There are some changes that affect the weekend club
tee times and the weekend game. Please read carefully and share with members who
do not have email.
1. The weekend tee times were given to us with the
expectation that they were for players who got in "the game". The board and
officers has taken a while to consider what kind of game would we like. The
Parks said they would run a game like there is at the other clubs. A group
decision was made to follow a format similar to Genesee and Churchville. This
format will be used on non-tournament weekend days for the balance of the year.
The officiers and board feel that this format will benefit the club in the long
run as it promotes intermixing of the club members and makes is especially easy
for new members to get in a group and meet other members. The board and officers
knows this is different and may not appeal to everyone, but feel it will be good
for the club overall.
2. The first weekend this will affect will be the
weekend of June 23/24 so this will affect you when you get tee times this
weekend for next weekend. You can call in or sign the list in the proshop
until the tuesday prior to the weekend and be assured of being
organized into a group. All players taking one of the slots in the club's
designated tee times will be required to play in the sweeps and an 80%
handcap 2man BB. Skins and closest to the pin costs are optional. Unused tee
times as of tuesday night will be turned back to the general
public.
Club tee times presently are Sat. 7am - 830am
and Sun. 7am - 9am.
When you call in or sign in, you
will provide the following info: name, preference of playing time (early or
late), handicap, and whether you will walk or take a cart.
On wednesday, Jack Gehrs will take the list and
randomly select an A player and a B player from those that want to play early.
That will form a 2man BB team for the day that will play together. He will then
pick another A and B players randomly to form a second 2man BB team. That will
then complete the foursome for the 1st early tee time for the club. He will
repeat the process until all players are chosen. He will then proceed to
select teams from those that want to play late. Jack will also take into
consideration who is using carts to avoid single cart users.
You can call the proshop (266-0110, ext. 2) on
thurs and friday to find out who you are playing with and your exact starting
time.
3. If you are going to play a
match, you will provide your name and opponents name and whether you
want to play the match early or late. Your match will simply take the place of
one of the 2man BB teams. Players in matches will not pay the sweeps and 2man BB
fees as match play and stroke play formats are not compatible and are in
violation with the rules of golf.
4. If you are going to bring a
guest, then you will provide that person's name and you will play with
your guest as your partner in the 2man BB. If that person has a USGA handicap,
he may use it in the games. If he does not, then he will receive 80% of the
difference between his gross score for the day and par for his handicap for
the day. He will then receive 80% of that number for his handicap in the 80%
2man BB.
5. Members who do not want to play in this format
can simply get their own tee times either before or after the club's time slot.
You will need to participate in the new format in order to play in the weekend
games.
