FORWARD TEE

I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY A FEW OF OUR MEMBERS,

“WHAT ARE THE RULES. OR WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER MOVING TO THE FORWARD TEE BOX?

I ATTENDED THE MGA RULES AND HANDICAPING SEMINAR A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND HAD THE CHANCE TO ASK ABOUT IT

WELL HERE YA GO, THERE IS NO HARD RULE, IT IS NOT BASED ON AGE, OR HANDICAP

IT IS BASED ON YOUR DISTANCE OFF OF THE TEE, JUST THAT SIMPLE

HERE IS THE GUIDELINE I WAS TOLD, AND IT MAKES SENSE:

IF YOU ARE HITTING THE BALL 200 YARDS + OFF THE TEE REGULARLY YOU STAY AT THE WHITES

IF YOU ARE UNDER 200, BUT MAYBE REGULARLY 190+ THEN IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER IT, NOT AUTOMATIC BUT CONSIDER IT

THEN SIMPLY IF YOU ARE UNDER 190 OFF THE TEE REGULARLY THEN IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, JUST DO IT.

SO IF YOU DO, JUST LET ME KNOW, SIMPLY WRITE GOLD TEES NEXT TO YOUR NAME ON YOUR CARD, ITS NOT A PROBLEM.

GROUP ME!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT IN ON THE GROUP ME

IT IS A VERY USEFUL TOOL FOR OUR CLUB AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

ACES POOL

CONGRATULATIONS TO RAY MORAN FOR WINNING THE HOLE IN 1 POOL LAST YEAR AT THE LAST OUTING. THE POOL IS ON HOLD FOR NOW. IF GUYS WANT WE CAN START IT UP AGAIN NEXT SEASON

RULES FOR CONTEST HOLES FOR THE 2026 SEASON!

SO, AS WE STARTED LAST YEAR, THERE WILL BE NO MORE LONG DRIVE HOLES, JUST 2 CLOSE TO PINS, AND ONE CLOSEST ON THE 2ND SHOT, SO AS FAR AS SPREADING THE WEALTH, YOU CAN WIN NO MORE THEN 3 CONTEST HOLES FROM THE START OF THE SEASON UNTIL THE EAST END TRIP IN SEPTEMBER, THEN THE COUNTER RESETS TO 0, HOWEVER AS ALWAYS YOU CAN ONLY WIN 1 2ND SHOT CLOSEST OR CLOSE TO PIN AT THE EAST END EVENT, AND FROM THAT POINT, YOU CAN ONLY WIN 2 CONTEST HOLES UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE SEASON, WINNERS WILL HAVE “c” OR 2 OR 3 “Cs” NEXT TO THEIR NAME ON THE SIGN IN PAGE!

OUTING NEWS

ONE IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PUBLIC GOLF COURSE OUTINGS STARTING THIS YEAR AND MOVING FORWARD, WITH THE HEAVY USE OF APPS SUCH AS GOLF NOW, COURSES ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT RESERVING TEE TIMES TO ONLY HAVE THEM GIVEN BACK AT THE LAST MINUTE, SO WE ARE BEING SQUEEZED A BIT WHEN IT COMES TO TIMES, SO SIGN UP EARLY. IN SOME CASES, IF SIGN UPS ARE LOW I WILL HAVE TO GIVE BACK TIMES BEFORE REGISTRATION CLOSES. BY SIGNING UP EARLY YOU INSURE YOU WON’T BE CLOSED OUT.

IN ADDITION A DAY OF WITHDRAWL WILL HAVE TO BE PAID FOR, AS COURSES LOOK AT THIS AS “LOST REVENUE” SO BE PREPARED TO PAY IF YOU WITHDRAW WITHIN 24 HOURS OF YOUR TEE TIME, I HAVE TRIED TO BE LENIENT WITH THIS RULE IN THE PAST, BUT WE WILL NOT “EAT IT” IF WE ARE CHARGED FOR ANY LAST MINUTE WITHDRAWALS.
