Dear Members,

Thankyou for your patience as works to the bag and buggy storage are nearing completion. Pleasingly we have been able to commence allowing the return of bags and buggies into the area for storage, albeit with a few modifications to the area to continue.

With the resumption of storage and the service from the golf shop staff we have implemented a policy to cover the storage of items and the service provided in the area.

The adopted policies are a result of the incident which led to the area being closed, refinements to meet WHS requirements and considerate of input from staff and the renewal of the Clubs insurances. The key points of note within the Policy for members with bags and/or buggies in storage are:

  • Batteries and chargers are not permitted in the space (or within bags or buggies – other than range finders)
  • No member equipment is to be stored on or above the top shelf (markers are in place to indicate this)
  • Surplus items are not permitted to be stored in the area (i.e. One bag only, no spare clubs etc)
  • Items in storage are no longer covered by the Club’s insurance for Fire (Members wishing protection for fire are required to obtain their own insurance).
  • The Members Golf Equipment insurance has been continued but items remain covered for theft or damage (other than fire).
  • Entry to the Bag & Buggy storage areas is strictly for Members with equipment in paid storage
  • CCTV has been installed in the areas for both service and security given the interim shop location remains away from the principle storage area.

A copy of the Policy: Bag & Buggy Storage is available via the link below:

POLICY POGS0010 Bag & Buggy Storage

As the service is resuming, we are now in a position to commence issuing credits to members who had paid for storage but were unable to store due to the area closure. The credits will appear on members account statements in February and March 2023.

For any members wishing to obtain a space in the storage areas there are a small number of vacancies for golf bag storage and a waitlist for Bag with Buggy storage. Any enquiries concerning obtaining a spot are to be directed to membership@manly.miclub.com.au
