Christmas is HERE!

We had a lovely sunny day (cold) for our 'End of Year' luncheon.  White Oak prepared a nice lunch and we had several homemade desserts.

We had lots of door prizes and Janis Turner won the lovely wreath prepared by Norma Martin.

Our table decor was arranged by Diane Tschantz.  She made the center pieces and decorated the mini golf carts.  Thank you Diane for serving this year as our official event hostess.

If you are interested the agenda of the meeting held last week about course conditions, you can look at the agenda and video below.

Some of you have been asking how the meeting went with General Manager, Joe Russello, about the conditions at White Oak.  We have not completed our meetings yet, but I can share with you what was discussed at the initial meeting and presentation.

I have attached a copy of our agenda of items that were discussed and also a link to the presentation video.

As you know Mr. Russello has addressed some of these issues in the General Manager's newsletter that was sent to the general membership.

Video Presentation Power Point

Agenda

Play Day Results for July 26th

Well the Old Course must have been a real beast today.  We had 29 ladies complete all 18 on those sandy greens. 

A question today arose about Mulligans.  You may use your mulligan to achieve a 'Closest to the Pin', just like you may use it to get a birdie or chipin or any other point.  However, it may not be used for a Hole-In-One. Since there is really no such thing as a mulligan in GSGA golf, and a HIO is a legitimate award through the GSGA, a HIO on a mulligan shot is invalid.  However, in our game it would be 'closest to the pin' and also it would award you 8 points.

For our Low Gross - Low Net game our winners are:

Flight A 

Low Gross - Susan Clonts 72

Low Net - Ann Henderson 71*

*Card playoff with Joan Land
