4 — Friday, August 7, 1998 —- North Shore News Seymour play rules harsher than Northlands From page 1 “Peopie sometimes are that way (but) for every one that teels slighted by thar... there's probably a 100 that appreciate rounds that don’t take five or six hours,” said Craddock. He added the marshals are polite and are instructed to suggest slow golfers tee off trom a shorter distance. In extreme cases where golfers react angrily to the suggestions of the marshals, Craddock said 2 full refund is given. The treatment at Northlards is posh com- pared to the much harder line adopred at Seymour Golf and Country Club five years ago. As a result of ever-increasing round times the semi-private club introduced a four hour and 15 minute maximum per round. The only exception to the rule is groups who take longer but finish within five minutes of the group in front of them. To monitor the new regulation the club introduced a punch clock system that has play- ers punch in at the start and completion of every game. The system applies only to mem- bers of the club and is not in effect on Mondays and Fridays when the course is open to the pub- ic “It’s the best thing since sliced hread,” said club captain Tom Porteous who enforces the rogram. “It’s the overall feeling of the mem- ers that it’s great.” Golfers who take longer than the prescribed four hour 15 minute maximum are sent a “nice- ly worded” slow-play letter. “It’s just a warning to alert you: ‘hey, you guys were really slow’,” said Porteous. “Of course you” always get the response, ‘hey, it wasn’t me, it was Harry,’ but ] wasn’t there so all four guys get one.” The hammer comes down if a second offence is recorded within onc calendar year. It carrics a_penalty of suspended booking privi- leges for one week. An unheard of third infrac- tion carries “probably a month suspension,” said Porteous. “In this day and age you just can’t say I paid $40 and I want to play five hours. It’s just not fair to the others,” said Porteous. “Instead of dawdling, all you have to do is walk briskly.” HANS Brewer doesn't buy the assertion by Northlands Golf Course management that slower players, like he is, need to be hurried.
