Tuesday, February 18th will be a special day for the Pinseekers!
1). We have invited the Ironmen (Short 9 Men’s Club) to join us and get a taste of the long course. We have several Pinseekers who started golf on the short course before moving up to the long course (your President included).
We can show them a good time and perhaps get some new members and friends! We’ll be trying to put an Ironman into each foursome, so we Pinseekers can play host and give course knowledge pointers to the newcomers.
2). We are going to try a new format that day – The Combo 3/2 tees! With the combo tees we will play some holes from the 3 Tees, and some from the 2 Tees. The Pro Shop already has score cards and NCGA approved handicaps, so we can regular sweeps and earn sweeps awards as usual (must have at least Pinseekers playing for sweeps to be in effect).
Playing the combo tees will give everyone more chances to get on greens in regulation and speed the game up a bit. The Ladies are already using this format and enjoying it.
3). Bring you own lunch (BYOL) / Brown Bag Seminar – Rules and New Handicap System briefing by Scott Steele, Villages Golf Pro. The Pinseekers will provide beverages, you bring your own lunch or snack.
Time 12:30pm, right after golf. Location = Cribari Conference Room.
There have been a number of new rules changes this year that make golf simpler and more fun, so come and learn. You many have already noticed some unexpected changes to your handicap and Scott will give you insight into why.
The weather has been great lately, and hopefully will continue on the 18th.
Looking forward to seeing you all out there.
Best Regards,
David Cook
President, Pinseekers
