The Tournament Calendar has been rearranged somewhat for 2008. Please note that, among other changes, the Senior Club Championship will be held in August this year, a few weeks prior to the Club Championship.
In an attempt to address instances of unacceptably slow play that have arisen in Association tournaments recently, the following policy has been adopted: If a group falls more than 1 hole behind the group ahead, any Association member is authorized to warn the group that they must regain their proper position. Failure to regain position expeditiously will result in stroke penalties being assessed to all members of the group.
Association members are reminded to post all scores. The officers reserve the right to post an even par 71 as a substitute for unposted scores.
*If you can not make it over to the course to sign up for events call the pro shop to sign up.*
