Urgent call for Roo Tour guides

Roo tours have clearly provided a memorable experience for all those visitors who have engaged with them to date. Financially the club received revenue of $6k in 2021 and $5k YTD in 2022.\

 

We presently only have  a handful of tour guides available to conduct Roo tours. This means we cannot offer the service on over half of the days in any month. Unless we can attract more guides, the service will either have to be severely cut back or stopped all together. The busiest days for Roo tours are Sunday, Saturday and Wednesday.

 

How does it work?

• Guides are rostered on for specific days
• Guides are notified of any bookings for the day.
• There can be walk-up bookings to which we need to respond, these patrons are advised to wait while we organise the rostered guide to come on-site.
• There will be an emergency list of guides to call in case the rostered person is unable to take any tours. 

What’s in it for you?

–          Induction & training, so you don’t need to be a kangaroo guru

–          Tours go for just 30 minutes so why not bring your putter and practice before or after the tour – (Drive for Show, Putt for dough)

–          Meet international guests – (you just never know who you will meet) Tom Cruise? Emma Thompson?

–          Know that you are supporting Gisborne Golf Club’s community and putting us on the map

–          Work with a close-knit team
