Welcome Back Ladies!!!
We'll begin the season with our annual opening-night cocktail party and orientation/meeting. You will see familiar faces and meet future golf partners at this social event. You will learn about how the league works such as how to sign up for events, how to establish your golf handicap, and other league customs that will make your golf season great!
May 9 4-Person Scramble
The season's first event is the popular 4-person scramble. In a scramble format, each player tees off and the best drive is chosen. All players hit their second shot from that location. This process is repeated until the ball is holed. At least one drive from each player must be used. The scramble can also be played as a 2 or 3 person team.
May 16 Individual Scoring; Hole Contests
Each player will play her own ball and count every single stroke. This will give you a true measure of your improvement throughout the season. Players in a group will attest the other players score and post it to your handicap record. In addition, each hole will have a contest:
#1 Shortest Drive
#2, #3 Longest Drive
#4 Closest in 2 Shots
#5 Closest to the Pin
#6 Closest to the Lake Without Going In
#7 Most Accurate (Closest to the Aiming Pole)
#8 Furthest From the Pin But On The Green In 1 Shot
