This post has now been reviewed by the committee and will take effect from Feb 2023.
The TAGS committee met on Tuesday 31st January to review the society’s finances for 2023, in light of the decisions made at the AGM.
The conclusion was that the recommended course of action is:
Monthly Stableford – last Saturday of the month
- Green fees for the monthly competitions held on a Saturday will remain at £40 per competition.
- Members subscriptions will remain at £10 per month where there’s a Saturday competition.
- Guests with a bona fide handicap will be allowed to enter the monthly competition if they pay the £10 equivalent of the member subscription.
- Both members and guests playing handicap will be the lower of the player’s WHS handicap or a previously held society handicap.
Captain’s Day and Weekend away
- Members will pay the amount charged by the club plus a contribution towards the prizes on the day.
- The results of these competitions are not included in the yearly competitions.
