2020 Awards and Year End Lunch

Thank you God for such a beautiful day. We had lovely weather and the company was even better.  We had 32 ladies come out today to the back lower patio of White Oak and salute 2020 year of Wolga.  We enjoyed Mimosas and Poinsettias compliments of WOLGA and some of us enjoyed a boxed lunch and cookies.  I forgot to mention today that my auditor for the annual stats was Lanelle Heminger.  We reviewed all data under dual control.

We had a moment of silence for those that left us this year and a video memorial tribute.  You can view the video here, if you missed it today.

Year End Awards and Golf

 Merry Christmas and Happy Year Ladies of Wolga,

This year has certainly been a year like no other for our LGA.  I really appreciate everyone holding it together and trying to make the best of a very bad situation.  For a year that was plagued, literally with the plague, everyone pulled together and enjoyed what they could for play day.  We actually had some record participation.  I will compare it to toilet paper: if you make it seem scarce everyone wants some.  

This season's year end celebration will be somewhat limited in nature.  I have arranged for us to meet on the lower back patio of the club house at the fire pit area on December 10th.  Michelle is planning a simple box lunch pickup arrangement for those that want to have a bite to eat (I will let you know the cost later).  We will have a champagne toast for those that want to go inside and pickup a cocktail at the bar.  I will be there at 10:30, and we will have our toast at 11.  The fire pit will be lit and there will be additional heaters on the lower patio.  If you are not able to gather on the patio, you are welcome to take a chair and sit on the grassy area below, or in your cart.   

We will observe our Memorial Moment to honor those that we lost this season.  I have a video prepared for the TVs on the upper patio.  We will have a memorial table there in remembrance. 

I will present the annual award winners at 11:30, if you are a winner and unable to attend your prize will be available for pickup at my house after the event on the 10th.  For any that feel comfortable in the dining area, you may also sit inside.  

An email from Golf Genius will be sent later today, please RSVP to that email like you do normally for a play day event.  

We will have some tee times blocked off after noon for those that would like to play nine holes.  

There are no official games for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021, however, we will have a block of tee times every week and an email will be sent out for signup as usual.  This is for the purpose of informing the proshop of the number of times and players we have for the day.

I hope to see everyone on the 10th, and if not I wish you and your family a safe and Happy Holiday Season and Merry Christmas.

Play Day Results for August 20th

Sorry for any confusion today for course of play.  When the rounds were set up last month (30 days in advance) our course was Old, however I did not check to see of the course was still the same.  It was my error and I am sorry for any confusion. Please do not give the play day committee a hard time for the switching of course.  It is really not different than we always played in the passed. We did not know for sure which course we were playing until Thursday morning.  It is really no big deal, please do not kill the messenger unless you want to volunteer to be the MESSENGER!!  Skins today were all net since we had less than 30 players.

Suspension of Play Day

Hello Ladies,

Well we just can't seem to catch a break with our new 2020 season.  Today some of the men's groups have suspended play until we see how the Covid-19 virus is going to affect our area.  Right now there are only 2 cases in Coweta County, but that number is sure to grow.  

Since many of our ladies are over 65 or have family members that are older, some have underlying health issues, the board has decided that we should suspend play days until further notice.  The Senior Men's association, Cannon Group, and Gillespie group are also suspending their play days.

Many of you can still get out there and hit the ball and and even use the assigned tee times on Thursday mornings, however, we ask that you do not gather as a group in the club house, as that is the reason for suspension.  

It is also recommended by me that you keep your distance.  Don't share carts and keep yourself at safe distances from others.  If you do take a cart, make sure you wipe down all the surfaces that you will be touching with a disinfectant.

The club house staff has taken as many precautions as possible to keep the club house sanitized and disinfected.  

Let's practice safe measures for self quarantine and not exacerbate the problem.  We don't want to have over run hospitals and over extended medical staff in Coweta county.

Stay safe, wash your hands and try not to touch your face.

Course Rotation for March

WOLGA course rotation for March 2020

March 5th - Old Course

March 12th - Seminole

March 19th - Old Course

March 26th - Old Course

Opening Day 2020

Well another rainy start to another season.  Our fun game was rained out for opening day, but we hope to reschedule it for April.

We had our first business meeting and breakfast with 38 in attendance. Welcome new members:

Cricket Crenshaw

Roxann Allen

Becky Cochran

The members present voted unanimously to amend the by-laws of WOLGA to add the position of Corresponding Secretary to the board.

Diane Tschantz was elected to fill the newly created board position and will serve one year.

The GHIN system will now be using the World Handicap System, and therefore the ESC method has changed.  When posting your scores outside the WOLGA play day group it is best to use the hole by hole entry system in order to calculate the ESC for your scores.  If you have questions you may ask the pro-shop or Lisa Jones for assistance.

See you next week.
