In the last couple of years, courses we play have begun to state in their contracts that we must pay 10 to 7 days in advance of our outings. Courses are also requiring us to pay for "no shows" tee times. Since we do not have the money for handle some of these large sums, it has become imperative that we get all outings fees paid on or before the "Pay" date posted on the internal and external web pages.
Retirees can always send in their payment to:Golf AssociationP.O. Box 453Odenton, MD 21113If someone does not pay by the date listed and has not contacted either Pat or the Treasurer, or a building representative, their name will be WITHDRAWN from their tee time and replaced with someone from the waiting list. The person on the waiting list will be notified and given a time to pay that does not exceed two working days. So, in order to meet our obligations to the golf courses in a timely fashion, we must hold fast to the pay date with ALL members. We will enforce the rule that only personnel who are TDY or have emergency situations, can be exempted from paying on the date listed. However, this exemption must be approved by the President or Treasurer only.
Side Note: We have a great reputation within the golfing community and we want to keep the high esteem intact. The requirement spelled out above may cause some of us a little inconvenience but we can all work through it. If we all work together, we can make this very pain free. Lot of us play with friends and co-workers, so lets all work together on this.
Note from Bill Bennett - Not all members get these internal and external notices so please pass this information to your friends.
