MEETING WITH OLAGOLOLF
Graham and I had a meeting with the director of golf sales for Olagolf (Alfred Caparros) this week. He is trying to promote the use of the course and believes that this can be best be achieved through the society. He wants us to make contact with other societies to use Condado where they would benefit from our society prices. As Olagolf also own Mar Menor and Terrazza de la Torre we can also go there and play for our society price (30E at moment). Their members can also do the same at Condado.
A review of prices has taken place and reductions across the board are now available.
Society 30E
Residents 35E
Non residents 50E
2 sharing buggy 90E
4 sharing buggies 160E
Also looking at short term membership deals for 1, 3 and 6 months.
Packages of multiple rounds.
Twilight prices will apply from 1pm
This is good because it makes us competitive with other courses in the area.
Also although the course is in superb condition the surrounds have left much to be desired, but work has been done over the last month and weeds have been removed all around the course making it look much more attractive to visitors.
Hopefully the temporary clubhouse will be complete before October and will provide services at the moment lacking in the Al Kazar owned by Polaris World. There will be changing rooms, showers, a restaurant which will open early and provide breakfasts, snacks etc, 2 bars one for the public and one for the society/members. Prices will be more competitive than PW and service will be much better.
Buggies will now be allowed to access the fairways under the 90 degree rule.
Olagolf look to be doing everything in their power to make our Jack Nicklaus signature course a success. It is good that they are involving us (the society) in decision making as opposed to Polaris who did not communicate or act in the best interests of our members.
CAPTAINS DAY AUGUST 14th 2010
Plans are underway for our 1st major tournament – there will be a multitude of prizes funded by a 5E entry fee and sponsorship. There will be nearest pin, longest drive, 2’s comp etc. If anyone can donate a prize please contact me at www.barrybarker90@yahoo.co.uk
Anyone wishing to play contact me ASAP so we know how many tee times to reserve. I believe we will get a record entry of perhaps 80 players that week. (Note it is on a saturday). Also anyone wishing to help in some way (hand cards out, collect entry money, check cards, measure nearest pin, take photos etc will be most welcome.
The presentation will then be at the Clover in the evening followed by a great social night for players, partners and anyone else who wants to join us.
