WHAT A START TO THE YEAR !

Unfortunately, the headline is not a positive one, as we have had to endure possibly the worst 3 months of weather in recent history. Golf  Directors have been enduring the kind of rain that normally is only seen in Northern Europe, but which now seems to have found a home here on the Costa Del  Golf .

Courses have tried their best to continue to remain open, but a small ray of sunshine for a few hours has been invariably followed by another deluge of rain. These conditions are the worst possible for all concerned. Players who have started their rounds decide to come in after playing several holes, and the consequences (refunds, new starting times, credits etc……) affect everybody in the golfing industry.

More time is spent making refunds rather  than bookings, and the administrative nightmare is a costly one.

Moreover, the visiting golfer is like a bear with a sore head, pacing about hotel lobbies praying for a day on the course, only to be informed that more rain is on the way.

What a start! Lets hope that it is over soon.
