Tee Off Breakfast 2019

We had a great turnout for our 'Tee' off Breakfast Thursday.  42 of our ladies attended to enjoy the breakfast that White Oak provided, and of course it was greatly enhanced by 2 lovely fruit trays, prepared by our event hostess, Diane Tschantz.  Thank you to our sponsor Josh Colwell of Edward Jones for providing funding for the event.
See our Photos Smile Page for photos.

I hope everyone enjoyed the morning.

We had our first business meeting of the season and discussed play day, the budget and the directory.  A copy of the directory with corrections will be emailed to the members at the end of this month. Please contact Lisa Jones, secretary, if you have any changes to your directory information.

The Golf Genius site has been updated with a complete roster of our 65 members.  You should have received a registration email to sign up for the roster and check your portal information.

Each week on Thursday evening or Friday morning you will receive an email from Golf Genius to sign-up for the up coming Thursday event. It is not mandatory, but it is a nice way to let the play day committee know about how many will be attending and how many holes we will need assigned to us from the pro-shop.  You can respond yes (playing) and then later change.  Changes can be made until 8am on Thursday.

Note: The Golf Genius app for Smartphones is not compatible for White Oak.  It is an extra fee to the club to allow use of the app and the site, and it is one part of the GHIN/GSGA that White Oak does not participate.  Sorry.  You can however set a short cut to your browser (just like this blog) to take you to the GG Portal.

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.
