Spring is Here!
Redbud tree in bloom
Spring is in the air, tee times are starting earlier, we
may actually get some grass on the fairways and hopefully good greens. Our ASGA
Spring golf event is coming soon. This year it is being played at Morris
Williams April 26 and 28.
This is a two-person event where we play Best Ball Low Net on day 1 and
Scramble on day 2. Mark your calendars
and reserve those dates. The Spring golf event is one of, if not the most,
enjoyable events we play during the year. More information to follow.
Fall Annual ASGA Championship
At the last board meeting, the annual ASGA championship was discussed. This year it’s being held on September 6 and September 13. Over the past several years, we have struggled to get seventy members to participate. In order to get more members participating the Board agreed to make a few changes with more to come. First, it was agreed instead of playing the tournament on Tuesday and Thursday of the same week, this year we’ll play on Tuesday of two consecutive weeks. Playing two rounds in the September heat of the same week can be difficult; we understand some members would only like to play one ASGA round a week.
The first round of play will be at Morris Williams. The second and championship round will be held at Jimmy Clay the following Tuesday. Members will sign up for tee times in your normal groups for the first round. Hopefully playing with your regular foursome will be better and more enjoyable for members. Afterwards members will be placed into flights based on handicap, and tee times will be assigned based on your first-round scoring within your flight for the second round championship play, lower handicaps starting first. Several other possibilities to make the event more enjoyable for you are under discussion, so I’m told. If you have any suggestions, please pass them on to a Board member. More information to come as we get closer.
Slow Play
Last week at Lions our slowest round was 4 hours, 30 minutes. Thanks. We're improving.
Golf Humor
Gimme gimmie…?
A “gimmie” can best be described as an agreement between
two golfers…..neither of whom can putt very well.
Why do golfers always carry a spare pair of trousers with them?
In case they get a hole in one.
I hope all your drives are in the direction you want them to be and all your putts find the bottom of the cup.
At your service,
Sand Trap
