Hence my feeling of mixed emotions. I'm excitedly optimistic about my move, but that didn't make the decision or the process of informing the Captain and Club easy nor enjoyable. I have a heavy heart knowing that I'll be leaving lots of great people and greater friends when I finally go next year. Hell, I'm even sad at the fact that, despite all my effort, I couldn't make a good enough success out of things here!

So what happens next!?

Firstly I think it's important to let you all know that, other than the inevitable winding down of the business, we will continue to do everything we normally do in the usual Professional way to the highest standards we can.

But I'll now try and cover off some of the other question marks!

SHOP ACCOUNTS/CREDIT:
I know many of you have Credit sitting on your Shop Account. Some of whom have been letting it build up to purchase something sizeable. Ideally this Credit would be used up before I depart but, nobody will be forced to use up their Credit before I leave. However the Credit WILL MOVE with me to my next location. So if you have nothing you particularly want/need right now then you can order ANYTHING through me at a later date and I will have it delivered to your address. Similarly for those people who were saving up for new Equipment, we can either arrange the Custom Fit Appointment before I go or make plans where I can host you to a Fitting and round of golf at my new Course then have your Purchase delivered to your home.

LESSONS:
Anyone who has Lessons purchased THIS YEAR that they still have to use can either, book them in now (via my Online Lesson Diary) or trade them for a nominal Shop Credit to use In Store.

VOUCHERS/LESSON VOUCHERS:
With Christmas round the corner I have created a generic Portlethen Pro Shop Gift or Lesson Voucher & Account. The money for any of these purchased, from now until I leave, will be saved and passed on to whoever is appointed as my replacement. If any Vouchers want to be redeemed whilst I'm still trading at Portlethen then the associated value would just be deducted from that pot.

FUTURE COMPETITION SWEEP & TWOS MONIES:
The same will now apply for all the Seniors, Mashie, Winter League & Sunday Eclectic Comps. This money will accrue and be passed on (with the list of Winners obviously) to the next Professional, unless any Member wishes to use it In Store immediately.

STOCK:
For now the Shop will continue to trade as normal. There will of course be certain lines of product reduced to clear, which would have been happening at this time of year regardless, but it won`t be a blanket sale. Similarly, we will still be able to Order any product you wish, so again if you have Store Credit and we don`t have what you would like we can order it.
