A Busy Period

It's a busy period here at Piltdown, with the Sussex Vets Championship over 2 days as well as the Mixed Open tomorrow. The summer is flying along, I can't believe it's August next week.

Hopefully you have managed to get out and play a few holes. I played twice this week, which is very unlike me, and I have to say I was delighted with the conditions out there. Having visited a few other courses in recent weeks, I felt that we were well ahead of them all - especially on greens, tees and approaches.

It's always tricky trying to balance members' need for tee times with competitions and events at this time of year, so I hope if you have tried to play, you have managed to be able to do so. We monitor this carefully, and looking at today's sheet, it is one of our busiest days ever. Apologies if you couldn't get the time you wanted, but rest assured we keep as many times free as we can.

A good example of this was yesterday when there were nearly 100 players applied to play in the Sussex Vets, but we asked the organisers to limit it to 69 players to enable us to get the tee back open as early as possible. Thanks as ever for your patience and understanding; it’s a juggling act, but one we take seriously to keep things fair and enjoyable for all.
