With a couple of changes taking place, we thought it might be a good time to review the responsibilities of the Captain, remembering that we are all captains every 4 or 5 rounds:
- Get a scorecard from the Starter at the first hole.
- Record the Tee-Off Time on the top of the card.
- Write last names of the players on the card.
- Record what TEE they are playing from (only if different from their normal tee). ie: on Friday Doug Cossar played from the Reds and usually plays from the whites, and the captain recorded that on the card.
- If everyone has arrived, Tee-Off when ready. However, If you are missing a player that hasn’t cancelled, WAIT until your tee time so they don’t get stranded.
- On MONDAYS, circle the player’s shot if they are Closest to the Pin on any of the Par 3 holes.
- Record everyone’s scores and total the card. It’s probably best if you confirm the scores with the players. (Don’t worry about handicaps)
- Take the lead in maintaining the “pace of play”. A simple way to do that is to ensure that you can alway see the group in front of you.
- Have fun out there and then bring the scorecard to the Patio area and put it in the Ziplop Bag hanging on the notice board.
- Buy yourself a drink…you will have earned it.
