This last week (and possibly next) will forever be known as 'car park week' by everyone who has experienced the carnage of having to park halfway to Canterbury to play at Chestfield. However, it was always going to be a very necessary evil and now it is more or less done it really does look like a major improvement to the club.
Part of the work was also to lay a proper golf buggy car park which has been needed for some time. The clearing of the small tree/bush and pampas grass really has made an amazing difference to that area which now looks much cleaner and surprisingly large.
It was only fair that the buggies I have to supply (it might interest some of you to know it is a necessity of my contract and not voluntary that I supply a buggy fleet) should look as good as the area they are now parked in. So you will now see we have five new electric EZ-GO buggies in place - as pictured here. These are not just pretty but they are also practical, especially at Chestfield, as they feature limited-slip differentials which means the wheels will not spin when our course gets a little damp.
This should protect the course from unnecessary damage and hopefully in the long-term mean they can be used for a longer portion of the year. In view of this, from this moment on we are also going to start a new 'loyalty scheme' for buggies. In short, for every six buggies you rent you will then get one round FREE (if it works for McDonald's it must be a good idea). This will be available to members and visitors but the rate each pays is slightly different:
Our standard price for members is £20 while visitors pay £25
After 2pm on any day members pay £15 and visitors £20
So now you are getting an even better deal. All of our buggies are covered by service guarantees so you are assured of their reliability and four of them have bag covers, ball washers and club cleaners. It really does make a round an even greater pleasure so you now have even more reason to make use of our fleet. It is always better to book them even now we have five so call us or pop in to secure yours.
Just a quick note to remind you that we are also now a Motocaddy Service Centre. We have serviced several Motocaddys (and the odd PowaKaddy as it goes) in the last few weeks as more of you get back out on the course, so please remember you now have this service on site. We also have a battery tester so if you are experiencing any difficulties just pop in and we can most certainly help.
