President Welcome Letter....

 

Hi there Ladies!  With the snow on the ground outside, it’s hard to believe that golf season is just around the corner, but before you know it we’ll be out there enjoying our favorite sport!  I can hardly wait! Mark your calendars now, because our opening social/ice breaker fun scramble will be on Wednesday, April 6^th and regular league play will begin the next week.  Remember that you are responsible for making your own tee times each week..   

 

This year’s league registration form is attached to this email.  Please fill it out and get it to me no later than March 31^st.  If you have any golfing friends or know of anyone who would like to join our awesome league, please forward the info to them as well!  A copy of our Plays of the Days for this season is also attached. 

Good news – The Ringer Book is back!!  It cost an additional $5.00 for anyone who wants to join that competition. You can either pay your $5 the first day you play league, or new this year, you can add it to your registration dues and send it in with them.  For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a quick rundown on what the ringer competition is all about:  

 The Ringers competition is a fun little challenge that lasts all season.  It allows players to better their own score on each hole over the season.  At the end of the season, all of your best scores for each hole are calculated to give one 18-hole score.  The more rounds you play, the better chance you have to improve your hole by hole score and your final Ringer’s score.  Each player will be responsible for keeping track of their own ringer scores in the ringer book that will be available on the Ladies Association table.   

 Special Notes: 

 

*Just a reminder .... All members of the Sun Hills Ladies Golf Association must have an active 18-hole UGA handicap.  -NO EXCEPTIONS-   Handicaps must be established no later than May 31, 2022.  

 

*We will again be having our closest to the hole contests each week.  Please make sure that you each have a measuring tape in your bag, so you can use it to measure your distance to the hole.   

  

*A new POD (Play of the Day) schedule will be posted to the blog and put up at the course.  (I've also attached a copy to this email)  There will also be a sign put up at the check in desk, reminding you of the specific play of the day for that day.   

 

*At the closing social we voted that we would no longer have to fill out the little POD sheets each week.  Please just put your signed scorecard in the container on the Ladies table after your round and I’ll take care of the rest.   

 

* The play of the day fee is $4 per week again this year. 

 

* Just a reminder, the following rule was approved by the league last year:  Tuesday is designated as an optional day to play for the league.  We would still prefer you to play on Wednesday, if at all possible, but the new option means that if you cannot play on Wednesday of a specific week, for any reason, you can play the Tuesday before and it will still count as league play.  (You still need to pay the $4 POD fee).  However, those who play on Tuesday will not get a chance to play for closest to the hole that week.  You will need to make your own tee time and you must play with another member of the league. 

 

*Mike wanted me to let you know that Sun Hills has raised their rates across the board by $1 per nine holes. The punch passes are still by far the best deal.

Hi there ladies!  It seems like it went from summer to fall overnight!  It's super sad for me to see the golf season come to an end.  But knowing it will be back in six short months makes it a little more bearable!  Just a quick thank you to everyone who joined us this year!  We truly have a wonderful league, full of outstanding and fun ladies!  I am so thankful to be a part of it!  I honestly look forward to seeing and spending time with you guys each week!  

I hope you guys have enjoyed the "FUN" plays of the day the last few weeks.  It's nice to have a change of pace from time to time.  We will discuss this and many other items at our closing social, which is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13th.  If you want your voices heard, please plan to attend.  If the weather cooperates, we would like to have a 9-hole scramble before the meeting.  It would be fun for each of us to meet new ladies too.  So we would like to make fun, mixed up teams.  

So, the scramble will start at 4 pm, with the dinner following play, and the meeting following dinner.   It will be a fun night.  I hope you can all attend!  That night, you will just have to pay for your golf and cart.  No play of the day fee and no fee for dinner. 

I need a head count for the night.  So, please send me a quick email at ckjm3@msn.com or a quick text at 801-391-8409, with the following information:

• Please let me know if you will be able to attend.
• Let me know if you will be golfing AND eating or just eating.  
• Let me know if you are okay with being on a "mixed up" team with different ladies.  (Great way to meet new ladies and make new friends)
• If you feel like you "MUST" play with a person you know, please let me know that too.
• If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions that you would like discussed at the social, please include this info as well.  

Please get this info to me within the next few days so I can get going on plans.  

We still have one more week of league play, (October 6th) so please come play that day as well!  Then the social will be the next Wednesday.

Thanks so much guys!!!  I look forward to hearing from you all!

 

Karen
