First General Meeting of the year will be held at 8:30 AM in the Magnolia/Pine room. Every member of the KWGA is encouraged to attend. Then afterwards, both the 9 & 18 Hole Leagues will each play Ace of Aces. AND after play there will be Birthday cake in Ladies Locker Room to celebrate January birthday girls!

 

Check-in times are different on General Meeting days:

18-Hole League, tent outside Pro Shop: 7:40-8:20

9-Hole League, Ladies Locker Room: 8:00-8:20

 

Please be on time! There is a 2-stroke penalty to a player that arrives after check-in, even one minute is considered late.  Apply the two strokes to the hole you start on and indicate on your scorecard that the penalty was applied.

 

Bring your quarters if you wish to join in the various 50 cent pots. 

18 hole league has 3 (CTP, Chip-ins, Low putts)

9 hole league has 2 (CTP, Chip-ins)

 

We are still collecting for HIO and Horse Race so bring $5.00 for the Hole-In-One Pot and $5.00 for the Horse Race if you want to participate in these games.

 

Weather:  Assume we will be playing unless the course is closed.  The weather for Tuesday looks warm but wet. If you do not want to play given the perceived conditions, cancel before the Noon Sunday deadline via the Golf Genius app or reply “not playing” to Tim’s sign-up email.
