Instructor Day - Gonna Be HOT!!!

Postby AGill on Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:39 am

Instructors and Volunteers,

It's going to be very HOT this weekend so be sure to start hydrating on Saturday and don't drink adult beverages on Saturday night! And, bring lots of sunscreen!

See you Sunday!

Does the club have any umbrellas for corner workers? Or can some people with golf umbrellas bring them?

Dave,

I have good news for you...you won't have to corner work!!!

As far as having umbrellas out on the track I don't think this would be deemed safe. If you are having to hold a yellow flag and an umbrella I don't think you would be as agile to avoid an out of control car. And, what happens when you need to set it down to go pick up a cone??? The risk of it blowing on course (probably wouldn't have time to close it every time) would be too high.

We'll just have to rely on sunscreen and water...and be thankful we are not in other parts of the country that are 95 and humid :banghead:

See you Sunday!

There are actually several large golf-umbrellas in the trailer. But as Adam points out, there is some question of safety. I'll leave that up to CDIs and Safety Chairs...
