Suspension of Play Day

Hello Ladies,

Well we just can't seem to catch a break with our new 2020 season.  Today some of the men's groups have suspended play until we see how the Covid-19 virus is going to affect our area.  Right now there are only 2 cases in Coweta County, but that number is sure to grow.  

Since many of our ladies are over 65 or have family members that are older, some have underlying health issues, the board has decided that we should suspend play days until further notice.  The Senior Men's association, Cannon Group, and Gillespie group are also suspending their play days.

Many of you can still get out there and hit the ball and and even use the assigned tee times on Thursday mornings, however, we ask that you do not gather as a group in the club house, as that is the reason for suspension.  

It is also recommended by me that you keep your distance.  Don't share carts and keep yourself at safe distances from others.  If you do take a cart, make sure you wipe down all the surfaces that you will be touching with a disinfectant.

The club house staff has taken as many precautions as possible to keep the club house sanitized and disinfected.  

Let's practice safe measures for self quarantine and not exacerbate the problem.  We don't want to have over run hospitals and over extended medical staff in Coweta county.

Stay safe, wash your hands and try not to touch your face.

Opening Day 2020

Well another rainy start to another season.  Our fun game was rained out for opening day, but we hope to reschedule it for April.

We had our first business meeting and breakfast with 38 in attendance. Welcome new members:

Cricket Crenshaw

Roxann Allen

Becky Cochran

The members present voted unanimously to amend the by-laws of WOLGA to add the position of Corresponding Secretary to the board.

Diane Tschantz was elected to fill the newly created board position and will serve one year.

The GHIN system will now be using the World Handicap System, and therefore the ESC method has changed.  When posting your scores outside the WOLGA play day group it is best to use the hole by hole entry system in order to calculate the ESC for your scores.  If you have questions you may ask the pro-shop or Lisa Jones for assistance.

See you next week.
