The
Byelaws of our Club were established to set out and regulate the Rights, the
do's and the don'ts of Members. Contravention or breaches of the Byelaws may
result in the offender being imposed penalties which may include suspension or
loss of certain or all privileges.
In upholding the Byelaws, The
Committee had over the passed few months suspended several Members.
As expected the regular and
constant complaints received by The Committee pertain to littering (especially
cigarette butts), slow play, unraked bunkers, unfilled divot holes and
unrepaired pitch marks and other forms of breaches of golf etiquette.
The Committee has directed that
commencing 2003, Management is to monitor closely the conduct of Members. Those
found to be in breach of golf etiquette or Byelaws will be called up to face
disciplinary action.
As part and parcel of the upgrading
and improvement programme of our Golf Courses, I urge Members to cooperate by
raking bunkers after use, repair pitch marks, and to refrain from littering.
The weather over the past few weeks
further confirms that the drainage system of our Golf Courses is poor and
inefficient, particularly that of the Suleiman Course. Despite a huge sum of
money being spent on the Suleiman Course it was still like a padi field and
unplayable over the last few weeks.
With all our facilities and
manpower, our Club should have at least three Championship Nines; the 1st and
2nd of the Old and the 2nd New. Depending on the availability of funds, work on
the 2nd New will commence in the coming New Year.
I would like to take this
opportunity to wish Members who celebrate Christmas a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and to
all Members a "HAPPY NEW YEAR".
