March 27-Cat Fight and Wear Your Team

 

Let's celebrate our favorite teams!  It doesn't have to be college basketball teams only.  Baseball season is right around the corner. 

The format is Catfight.

Double bogey-1 point

Bogey-2 points

Par-3 points

Birdie-4 points

Eagle-5 points

Points needed calculation: Subtract your course handicap from 54,

for example, 54-14=40 points would need to be pulled.

 

We will be playing Seminole (Please note change).  Check in at 9:30 and shot gun at 10:00.  We will be selling discount 50/50 tickets- 3 for $2.00. 

 

It's not too late to sign up for the April 17th Ringer Tournament.  Bring $10.00 and see Janis Turner. 

 

 

Par 3 Scramble

We had good weather and very good attendance which broke our last year's  record with 45 ladies. 
Fifteen teams played holes as short as 40 yards and as far as 149 yards.  It was a great opportunity to work on our approach shots. 
Dottie Steward won a big 50/50 purse of over $30.00.  We will be having our buy 3 for $2.00 again next week. 

Here are the results:

1st Place- Team of VanGelder/Miller/Shepard with -2
2nd Place-There were three teams tied with -1, but tie was broken and the team of Rezba/Young/Head placed 2nd
3rd Place-  Team of Clonts/Cox/Uher

Thanks to Sean Renaud for all your help setting up the course and making our score sheets.  It was fun having you play #9 with all the ladies. 

Here are some photos from today:

Remember to see Janis Turner to sign up for the Ringer Tournament which is April 17.  Cost is $10.00
You will get another reminder mid week but don't forget to wear your team colors, jersey's, hats, visors, etc. of your favorite teams in conjunction with March Madness.  (It doesn't have to be fav college basketball team.  You can have your fav baseball, fav sports team in general.)  You can mix it up if you have more than one.) 

April 17th- It's Ringer Time the First Tournament of the Year

Remember this beautiful gem?  One just like it or even more beautiful could be yours if you sign up for the Ringer Tournament next month.

Here is the format... We will play the front 9 holes of Old Course twice... the golfer who most improves her score will win!!

Sign ups begin this Thursday.  Entry fee is $10.00 and prizes will be paid out to flight winners in addition to the overall winner.  Let's have a big turn out for our first tournament of the year.  See Janis Turner, tournament chair to sign up. 

 



March 20- Rescheduled Par 3

 

Don't worry, Sean won't have any Par 3 holes like this. 

Let's hope not anyway. 

Weather forecast for Thursday is looking good for our Par 3 Scramble on Old Course.  You will be divided up into teams of 3 or 4 and each team will have players of all abilities. 

(Our original format was Throw Out the Worst 3 Holes.  We will postpone our first Guest Day until April 17)

 

For all your March Madness fans and upcoming baseball season, March 27 will be,

WEAR YOUR FAVORITE TEAM. 

(Visors, hats, shirts, socks, etc.)

I know we have some die-hard fans out there.  Let's see how many different teams are represented. 

First Play Day March 13, 2014

Yes, it was too cold to play golf and yes, some brave souls showed up to play. 
We had our first charter member of the 'Birdie Club' today. 

Congrats to Susan Clonts as she made a birdie on #5 Seminole at 10:54am.  Beth Shepard joined her in the club with a birdie on #16.
Beth also had one chip in.

Results of today Best 9, front or back:

1st place- Beth Shepard with a 32.5

2nd place- Susan Clonts with a 38.5

3rd place-Arleen Carleo with a 39.5

Ladies, we will postpone our GUEST DAY until April as we will hopefully have our Scramble Par 3 next week, March 20th. 

White Oak Ladies Birdie Club

Our golf league is beginning a new club and everyone can join!  Instead of receiving a birdie pin at the end of the season you will receive a cute 'birdie towel'.  All you have to do to join is get a birdie during a Thursday organized Wolga play day. 
Who is going to be the first member of the club?  We will soon see.  (They are too cute to get dirty though)
Ladies, please know your index prior to signing up for the morning play.  It will save lots of  time.  See you tomorrow with your windbreakers as it's supposed to be mighty breezy tomorrow.  
 

Pre St. Patrick's Day!!

 

 

Even though it's not quite here,

Have no fear,

I thought it might be keen,

To wear a little green. 

 

There won't be a pot of gold at the end of the  rainbow, but maybe a little treat after your round. 

 

Don't forget, we are on Seminole this week.  Check in at

9:30 SHARP and shotgun at 10:00am.

(This is different from what the handbook says.) 

 Check in first in the clubhouse.  Just look for Beth McShepard and Linda O'Brown. 

You may get a cart to load your clubs as we do not have anyone picking up clubs from your car. Of course, walking is allowed. 

For the newbies, we draw a tile to see who you will be playing with for the day.
