(Ladies, if you get a birdie or chip in but you don't pay the 25 cents, please let me know if you are accidentally left off this list.  You still get your points and towel if it's a birdie) 

Let me know if you left early and have earned a birdie towel.  I'd really like to have a photo of you receiving it. 

 

We had 4 cards turned in without signing and attesting. We need to do a better job of this. 

 

Lisa Jones had way over $100 of wagers for Pick a Pro to win the Masters.  We will let you know who the winner is Sunday evening or asap. 

April 10- Throw Out the Worst 3 Holes

This week we will be on Seminole for our playday.  The format will be Throw out the Worst 3 holes.  (Add up your gross score for posting purposes.  Then subtract your 3 highest scores from your gross.  Finally you will subtract 1/2 of  your course handicap and that will be your game score.)  Remember, check in by 9:30, shotgun at 10:00. 

Pick Your Pro to win the Masters.  This is completely optional.  You may bet $3.00 for each pro you think will win.  We will add your net from playday to the pro's Sunday score to come up with a winner.  Last year Lanelle H. was the winner and received about $50.00.  Lisa Jones will be taking wagers this week. Here are your choices:

April 3-Low Gross/Low Net

We will be playing on Seminole again on April 3rd, but hopefully the greens will be in better shape since the aerification.  We will award the two top low gross and two  top low net.

Now for a little golf housekeeping:

• Double check your scorecards before turning them in.  There were only a few errors on this week's cards. Please remember to sign them as directed before you turn them in as if it were a tournament.  (good practice for tournaments)
• Remember to circle birdies/chip ins on those sheets and make sure you put scores, adj. scores, birdies/chip ins in the proper column.  This allows us to cross check your stats before we record them in the stats (Beth does this) and ringers (Linda does this)
• New members, please feel free to ask any of us if you don't understand, there's alot to remember. 
• Ladies, in keeping with the integrity of the game of golf, please record the rounds you play into the GHIN system.  This will give Wolga and you a true picture of your ability. We post your Wolga playday scores but it is up to you to record any other round you play even if it is only 9 holes. 

The following week, April 10, we will have our own optional side bets called "Pick a Pro". 
Lisa Jones will be taking $3.00 per pro bets on who you think might win on Sunday.  You may pick as many pros you want ($3.00 each)  Winners will be determined on your net score combined with your pros Sunday score.  Last year's winner was Lanelle Heminger. 

One more thing....
There are two big tournaments coming up that you might want to be a part of.  Those are:

• Georgia Women's Golf Association Four Ball Tournament (Two lady teams)- April 29-30 (Deadline for registering is April 8th) Must have index of 23.2 or less.
• Georgia Senior Women's Golf Association-May 20-21 (Entry forms are now available on line)Must have an index no higher than 26.1.
