JUNE UPDATE

Before you know it, June will be here and we have 5 weeks of LMGA play in the month. 
 
We are going to make a change to how we score some of our games starting in June based on the suggestion of a few of our weekly players.  Currently, almost every week we end up with 1 or 2 teams playing as a 3 some.  We now assign a BLIND to that team and add the blind's score to the 3 some for their total score.  Going forward, what we will do, for games such as Stableford, is instead of using a blind, we will calculate the 3 some’s score using a 4/3 approach.  That is, taking the 3 some’s score, dividing it by 3 and then multiplying that by 4.  In almost every case, where I went back and looked at this, the 3 some was better off without the blind.
 
As an example, if the 3 some gets 90 points, you would divide by 3 (30) and multiply by 4 which gives them 120 points.
 
   A few reminders:
 
Don’t forget we have an ongoing Hole in One Pot that currently has $325.00 in it, just waiting for a HIO to happen during an LMGA event.  If you haven’t signed up yet, just see me when you play on Thursday and for the cost of $5, you’re in.
 
As we continue to see our count go up on weekly play, the earlier in the week you can sign up, the better it is for understanding how many tee times we will need for that week.  I usually call in the request on the Friday before we play and make the request based on the players signed up by then.  So the earlier you sign up, the better my estimate will be.
 
We have 3 months of registrations up on the calendar (May- June-July), so you can plan your months out accordingly.
If you need to cancel, you must do so before 8am on the Thursday we play.  You can do this by sending me an email or calling the pro shop.  But if you don’t do this, then you will be considered a no show and you will still be charged the $5 for that day.
 
  As we now offer multiple tee box choices that you can select when registering, we are going to hold that the tee box you requested will be the one you play from that Thursday.  There will be no changing after that week’s registration closes.
 
Pace of play is everyone’s responsibility.  Each week, the player at the top of the score card is the captain for that group.  We are asking that you ensure the pace of play of your group is allowing you to keep up with the group in front of you.
