PortersNeckTeeTime

ETIQUETTE, PROCEDURES & GUIDELINES

Etiquette: Tee time etiquette is just as important as golf course etiquette and there is more to managing your tee time than just booking that time With our course being so busy, it is important that the member making the tee time reservation take ownership of that time Here are a few things that can be done to make sure your tee time is well managed:

Book tee times when you plan to actually use them, not as an option to play

Only use names of members that are planning to play It is understandable that names may change between when the reservation is made and when actual play takes place

However, correct names should be designated for all tee times no later than 48 hours prior to scheduled play If you don't know who will play, do you need the tee time?

Manage the time! If players change or drop off, make those changes accordingly If you have only 3 players, make sure there are only 3 names on your time This will allow other members to possibly find a game

Make sure all of your players are aware of the correct time On day of play, all players must check into the pro shop at least 10 minutes prior to start of play

Cancellation of tee time reservations should be made as soon as it is known the time is not needed

Guidelines&Procedures

· All players must have a starting time reserved through the PNCC Pro Shop or the PNCC on-line reservation system.

· Members may reserve tee times up to 7 days in advance for Tuesday – Friday and on Wednesday prior for Saturday and Sunday primarily via the online tee time reservation system It is also possible to reserve tee times by phone or in person at the Pro Shop

· Failure to check in and register with the Pro Shop at least 10 minutes prior to a reserved starting time may face cancellation or set back

· Players who fail to cancel their reserved starting time at least 1 hour prior to the reserved time may be charged a "no show" fee in an amount to be determined by the Club

· If you experience problems with the On-Line Tee Time Reservation System, please record as much information as possible about the problems you experienced and forward them to the PNCC Head Golf Professional

Through a series of nurturing poses and mindful breathing, you will cultivate a profound sense of inner peace while allowing your body to gently unwind and rejuvenate. Let go of the stress of daily life as your surrender to the soothing embrace of stillness and find solace in the sanctuary of self-care.

This practice also includes loving, supportive and therapeutic Thai massage assists during the poses to melt into an evening of renewal, deep mental and physical rest.

CANCELLATIONPOLICY

To ensure that our camps are of the highest quality, we plan, schedule activities, and hire staff months before camp begins Families typically book their camp months in advance Therefore, last minute cancellations are difficult for us to fill since most campers have already made other arrangements

Consequently, a cancellation fee of 50% of camp fee will be charged to your member account if you cancel any time after the Thursday prior to the start day of your camp session.

If you need to change dates (and space is available in another session during the current season) there is no fee
