OFWW Newsletter May 2022
Message from President
I am very pleased with the good turn outs we are having for the play days, Interclub and our monthly Bash’s. I hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather and I expect conditions will continue to improve through the spring growing season. Please remember to fix divots on the course and ball marks on the greens.
Edwin Goldman.
OFWW Interclub
It is not too late to sign up if you want to join one of our interclub teams.
The Kingwood OFWW has two teams that participate in the "North Houston Retired Senior Men's Golf Association". Each team plays home and away matches at other participating clubs, usually on Thursdays. It is a great way to meet people, participate in exciting competitions and play different clubs for just a cart fee. You do not have to play every week.
Joe Blankenship - Captain Marsh Team (joeblankenship54@gmail.com)
or
David Bradley - Captain Lake Team (dandbbradley@outlook.com)
Or reply to OFWWkingwood2022@Gmail.com and one of the captains will contact you.
The season is off to a great start with lots of good competition. As of April 21st the Marsh team was in 6th place and the Lake team was in 7th place. Both teams have 4/4/0 records.
Divot Day
Our remaining divot day is currently scheduled for the following Wednesday:
May 11 – FOREST
Reminder e mails with sign up procedures will go out before each of the divot days. Sign up is through Golf Genius.
Volunteering for a divot day is a great way to help maintain and improve the good course conditions and earns you one point towards the three points needed to qualify for the end of year volunteers tournament sponsored by the club pros.
Play Days
The play days are a great way to have a tournament type competition and win some money. Stroke play in one of 3 flighted fields for a very small entry fee. You sign up for any available tee time and you can meet other golfers by signing up to play with different golfers each time.
You can also find the results for each play day under the results tab on the OFWW website.
Couple of things to note:
You do not need to check in at the pro shop before the play day. The starter notes the information for billing.
You must enter your score in the Golf Genius app. You do not need to turn in a paper scorecard.
You do not need to enter your score into the GHIN system. The pro shop transfers it over.
Payouts for winning are now credited to your golf shop credit book account once a month. Players should check the amounts to verify they are correct. Questions about the amounts should go to Tim.
