It’s almost time for FUN DAY Wednesday Feb 22
This will be our first FUN DAY (10:00-4:00) with the 18 & 9 Hole Leagues. A 9-hole Golf event, followed by Lunch, and then the Rules clinic.
First 9 holes of golf using a Dropout Scramble format. 10:00 Start time.
Second there will be a lunch in the Cypress room for $16 all inclusive that will be billed to your COK account if you attend. No ordering off the regular menu. The menu will be:
Salad: Romaine Hearts and Mixed Greens with choice of toppings and dressings.
Soup: Tomato basil bisque and Chicken noodle.
Third there will be a Rules Clinic covering various important topics led by Dick Smith. We urge all to join in the fun of playing golf together with members you may not normally play with, socializing at lunch with good food and camaraderie, and then the opportunity to learn or review some USGA rules that we all need to be familiar with.
Next Interclub is Thursday February 23 at Woodlands
The February event of the 2023 Northwoods Interclub will be held at The Woodlands Country Club on Thursday, February 23, 2023 with a 9 AM Shotgun Start.

Calendar Look-Ahead for the 18 League
February 28, 2023: Playday game “S’s & T’s”. Note: It’s Guest Day, it’s on the Island and we are sharing the course with KWGA9.
March 7, 2023: Playday game “Ace of Aces” on the Forest.
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.
In order to play "legal" so that your score counts towards Year End awards and to receive course credit, you did not participate in the previous Tuesday playday (which includes starting but then withdrawing). There will need to be two "legal" players in a division (18 or 9) to count as a KWGA official Saturday Playday. Otherwise, you can play just for fun.
Divot Days
8 KWGA ladies participated in February 15 Divot Day on the Lake and each earned a Volunteer point and a breakfast taco.
There are 3 more Divot Days planned for this spring. Sign-ups will be through Golf Genius. They are held on Wednesday mornings, starting with breakfast at 7:00 and heading to course at 7:30 and ending by 9:30. You will earn a Volunteer point for each Divot Day you participate in. Save these dates:
March 8 – Forest
April 5 – Marsh
May 3 – Island
