Its model behaviour to a tee

 23/08/2009

Tiger Woods is not the only one in the golf world with a problem. Leaderboard Golf — owner of courses including Kent-based Chart Hills and Sandford Springs — has a big problem with “eye candy caddies”. 

These are models/dancers trained in “golf etiquette,” who can be hired to carry clubs. According to its website, the caddies provide a “gorgeous solution for unforgettable golf days”. But Leaderboard is not convinced. After receiving complaints from members about their presence on its courses, it has decided to ban them. 
Leaderboard insists it is not being a killjoy “in objecting to a service which invites men to select from a photo menu of young women”. That’s not all: “These women are often pictured in their underwear, and judged according to the merits of their responses to questions such as ‘what is your favourite body part’.” Knowledge that is not guaranteed to help your handicap.

Dale Hill Win Leaderboard Challenge

 16/07/2009

At 4.20am on Tuesday the 14th July, 6 Professional Golfers (John Tolliday and Craig Howell from Dale Hill, Andrew Wild and Neil Granville from Sandford Springs and Graham Green and Charlie Hayes from the Leaderboard Driving Range) teed off for 18 holes at The Oxfordshire Golf Club on their quest to complete 99 holes of golf over the 4 centres that belong to the Leaderboard group.


Tolliday and Howell took the early lead with a level par round (playing Better Ball) completing the Oxfordshire in just under 2 hours, but whilst they set the pace in score they could not keep up with the speed of the other two groups.

Following The Oxfordshire was a 50 minute drive to the next centre, Sandford Springs Golf club, Reading, for a further 27 holes. Scores were fairly close but the Dale hill boys managed to extend their lead by a couple of shots by producing a score of 1 under for the 27 holes.

A further 2 hour drive around the M25 gave a welcome rest for the players as they made their way to Chart Hills Golf club, Kent. Completion of this 18 holes would be well over the half way mark.

John and Craig managed to shoot a score of 2 under par for Chart Hills, extending their lead by a further few shots.
Home turf was in sight after a 30 minute drive to Dale Hill, East Sussex for John  and Craig where they were to complete a further 36 holes around the Ian Woosnam Course shooting a  level par round, and finally the Dale Hill Course with a 2 under par score to complete the 99 holes in 5 under par.

Many members supported the players over the final 18 holes and there was a great atmosphere around the course and clubhouse to follow.

The Dale Hill boys managed to win the challenge with the Leaderboard Driving range in 2nd place and the Sandford Springs team coming in 3rd place, although it has to be said the Sandford team would have quite easily won a prize for completing in the least amount of time. 

With the support of all the sponsors Dale Hill Managed to raise just over £3200 which will be split evenly between the Dale Hill Captains charities, Multiple Sclerosis and Muscular Dystrophy. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone concerned in the day for your sponsorship and support at the event. 

The players all thoroughly enjoyed the day finishing around 9pm, and are now trying to work out how they can top the challenge for next year

What do you need to do next?
 
You will need to register on line before being able to use the system. Your date of birth , postcode and membership number must be the same as we have on the Chart Hills data base. 
 
If your details do not match what we have on our membership database it will ask you to confirm your details to us and we will update as soon as possible. 
 
Once registered just use your membership swipe card to access the system on the Touch Screen . If in doubt, or you have difficulty, ask a member of staff to assist you.

What else changes?
 
From this point forward we will be using the online score entry facilities of IntelligentGolf and we will enter your scores following any competition that you play in. Eventually you will be entering your own scores but be assured all cards will still be checked before any results are made known.
 
This is an easy and intuitive process instigated by swiping your member’s card at either of the IG stations from which you will be presented with clear instructions and options. By touching (lightly) the screen you will be able to enter your hole by hole score including ‘no score at hole’ for those holes you would rather forget! Stableford and Nett score calculations are performed automatically.
 
I appreciate that a new system, particularly when we involve computers, is disturbing to a number of members. however I would like to reassure you that this system is very intuitive and there will be a member of staff on hand if you require assistance.
