--- News for the 18 Hole League ---
First KWGA Ace of Aces Playday was Tuesday January 17
We played the Marsh course with 38 players. It was a beautiful warm day, amazing for any day, but especially for January. For some of us, the Marsh course presented the challenge that only the Marsh can, while others excelled and so congratulations are due to all of you. AND the winners are!

Another reminder of important information
SIGNING UP TO PLAY ON TUESDAY
When Sign Ups are closed at Sunday Noon, you will not be able to sign up or cancel using your confirmation email or Golf Genius. Instead you MUST TEXT BOTH Bev Henderson 217-520-8599 & Tim Lovell 210-219-8004…OR EMAIL BOTH Bev Henderson bjhendi@hotmail.com & Tim Lovell at either Timothy.Lovell@invitedclubs.com or KWGA18@gmail.com.
Weather: Assume we will be playing unless the course is closed. If you do not want to play given the perceived conditions, be sure to follow the cancellation procedure.
IF YOU ARE LATE CHECKING IN
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.
DAY OF PLAY
Please be at your starting hole on time. Do not start early. Play at a good Pace of Play.
SCORECARDS
Record Gross score and record Putts. At the end of the round, subtract your handicap listed on the card from your gross score to record your net score for the day. Total your putts. Competitor and Marker must both sign the scorecard.
Please circle Chip-ins if you signed up to participate in the pots.
ALL scorecards must be turned in, including for those Withdrawing from the round.
RECONCILING GOLF GENIUS
Once you have agreed that your printed scorecard is correct, the person keeping scores in Golf Genius for the group should read each score out loud, hole by hole (not just totals) as players check their score on the scorecard to ensure accuracy. Make sure these both agree.
If there is a discrepancy between Golf Genius and the scorecard, playday scorecards remain the official record of scores.
Immediately after play, return your signed scorecard to the Ladies Locker Room. For 18 Hole League there will be a box on one of the tables to place your card (Marked 18 Hole Scorecards).
WITHDRAWING
When a player withdraws, scoring should STOP on both the paper scorecard and in Golf Genius. LEAVE BOTH BLANK! Golf Genius scorers should immediately stop entering scores for a W/D player. Do not enter “X” in Golf Genius, EVER. Leave it blank (this is new in 2023). Golf Genius will provide a pop-up message that notifies the scorer that not all scores have been entered. Select “Next Hole” or “Continue” for each hole thereafter. If a player withdraws but chooses to stay out on the course and play, no scores are recorded and player should pick up at their max. Scorecards for Withdrawn players must still be turned in and marked W/D. If the player wants to record the round in GHIN, they must do so on their own as KWGA will not upload W/D scores to GHIN.
For 18 Hole League, if a player picks up at any time during the round (except Special Rule on Island #18), they are considered W/D and must follow the Withdrawal procedure.

Saturday Play
If you are interested in being on (or off) the distribution list for playing on Saturday, email Kakie Palmer at kakiepalmer@gmail.com.
You can play just for fun or if you did not play or withdraw on the previous Tuesday you can play "legal" for your score to count towards Year End awards and receive course credit. There will need to be two "legal" players in a division (18 or 9) to count as a KWGA official Saturday Playday.
