Match Play Reminder

The first round of matches are scheduled to wrap up this week...

Just a reminder moving forward about the handicap format:


In SINGLES matches, each player receives 80% of their handicap and the match is played off the lower of the two.

For example: If PLAYER 'A' is a 6 and PLAYER 'B'  an 8, 2 strokes are given.


In the TWO MAN matches, each player receives 80% of their handicap and ALL players receive strokes where they fall according to the scorecard.


This information is posted on the bulletin board with the match play draw.

Unrepaired Ball Marks

In case you haven't had the chance to keep pace with Greg's Grounds Crew blog:

The Men's Golf Committee thought this was an important point Greg made - let's all take the time to repair our ball marks during regular play. It only takes an extra minute and the greens and your fellow golfers will thank you.

Below is a picture Greg posted on his blog: each white stake represents an unrepaired ball mark from last Saturday's play:
