GSWGA Fall Team Championship

Just a heads up to all our Wolga Ladies who are members of GSWGA:

The annual fall GSWGA team championships is right around the corner. The tournament registration will be emailed this Monday, August 25. You can also print a registration form from the GSWGA website if you are a member of GSWGA but have never played before. It is very important that you send the form and entry fee as soon as possible as the tournament fills up fast. So get it out Monday and no later than Tuesday. They will have a waiting list but it does not guarantee you get bumped up to play.

Guidelines on being eligible to play are on the website

August 21, 2014

We had 32 two ladies play today in the intense heat.  Two of our ladies did not complete all 18 holes.  Hope they are alright.  It is important to listen to our bodies especially under extreme weather conditions.  

***Please take note that until further notice we will be checking in at 8:30 and shotgun at 9am sharp.  

Results

1st place- tie between Margaret Lauer and Jen Pierson with a 33 but Margaret won in regression on number 9, our hardest  hole.

Next week- Handbook has Cat Fight.  We will not play that format next week.  We missed our Throw Out the Worst Three Holes last week during the Sister Cup week so we will play that format August 28th.  We haven't played that format in quite a while.  

CHANGE IN STARTING TIME

Ladies, we have been approved to start 30 minutes earlier tomorrow.  That means check in 8:30 and shotgun at 9:00.  Stay tuned as to whether we will continue with this time. Please pass along to your buddies who do not check emails regularly. 

Pro Picks 9

Gather all your hot weather gear, energy drinks, and shade hats as the forecast calls for temperatures in the 90's on Thursday. 

We will FINALLY be back on the Old Course.  Sean or Robert will pick 9 holes and put them in an envelope for us to see when we finish our round.  We will subtract half our handicap from those 9 holes chosen.  (Last year he picked the 9 most difficult holes.)

Ladies, some of our members enjoy outdoor activities other than golf.  Check out Christine Beauchamp below:
