SLOW PLAY AT NORTH-EAST ALLIANCE COMPETITIONS

E-mail from Willie McKenzie

Regards the slow play in Wednesday's North-east Alliance competition at Montrose, a couple of things might help keep play flowing - 10min intervals between tee times and players observing the commonsense approach of if you are in doubt about your ball being in trouble, reload instead of searching for 5min and then walking back.
When we arrived at the third tee at Montrose, there were 15 golfers on or around the tee waiting to play.
I suggested to one group "When you reach the green, mark your ball and allow the next group to tee off. This should help speed play up a bit."
But he just looked at me as if I had two heads and walked away.
Montrose was a joy to play, a quality track. And a wee word for the two Daves (joint secretaries Wilson and Mackay),  they do a great job, so the players should do all we can to help everyone to enjoy playing in the Alliance.
