Playday News and more
Hey All,
I apologize for only just today getting to last weeks results and getting the scores posted. Just have had a lot going on lately - mostly good. Last week I went to friends fathers funeral in Hickory NC and I want to thank Janis T. for pinch hitting for me at the last moment. Like I just told Pat - heck Janis can run play day with her eyes closed after running GWSGA!
Last weeks winners playing T-F's:
1st - Janis Turner 28.5
2nd - Arleen Carleo 29.5
3rd - Judy Furlong 29.5
and honorable mention - Linda Mitchell also with 29.5 and who shot a 97 overall last week. Linda - you and Dick stay in our prayers! Glad you get to come out with us and be normal - whatever that is!
Below is a flyer from the Senior Men. Contact your nearest senior man to get raffle tix! GREAT prize for a great cause!
Tomorrow - Summergrove! Check in at 8:45 - drop dead 9:00. See ya!

Playday Results
Hey All,
Great day for golf - sure was a whole lot cooler than Valdosta as Janis and Brenda and I can attest! If you haven't heard a report on the GSWGA tournament this week - it was awesome. Janis Turner (the Pres!) did us proud as well Judy Furlong who spent most of the last few weeks working on the tournament. It was a great event and many of our Canongate Ladies brought home winnings! I urge you all to consider joining seniors next January. Gives you a good incentive to get that handicap down (must be 26 or less to join) and my new incentive is to play on the same course as the low cappers next year. In golf there is always incentive to do better - right? No matter what age!
I want everyone to know I had a good meeting with Justin (WhiteOak/Summergrove GM) this afternoon. First on my list was the lack of expertise (how diplomatic was that) we have experienced at Summergrove in recent weeks. Also, the fact we have other players crowded in the middle of us most weeks. When the "pro" knows what they're doing, they know how to start us with the tee times they've allowed and Justin assured me we will have a real pro at Summergrove going forward on our play days. When we get down to two courses I get it, we may be more crowded and we will deal with that. I trust also we will know before 8:15 if the course is CPO or not! I also addressed safety on the Seminole course in particular and the need for a ranger all the times - especially when school is out. I used to get off work and walk Seminole by myself in the afternoons. Even if I could walk I wouldn't do that if you paid me right now! I for one do not want any more surprises in the halfway house. Just ask me, Marilyn or Pat if you haven' heard that story! And I addressed the need for a fixed schedule for WOLGA and if course location has to change - we need to be informed. Last week I sent out the email saying Seminole which was according to the schedule I got from the pro shop then had an email from Susan G. who happened to see we were on the Summergrove schedule. Thus - the oooops message from me. Been funnier if had all just showed up over there.... Margaret joined me and we gave Justin input for the White Oak Ladies Championship and how we can garner more participation. He seems intent on getting more ladies into the mix so we'll see.
ALSO - I apologize if I haven't been clear about the scorecards when we play net best ball. Next time - I DO NOT need individual cards. I need one card with the game, complete names or initials when needed (not just Bev or Shirley or Mary- there are multiples of some of us but Ardy, Lanelle - there's only one of you!) and HCP. I also want a master with at least the gross scores on it - for verification. Write master on that card. Please always - every playday - put your name in the name field of your card - not just on the sticker. It just makes it easier for me, Diane or whoever else has to look at the cards post play. And even when it's best ball I do post the scores so the playday sheet needs to be completed. That is where I post from. There are no picks ups ever on playday until you max out for your handicap (7-teens, 8 - 20's, 9- 30's) in a best ball or 10 on any other playday. I will get scores posted tomorrow if at all possible.
TODAYS WINNERS:
1st - Sandi K, Holly, Trisha Nease and Charlotte - 61
2nd - Christine Campbell, Cheryl D and Ardy - 62
3rd - Lanelle, Lyn Cunningham and Janis T. - 63
and for glory.... Carol Head, Linda Mitchell and Carol Mc - also with 63
Next week we are on Seminole playing T's and F's. See ya then! mm

Senior Men Scramble results
Hey Gang,
I sure hope everyone had a good time yesterday. It was an awesome day to be out there. Playing with the guys is so much fun but the task of the "coordinators" is a big job. Dave Furlong and I worked as hard as we could to make the teams equitable but when you have people who sign in and don't show up and those who show up and don't sign in (the men - not talking about us!) it gets more than a little crazy. Then to have one show up at the carts that hadn't even checked in at all. Really not cool. But oh well, it is suppose to be about having a fun day and maybe giving back a little to charity. I had one complaint come back to me but just as I have said before - if you want my job - you can have it. Most of what I heard was laughter and I saw a lot of smiles in clubhouse and I will not let one negative comment spoil my high. I think the vast majority of people had a great day. I guess it is all about your perspective on why you're there. Like a good friend of mine said the other day - we lead a charmed life - and if you don't that, I guess you just don't get it.
Congrats to our winners.....
1st - Lisa Jones

Thanks to all who contributed from their winnings back to Angel's House. I thought that was awesome. And if you didn't hear what I was crying about I'll summarize and elaborate. On Oct 28th, 2001 I saw Alan Jackson sing at the Newnan High School football field. It was a fund raiser for Angel's House (Coweta shelter for abused women and children) which was just getting started. A venue like that - only about 8000 people. I danced at the foot of the stage all night! He sang a song that night for his mama and dedicated to his father who had recently passed away. The name of it was " The Other Side of Life". Little did I know that the next night I would l lose my husband to a heart attack. When I went to McKoon's to plan Mickey's funeral I told the guy - I want the song Alan Jackson sang at the concert. Some of Alan's family works at McKoon's and I knew they had an inside track. They called Alan and he told them he'd never recorded the song but told us who had recorded it (Vern Gosdin for any of you real country music lovers) and I was able to get the song for his funeral. In Mo's obituary I requested donations be made to Angel's House. I forget how much money he raised for them - well over $1000 in donations. Later from some friends I had received cash and Alan Jackson donated one of his Corvette's to be raffled off for Angel's House. I bought $100+ worth of tickets just knowing I would win that 'Vette! Didn't win but I didn't get interviewed by KICKS that night on the square. ;o)
Our ladies group is awesome and I love and care for each one of you! Remember, every shot (in life or in golf) must have a purpose.
Life is good. mm

Yesterday's results
It was a pretty day at the 'Grove. We have had such a beautiful spring for golf... WOW!
Here's the winners:
Low Gross - Janis T with an 88!
Low Net - Diane Mason with 64!
2nd Net - Norma Martin (there's that name again) with 70!
The popular score of the day was 106 - I posted a bunch of those!
Once again - next week (5/3) we are hosting the Senior Men on the Old Course. If you did not sign up yesterday please email me back if you want to play. Have your breakfast goodies to the club by 8:15. We shotgun at 9:30.
Bev Lowell, Let me know if any of the 9 holers who have handicaps want to play. Todd can help someone determine an equitable handicap if they do not have one in GHIN. That goes for your question as well Jane Buck.
The Old course is closing soon and I told Todd I did not want to move our play days to any other club than our own so we'll be seeing a lot of Seminole. Here is our current MAY SCHEDULE.
5/3 - Old (Scramble with senior men)
5/10 - Seminole
5/17 - Seminole
5/24 - Summergrove
5/31 - Seminole
Have a good week! Tee it up when you can and remember - we do get mulligans in life! ;o)

Last Thursday's playday, Tomorrow, Next Week and Senior men Scramble
Hey All,
First, I apologize for not getting to this sooner. I was still recovering from Ardy's outing! For those who did not make it I urge you to put it on your calendar next year. What great fun and after all isn't that we are all about?? It was an awesome two days! ;o)
Susan C., Thanks so much for organizing playday last week. The game was Low Grow/Low Net. Scored have just been posted.
1st Low Gross - Carole Cavanaugh with a 79 (Great playing Carole!)
1st Low Net - Norma Martin - Net 65
2nd Low Net - Brenda Dumas - Net 66
Tomorrow is day 2 of the Handicap Tourney. Yes it was wet today but most of us survived. Hope you're signed up. There is not an official playday when we have tourneys but you can come play behind the tournament. We won't turn you away. BE EARLY though so we know and can figure out where to put you.
Next Thursday (not tomorrow) April 26th we are at Summergrove. Hope they can figure out where to start us this time! ;o)
AND we are Scrambling with the Senior Men on May 3rd - not next week as indicated in the book. The men had to move the date because of a conflict. I'm not sure if we are hosting them (good breakfast) or they are hosting us (doughnuts)! I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Shoooooo - what a play day!
Hey Gang,
After adding and verifying cards here are the results for today:
1st - Bev Morris - 32
2nd - Norma Martin - 32.5
3rd - Shirley Payne - 33
WAY to go y'all!
I'm glad the Proshop screw up was transparent to many of you. Thank you Susan for setting us as right as possible. My brain just doesn't work that fast. Here is what happened. When you run playday you ask the "PRO" (1st problem - there wasn't one there) which holes to start on. So John was the only one there. He said " I don't know" then he said 1 forward. So after everyone had left the room to go to their carts I hear we are suppose to be in foursomes! NEWS TO ME! WE HAVEN'T PLAYED FOURSOMES IN THREE YEARS! Problem was Mike only had 9 holes blocked off for us. He came out and apologized and I trust it won't happen again. I work hard to make our playdays run smoothly and it only takes one incompetent man to screw it up! No I am not bitter! ;o) Still sorry I let it get to me so bad....and thank you all for being so understanding. I have already put $5 in my F bucket. ;o)
NEXT WEEK - OLD COURSE and guest day. Susan Clonts will be running playday. Y'all have fun as many of us will be out of town on Ardy's outing! Heaven knows I need a day off!
Scores are not yet posted. It may be Monday until I get to them.
HAPPY EASTER!!!! Luv, mm
