news --Club Championship

 

Hi there ladies!

 

I apologize if this is news to any of you, but changes were discussed and made to the club championship tournament at the opening social .... and I forgot to send these changes out via email or have them posted to the blog for those of you who were unable to make the opening social.    Because of the price of food this year, we had to cut down our meal socials to two instead of three; it was voted on and the two meals will be the opening and closing socials.  In the past, we were getting deals on our meals, like $7 or $8 per plate.  Last year prices sky rocketed and this year they are even worse.  Prices were almost doubled for our opening social; much more than I had planned on spending.   So we voted at the opening social and it was decided that we would forgo the club championship dinner this year.  This was also changed because the 2 p.m. shotgun start for the tournament is no longer feasible for all of the ladies because it is just too darn hot at that time.   And moving the shotgun start to an earlier time would eliminate some of our working ladies.  fSooooo ... we are still having the tournament, it will just be a little different this year.  

 

Those players who signed up to be on the 18-hole league will play 36 holes of golf for the tournament.  Their first 18 holes will be played on Wednesday, August 23rd and their second 18 holes will be played on the 30th.  For the second day of play, the 18 hole players will be repaired, according to how they played the first round.  On the 30th, we will have our 18-hole league players go out in assigned groups, with tee times starting at 9 a.m.  

 

For our 9-hole league players, they can either play nine holes on the 23rd and nine holes on the 30th or 18 holes on the 30th.   The nine-hole players will be allowed to play at any time of the day with whomever they'd like, both days.  

 

Winners will be decided and announced a few days after the tournament concludes.  Winnings will immediatly be added to the winners accounts at the course.  We will celebrate the winners at the closing social dinner.  

 

There will be sign up sheets and registration forms at the club house, on the ladies table, next week.  There is a $25 entrance fee for the tournament.  All entrance fees collected, plus extra money added from the ladies league will be paid out to our winners.  

 

Here is the most important information ... ALL MEMBERS OF THE SUN HILLS LADIES GOLF LEAGUE are invited and eligible to play in the club championship tournament.  Having said that, in order to be called  the "CLUB CHAMPION" you must have played at least five times during league play this season.  It's usually a little higher than that, but we had a very late start this season, due to snow, and a few weeks were limited or cancelled due to weather.   But regardless how many times you have played this season, you are still invited to play in the club championship tournament and you are still eligible to win money, which will be added to your winnings account.  So please sign up to play and let's have a great tournament!

 

We will see how this plays out this year and discuss it at the closing social.  At that time, if we feel like changes should be made, we will vote on it at that time.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
