Next Wednesday, May 28th, we will start our signups for our two-course events.
Beginning the 3rd of June and lasting through
August we will hold almost all our events simultaneously on TWO courses, thanks
to GolfATX. It will be a positive impact for most players (last tee time will
fall around 10:00 a.m. instead of noon or later), but we will need to be
attentive to signups and schedules as we get used to this new setup..
For those of you who do signups, you will find along with the usual entry fields, a choice of courses for selection. It will look similar to this:
We need to balance our use of courses (equal number of foursomes for each). The initial balance mechanism decider will be signup order, i.e. the later you sign up the more likely you may not get your choice of course. If you are not a full foursome at signup, you also may not get your choice of course. The schedule will be posted in the same manner as today.
Results will show up as today, by course. Event types (e.g. Scramble) will always be the same for each course. An example:
Regarding slow play, while currently slow-play groups are
moved to 10:30 or later, for two-course events these groups will be assigned to
the latest tee times scheduled.
One new item that we will be trying: ONLY SELECT PERIOD ONE IF
YOU WISH TO TEE OFF IN THE FIRST HOUR. Remember first-hour foursomes are
expected to finish in under four hours.
And I would be remiss if I failed to mention Paul Redden's contribution to our website modifications to accommodate the new scheduling/reporting requirements. Paul, a twice President of ASGA, prior Board member for 11 years, and still active member, was instrumental in this process. Thanks, Paul!
For questions, just send me an email. See you on the course(s)!
