Golf course hours to change as daylight saving time begins
AMENITIES UPDATE
Turtle Lake Golf Course, operating on Pacific Standard Time since October, will switch to the daylight saving time schedule, effective March 14.
The course will be open from 8 a.m.-7 p.m., with the last tee time reservation at 6:20 p.m.
Golf starters report many new golfers are taking advantage of the course, but some seem unaware of the rules. The basic rules for the course should always be followed, and there are additional restrictions in keeping with COVID-19 safety guidelines.
The sign stating these rules and scorecards have been removed for safety, so golfers can pick up copies of GRF Policy 70-1429.02-1, Golf Course Rules, from the starter. The policy is also available online at lwsb.com.
Some golfers have reportedly not received confirmation for their reservations. But confirmations are always emailed after a tee time is reserved. Confirmations may not reach the golfer because of incorrect email addresses.
Golfers should check the spelling of their addresses, especially if they have not received confirmation.
The Recreation Department, which coordinates the GRF Vaccine Taskforce, is focusing primarily on scheduling COVID-19 clinics until everyone has been vaccinated.
Shot clinics are being held in Clubhouse 6, so registration for the Fitness Center has been temporarily put on hold.
The community will be notified when registrations resume.
In the meantime, check out http://www.lwsb.com/fitnesscenter- tutorials/ to learn how to use the new Fitness Center equipment. The tutorial videos will acclimate people to new smart systems and fitness circuits so they will be ready when the center opens. Complete instructions for all machines except those in the circuit training area can be accessed from smartphones. An attendant will be there to show people how to link their phones to the machine’s video presentation, or people can check out iPads to learn while they work out.
The COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee, which drafts emergency procedures for reopening amenities under COVID-19 restrictions, continues to look at opening other amenities, in keeping with CDC guidelines. Expect regular updates as the situation evolves.
The next ad hoc meeting is scheduled for today, March 4 (see the GRF meeting schedule on page 5 for more information).
Dance and exercise classes have resumed at Veterans Plaza on their previous schedules. Contact the Recreation Department if you are interested in particular activities or contact information for the clubs and their instructors.
Updates related to amenity reopenings will be published in the LW Weekly as well as on LW Live as they become available.
