 Monday in a three ball, with 14 minute intervals, and restricted to 9 holes per day max for the first week until the initial rush is over. You can book for either the front or back nine, and I reckon with the size and age profile of our membership we’ll be back to 18 holes in a week. Rea...
