Riverside Play Brings Adjustments to the Course

     Those ASGA members playing in this coming week's tournament at the Riverside Golf Course will be seeing some adjustments made to the course that may be to their liking. First, while most members will be playing from the middle tees (black), the 100+ group will be playing from the forward tees(green). Additionally, the yardage for the middle tees will be reduced somewhat as holes #8, #15, and #16 will have their tees moved up so that no one will be trying to reach a 400+ yard par 4 hole in two. All three of the these holes fit that description at present but Riverside pro Michael Travis has agreed to change this part of his layout to fit the ASGA.
    Travis clarified the play for the #1 hole and some adjustments on tee times. "All members will be playing the number one hole as a par three rather than a par four as is common during weekend action at the course. As of now (Thursday) we have 92 players entered but we still have some early tee times available. If these times are not used we will move up the tee times to close the gap." said Travis.
     Members should check the website prior to Tuesday's play to ensure themselves that they have the correct starting time. Members will have to pay their entry fee ($5) in cash when paying their course fees.
    The format for this tournament is 2-man select shot (9 holes)/ 2-man Best Ball (9 holes).
