It is hard to believe we are already into July, as it seems like just yesterday, we were looking at getting the Golf Season started. So far, I think the Season has moved smoothly. I am surprised that most of the events are not filling up and I am not quite sure why. Are we playing too many events in a week, so are we spreading out the golfers? We worry some that if we don’t fill the Golf Courses up, they may not want us or they may raise our rates. Please use the Waiting List if an Event is full, as usually we get enough Cancellations that we take off the Waiting List.
SCORECARDS
Please make sure you completely fill out the Score Cards. Make sure if a golfer or golfers play from the Forward Tees (FT) that you cross out the Regular Hdcp. If someone who is eligible to play from the FT plays from the Regular Tees, then cross out the FT Hdcp. I usually end up having to make some phone calls to get the proper Tees marked on some of the scorecards, not all of them but enough to make it a nuisance. I also have had some golfers call to make a correction on the scorecards after I get home. I think that in a Foursome, one group keeps the Actual Scorecard and the other group keeps another scorecard so you can double check the scores. It really would help me if that was done by every one of the Foursomes.
We also need to make sure we are keeping up with the group in front of us. At Forest Hills, we had 5 groups on one hole. I am not too sure how that happens, but please let’s try to correct that. We would like everyone to be playing READY GOLF. Please try to do that so things can move along at a steady pace. If your putt comes up just short of the whole, don’t mark it, finish please. Again, there are NO GIMMIES, so ALL PUTTS must be taken, and the hole isn’t over until the ball hits the bottom of the hole. One of the things we also need to do is park our golf carts to the side or the back of the greens while we are putting, so when we are done putting, you walk off the side or back of the green, so if there are golfers waiting to hit to the green they can.
MADDENS
We are still looking for golfers to join us at Madden’s for two rounds of golf. Madden’s is scheduled for Wednesday, August 18 and Thursday, August 19. The cost is $240(Cart not included) for 2 rounds of golf, sack lunch, supper off a limited menu, night’s stay, breakfast Buffet and lunch before we head home on Thursday. We have a Great time, and we certainly get our money’s worth for the price we pay.
How about some humor.
Three golfing partners, Fred, Kevin and Don, died in a car wreck and went to heaven..
Upon arrival, they discover the most beautiful golf course they have ever seen.
St. Peter tells them that they are all welcome to play the course, but he cautions them that there is only one rule: "Don't hit the ducks during your first three months here."
The men all have blank expressions, and finally one of them asks, "The ducks?”
"Yes", St. Peter replies, "There are thousands of ducks walking around the course, and if one gets hit, he quacks, then the one next to him quacks and soon they're all quacking to beat the band. It really breaks the tranquility, and if you hit one of the ducks, you'll be punished. Otherwise everything is yours to enjoy.””
Upon entering the course, the men noted that there were indeed large numbers of ducks everywhere. Within fifteen minutes, one of the guys, Fred, hit a duck. The duck quacks, the one next to it quacked and soon here was a deafening roar of duck quacks.
St. Peter walked up with an extremely homely woman in tow and asks, "Who hit the duck? Fred who had done it admitted, "I did.” St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Fred's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks,", he said. “Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity.”
The other two men were very cautious not to hit any ducks, but a couple of weeks later, one of them, Kevin accidentally did. The quacks were as deafening as before, and within minutes St. Peter walked up with an even uglier woman.
He cuffed Kevin's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks," he said; "Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity.”
The third man, Don was extremely careful. Some days he wouldn't even play for fear of even nudging a duck. After three months, he still hadn't hit a duck.
St. Peter walked up to Don at the end of the three months, and had with him a knock-out, gorgeous woman - the most beautiful woman Don had ever seen. St. Peter smiled at Don and then, without a word, handcuffed Don to the beautiful woman and walked off.
Don, knowing that he would be handcuffed to this woman for eternity, let out a contented sigh and said aloud, "I wonder what I did to deserve this?”
The woman responds, "I don't know about you, but I hit a duck."
