Following are important updates regarding the range facility and its use:
1. New Range Mats: We bought 18 new mats of exceptional quality - 9 special training mats that will make it easier for you to practice the SETUP and swing, and another 9 mats that feel like real grass with the option to use your own tee in addition to a rubber tee. The date of arrival of the mats at the club, together with additional equipment, is subject to delivery times from the USA.
2. Starting next Monday, the hitting stations on the range will be placed on the lower level, in order to allow you to hit from the grass while the maintenance team takes care of the upper level and prepares it for the future.
3. 10,000 new CALLAWAY practice balls were ordered through the club's Golf Shop. Here, too, the arrival date depends on production and shipping times that, due to the Coronavirus, are still delayed compared to the normal times. We will update later on the expected arrival.
And one last and especially important issue!
Unfortunately, we are increasingly encountering a serious and unacceptable offense by club members in connection with the use of training balls at the club. Not just at our club, but all over the world, balls must not be taken outside the range. The following are prohibited:
· Using training balls to play on the big course;
· Using training balls for a game or training on the Par-3 course;
· Storage of training balls in private golf bags and / or lockers. Please note: Even if you have not finished hitting all the balls you took out of the machine, do not take the remaining balls with you. You must leave them on the range.
After a number of cases in which club members have been warned, we announce that any member who removes training balls from the complex in the manner mentioned above is expected to be automatically suspended from the club for two weeks.
Please follow the simple rule of not removing balls from the range so as to help us avoid the unpleasantness involved in enforcing the issue.
