Hello Golf Members
We are getting close to another Golf Season, as we just got through the Holidays and it’s the New Year. Just a few short months and we will be back on the golf courses. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that we have a very Happy New Year.
We have put up the Tentative Schedule for the 2022 Golf Season. There could always be a few changes, but Reino is on top of that and will make sure it is set in stone as soon as he can. We have just a couple of courses that were not able to commit to the dates we suggested, but I am sure we can make the proper adjustments for them and to make it work with our schedule.
We have made some changes in the Rules for this Association. I would appreciate it if all Members would go to the Web Site and read through the rules, so you are aware of the changes we made.
Here are the major Rule Changes for next year.
All members must pay their next year dues prior to September 15. If paid after that date, dues will be $40 and if not paid by the last regularly scheduled event, which is posted on our schedule, members will automatically be dropped if dues are not received in time. Statements or reminders are not sent.
No medical exemptions will be granted after September 15 of a playing year.
A man who reaches the top of the waitlist at the end of a season and declines to join the tour when invited, will be dropped from the waitlist. To get back on the waitlist, he will have to reapply and pay another $10.00 fee and go to the end of the waitlist. If you are asked to join the active list after the beginning of the golf year and before the end of the golf year, and decline, you can stay in your position until the end of the golf year.
WE ALSO USE A SENIOR TOUR RULE CALLED ROLLING THE BALL:
(Rolling the ball with your club) apply to all areas of the Golf Course except hazards, sand traps, and on the Green.
Rolling the ball is limited to six inches and not allowed when you’re behind a tree or other obstacle that would otherwise have you take a drop or chip out. That means you can not move the ball from behind a tree to improve your lie and if you do, you must take a penalty stroke.
Local course rules apply to all events. Ask the scorekeeper for any rulings.
We do not have mulligans or gimmies, so you must count all strokes and putt everything out. NO GIMMIES!!!
SCORE CARDS: It is each player’s responsibility to ensure that his name, player number, and score are properly recorded on the score cards. Our handicapper will throw out any card that is not readable. Don’t miss being a possible winner. If the scorekeeper does not turn in the card, he is leaving 4 or 5 guys without a score for the day. It is the responsibility of each player to verify his total score before the card is turned in. Once the card has been turned in scores cannot be changed. Keep your own card and check it against the official card at the end of the round.
A good habit is that one person keeps an Official Scorecard, another person keeps a second scorecard, so you can double check the scores and that the Official Scorecard is then filled out properly. It will make my job as Scorecard Processor to run smoother and I won’t have to make phone calls when I am in the process of entering the scores.
I am looking forward to another great year on the golf courses. I hope everyone has a great winter and that you will all be ready for the New Golf Season when we start again in April.
David
