It is Time to Register a Real Team at Riverside!
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 - The ASGA played last on March 10 at Lions, in a 2 person event. You are likely reading this update on June 10 a full 90 days later and we have talked about this day coming for a while. At our last event 98 members participated. We know some of you have not played since out of the utmost desire to remain safe. Some have played walking and practicing safe distancing. No one can be sure about safety but Riverside has offered us a way to play in what seems like a very well thought out way to have healthy fun and enjoy one of our loves, playing golf. Let's fill up the tee times using our new system for the first time with an actual tournament. Come play with us!
The tournament is at Riverside and the format is Best Ball Net: 2-person, pick partner. Each player will have their own sanitized cart. Tee times are spaced 10 minutes apart rather than 8. No player should show up more than 30 minutes before their groups tee time to limit those around the putting green. Check-ins are outside the shop and all players are required to wear a face mask at check-in. The inside restroom is available, one person at a time and with a face mask on all the time inside.
The fee is $31 plus tax for riders and this must be paid with credit card. The only cash accepted will be the $5 entry fee that must be cash and deposited in a container close to the person taking your credit card at the time you pay. We are limited to 70 carts since we are not sharing. Some of you like to walk and certainly may do so. The price for walkers is $21 plus tax to credit card and the same $5 entry fee in cash. When Saturday comes we will review the numbers and see where we stand. We are not anticipating any problem, so sign up to play.

Now it is time to register your team(s). Starting Wednesday through Friday anytime on the home page of ASGA click on Member Programs. You will then be looking at Tee Time Registration. "Read Registration Help" all the way through. Then do what is says. This time it is real.Many of you have practiced signing up and some did not. Feel free to call me if you need help before doing it for real and I will walk you through the process. See you Tuesday. It will be fun to be back.
