The 3rd tournament of the 2008  year was held at Beckett Ridge on a day that was beautiful weather wise. Although I am not a fan of the shotgun start, golf was slow but it worked out. Playing a shotgun start lowers the price of golf. The greens are some of the most challenging in the area.

 

Just a reminder that there is no guarantee if you cancel out after paying your entry fees that you will get a refund. We try to find replacements but if not you may lose your money. We have to give the course a number of golfers 10 days in advance and some of the courses lock you in on that number.

 

There were a few golfers that wanted to play at Beckett Ridge that missed the deadline entry. You are able to send in your entry early.

The next tournament will be held at Hueston Woods on Saturday and Weatherwax on Sunday.  The date of this tournament will be June 8th & 9th with tee times starting around 8:00 AM on Saturday and 12:00 on Sunday. The format of this tourney is a 2 MAN both balls on Saturday and 4 MAN ALL BALLS on Sunday. Sign up as a twosomes and teams will be blind drawn.

 

This price of $43 does not include a cart or range balls for each day. The deadline for this tourney is May 29, 2008. You can walk if you want too. People will be paired by a blind draw.

 

Handicaps are the responsibility of the individuals. I do not post scores for your USGA handicaps. You must do that yourself.  Many people did not or do not have the right amount of scores for your USGA handicaps.

 

Like all of our remaining tourneys full handicap will be used. We do occasionally check to see if some of our people post scores. If someone continues to stay at a higher handicap in their USGA without posting all their scores we will question their handicaps and adjust if necessary.  If you don’t have a paid USGA handicap by this tourney your handicap will be reduced at least two strokes.

 

People who do not have a paid handicap from here on out will not receive the adjusted handicaps to the course rating we play. You will be singled out in the future so everyone knows who is not playing by the rules. Some players played in more MAGA Tourneys than they had posted scores from last year. This will not be tolerated and is not fair to the people who do post their scores.

 

There are some that don’t even post their high scores either. You can post your scores on the internet from your home. If you need help in doing this, give TJ Cope a call and he can explain it to you.

 

This will be the last mailing to members who have not paid for the 2008 memberships.
