Beat the Pro

We had 25 ladies versus Sean Renaud... He's a brave man but he survived the day playing with one group, waiting on another group, etc. He was a real trooper and pulled out a gross 77.


Ten ladies had a net 76 or lower and will get to double their wager as pro shop credit.

Remember, if you didn't beat the pro, you still get your wager as pro shop credit.



They are:

Margaret Choi 76

Susan Clonts 71

Sarah Connors 74

Louise Cox 71

Brenda Dumas 74

Lanelle Heminger 76

Sandra Lancaster 76

Changes in Calendar

Please make the following changes in your calendar.




September 12- West Georgia Handicap Tournament at White Oak

Wolga Throw Out the Worst 3 Holes (Guest Day will be postponed)

***Sean is going to put West GA and Wolga ladies not playing West GA out on a shotgun start.

Sean would also like to get an estimate on who is going to play with the Wolga ladies on that day. It'll be kind of crazy that day but at least the men's group will be playing at Canongate. I will send out an email closer to that date to get a head count of those playing Wolga.



September 19- Our ladies will be playing at an alternate location as the W.O. courses will be closed due to a big event. Sean is going to try to get Canongate but will let us know later.

Don't forget to email Beth at pbshepard@charter.net to sign up for the Solheim Cup/White Oak style.  We already have 10 signed up.  It'll be a fun day but there will be no posting of scores and no birdie or chip in sheets for the format planned. 

August 8, 2013- Solheim Cup White Oak Style

Our format will be a little different than usual. 

• You will need to let us know if you are going to play via email.  Since I send this via mass email you can just reply to me that you are planning on playing.
• You will be paired ahead of time.  We will put a A or B player with a C or D player so our combined indexes will be as close as possible.  (Flighting may be an option when we see how many sign up)
• If you choose not to play in this format but want to play, you are welcomed to and will get your point for participation but will not be in contention. 
• Holes 1-6 will be Alternate Shot. 
• Holes 7-12 will be Best Ball.
• Holes 13-18 will be 2 man Scramble
• Cards and Signs at holes will be color coded.  You will need to pay attention to what hole you are on and make sure you are following the correct format. 
• Of course you may wear your Red/White/Blue outfits to celebrate this great country of ours. 
• Please remind your buddies to check their emails and blog so they will know they have to be signed up to participate in the Solheim Cup before next Thursday morning.  Deadline is Wednesday, August 7th at 6:00pm.  Anyone who signs up later than that will just be playing for participation points.

More information to come....
