Here we go. The golf season is officially underway. The golf course is in great condition and ready for all of us to enjoy. The Caddyshack is preparing excellent food and beverages, and we have a full and exciting schedule of events for the membership to participate in.
More and more Jerome CC Members are taking advantage of the ability to reserve tee times online at the Jerome CC website. jeromecountryclub.com
Simply open the website and click on the Blue Book a Tee Time Button.
Keep these things in mind when booking tee times from the website:
- Only members are able to book tee times online.
- It is not possible to book tee times online within 24 hours of the desired time. If you would like to schedule a time fewer than 24 hours in advance phone the golfshop.
- It is helpful to the golfshop staff to receive as much information as possible. Please provide us with the number of players in your group (and names when possible). This will allow us to pair up and fill out as many groups into foursomes as possible.
The United States Golf Association has made some changes to the method of calculating golf handicaps in 2020. The Changes are meant to create a more accurate playing handicap for all golfers and to make a players handicap more accurate when playing different golf courses or different sets of tee markers. The changes have also made the method of calculating golf handicaps consistent throughout the other major golf associations around the world.
