Getting Started	The first person you will meet at the center will be Tommy, the club manager. He will collect your game fee, have you sign in and will direct you around the center. If you are above the rank of absolute beginner, you will may well start by playing Tommy. This will give him an idea of how strong you are, and he will be able to set you up with other players. He will also recomend what color or handicap a pair of players should start with. If you are an absolute beginner, Tommy can give you some quick lessons or play a teaching game. In either case, absolute beginner or experienced player, if Tommy is busy or unable to play, he will recomend whichever of the players he feels is appropriate.
