HJT at Eagle Ridge GC on Saturday March 6th 2021

Good evening everyone.

We are looking forward to another good day of competition golf tomorrow at Eagle Ridge GC in Summerfield.

Below this message you will find individual tee times, pairings, yardages and flight info for tomorrow’s competition. We will commence play at 12.00 on number 1 of The Masters Course and our back 9 tomorrow will be on The Heritage Course.

It is important that every player checks in on arrival with Fiona at our Golfer Registration Desk. We need to know you have arrived with us and if any tee time changes are necessary we will communicate these to you at that stage. Range tokens will be issued via Fiona from there. It’s also important to check we have the correct phone number on file for you in the event that we need to contact you while you are on the course.

We will be operating an additional nearest-the-pin competition tomorrow with a special prize for the winner. We will advise which par-3 hole this applies to prior to play tomorrow.

Carts are available via the ProShop for players with a valid drivers license or parents accompanying younger players. Cost is $20 plus tax. Please note at all HJT competitions we are happy for players to use carts either by driving themselves(with a valid drivers license) OR if with a parent or guardian alongside them.

Please note caddies are also allowed at all HJT events. Caddies MUST comply with USGA caddie rules and pace of play MUST be observed. If your group falls behind play we will request you play “Ready Golf” in order to keep pace with the group in front. Electronic devices to assist with yardages are acceptable for use at this competition.

As always this competition will be ranked by GJGR. (Global Junior Golf Rankings) and scoring will be via our dedicated online scoring app which can be downloaded from your online app store by searching for HJT golf. You will find that the player tee times as shown below are loaded already.

Scoring will only be accepted via the online app. We no longer swap paper scorecards for (Covid-19) safety reasons but we will ask you to keep your own paper scorecard record which we will use as a back up to refer back should any discrepancies or errors be made in the app. If using the scoring app for the first time and once you have first registered in the HJT golf app you can search for tomorrow’s competition where you will find the full list of players and tee times pre-loaded. Scoring via the app is a simple process but if you do need any assistance with it please ask prior to play and we will be happy to help.

Please make your way to the 1st tee of Masters Course at least 10 minutes before play where we will provide a short briefing to players on any local rules that may apply to this competition. Please be aware that Eagle Ridge on-course water coolers are still not in use so please bring water with you and ensure you keep hydrated at all times.

On the subject of hydration the forecast is still suggesting we may in fact receive some “natural hydration from above” better known as RAIN! How little, how much or how long for depends on which forecast you subscribe to. Our numbers are certainly lower than usual and some parents have advised it’s because the forecast is not great. Please be mindful of this and prepare your equipment and rain gear just in case.

Please rest assured player safety is always our priority and if it becomes necessary to shelter in place or return to the clubhouse we will immediately advise you by text.

Following play tomorrow, as player flights finish, we will compile scores and conduct brief medal presentations. We always try to conduct these presentations as quickly as we can to ensure you are not waiting around too much but we, and our players, do always appreciate your support by attending if you possibly can.

If you have any questions and need to contact us urgently please don’t hesitate to call or text me on 716-436-8691 or Mark on 352 259 0436.

We are very much looking forward to another great day of junior golf at Eagle Ridge GC tomorrow. See you there!
