NINE HOLE CHAIR REPORT. Cheree Alexander
Reminder that once a 9-Hole player has reached 12 strokes, she must pick up her ball and mark her score as 12, taking 4 putts for that hole.
Cheree acknowledged new 9-Hole members:
Cathy Barrett , Barbara Heller, Jen Pisani and Patricia Roberts transfer from 18.
Joan acknowledged new 18-Hole members:
Jane Story and Betty Conklin.
Current KWGA membership is 169. 59 9-Hole and 110 18-Hole members.
TSWGA REPORT:
Texas Senior Women’s Golf Association annual Match Play Tournament was held April 30 – May 5 at Walden on Lake Conroe.
Nicole Goldman won the consolation match in 2nd Flight. Brenda Candelet won in 6th flight. She described to the group how she was down four with four holes to play, but kept calm, focusing on each shot and never gave up!
Ginger Dieter, Patti Kramer, Sarah Bob Taylor and Anne Viault also participated.
Next year Ginger Dieter will be president of TSWGA. Requirements are age 50 and handicap of 30.4 by tournament date and resident of TX for at least 6 months.
Note: Nine-hole members left the room.
PLAYDAY CHAIR REPORT. Bette McDermott
We are doing a good job rectifying the cards to Golf Genius at the end of our round. Just a reminder if you make a correction in Golf genius, be sure to select “Save” before moving on.
Paper scorecards are a bit messy. Mistakes I am still seeing include no signature (this is a big No No!), putts are not totaled, and no net score indicated. There is no need to circle birdies, but please circle chip ins.
July 4th falls on a Tuesday and it will not be a Playday. So July 5 will be a 9- Hole Fun Playday for the 9-Hole and 18-Hole Leagues combined. More info will be forthcoming.
PAIRINGS CHAIR REPORT. Bev Henderson
When signing up for Pots, make sure to put in 50 cents each. Watch Quarters vs Nickels.
It has helped adding an extra table at the Check-In tent.
If you must cancel after the noon Sunday deadline, cancelling earlier the better helps. Last minute cancellations may cause flights to not go well.
Regarding pace of play, people need to be patient and encourage each other.
On other than Playdays, players should be entering their scores in GHIN every time they play. If you make a mistake, contact Tim to correct a score in GHIN.
Bev will check into having another Rules clinic this year.
TOURNAMENT CHAIR REPORT. Carrie Faulkner. Joan Rendl gave the report in her absence.
February 14 was the President’s Cup, March 21 was Member Member match play and April 11-12 was Eclectic tournament.
June 20 will be the Member Member 6/6/6 (No FTF). Choose your partner and sign up as a team. This will be six holes of Best Ball Net, six holes of Alternate Shot and six holes of Scramble. You must sign up with a partner for this tournament.
Reminder that there is no root rule in effect when we play in a paid tournament, you get free relief only on Playdays. (Though the Member Guest tournament on May 23-24 TBD)
SOCIAL CHAIR REPORT. Maryrose LeBus (and Kristin Shelton)
We are currently planning the Spring Fling. The menu is awesome this year and we have managed to secure special drink prices for the 2-day tournament.
Volunteer positions are open, and we have streamlined each position so it’s pretty easy and fun!
MEMBER GUEST SPRING FLING REPORT. Patti Kramer
There is a full field of 96 players signed up. We are asking members for donations for the raffle basket. And we are passing around signup for Volunteers to help.
OTHER
CLINIC REMINDER. Golf Lesson Clinic on Monday May 15. Session 1: 11am-12pm and Session 2: 12pm-1pm. $25 Lisa.Vaught@invitedclubs.com to register.
Patti Kramer made a suggestion to help pace of play. Every member should be mindful to be efficient when choosing your next club. After you hit, get in the cart. When you get to your next shot, then put your club away and exchange for the next club at the same time.
Meeting Adjourned at 8:53 by President, Joan Rendl.
