The more detailed rules of the network are as follows for 2010:

 

The SmartGolfer Network 

RECIPROCAL GOLF RULES 2010 

  

1.       Reciprocal Golf is available to all Full and 5 Day Male and Female Members of a SmartGolfer   Network Club. 5 Day Members only have 5 Day access at Network Clubs 

  

2.       Each SmartGolfer Network Club will allocate two tee times per day, Monday to Friday, for use by Members of other SmartGolfer Network Clubs. Any additional Tee Times per day are at the discretion of the individual SmartGolfer Network Club. 

  

3.        Each SmartGolfer Network Club will make available, subject to availability and at times appropriate to their club, some weekend access.  

  

4.        Every Full or 5 Day Member of a SmartGolfer Club is entitled to play up to a total of TEN free rounds of golf per annum at other courses in the SmartGolfer Network. 

  

5.        A Club Member, wishing to play at a SmartGolfer Network Club, must contact the relevant SmartGolfer network Club between two and five days in advance to book a suitable time and date for their round. Free Rounds may only be booked with less than two days notice, at the discretion of the Host Club. 

  

6.        The Club Member will be required to produce their Club Membership Card on arrival at the SmartGolfer Network Club in order to obtain their free round. 

  

7.        A Full Member of a SmartGolfer Club may take guests with them to other SmartGolfer Network Clubs. A Guest is a golfer who is NOT a Full or 5 Day Member of a SmartGolfer Network Club, or who is a 5 Day Member but playing at the weekend with a Full Member. All Guests will be required to play the standard Guest Green Fee of the SmartGolfer Network Club where the round is played. (rates indicated on previous page). 

  

8.        Full Members (and their guests) of a SmartGolfer Network Club will be honorary members of the Host SmartGolfer Network Club for the day and able to use the catering and bar facilities on the day of their round. 

  

9.        Full and 5 Day Members of a SmartGolfer Network Club will not be given a courtesy round unless the round has been pre-booked in accordance with 5. above.  

  

10.      All golfers must comply with the Host SmartGolfer Network Club Rules and the Dress Code of that Club. 

  

11.      Where more than one consecutive tee time is required, ie for groups of greater than 4 golfers, one Reciprocal Tee time will be available free of charge, and all additional starting times will be charged at the specially reduced rates as advertised by each SmartGolfer Network Club.

 

When more than 4 network golfers want to play at a host course together, this is deemed as a ‘Network Society’. There are special reduced rates for these – simply enquire at our pro shop. For example, the rate Royston quote for network society golf is £12. However, the first 4 golfers can be free on the network. Hence, in this example, if  9 AVGC network members wanted to play Royston then they would pay 9 – 4 = 5,  @ £12 each, totals £60 for the 9 players.    

  

The number of AVGC SmartNetwork Golfers has risen steadily over the year and many members have saved considerable sums in greenfees. All identity cards expire
