Thursday's Shotgun Event / Notes and Tips

Eighty Eight members teeing off at 7:15AM

With everyone's help we have a good chance of pulling this off smoothly.

Some general notes and tips for this event:

  • Weather forecast is approx. 72 degrees, 88% humidity.

  • Sunrise is 6:34AM. The moon phase will be 'waning gibbous', which some say can exacerbate a slice, but I don't know how true this is.

  • It could be very crowded at the driving range, practice putting greens, and the chipping green.  
  • More on the driving range:  If, say, half our members want to hit warm-ups on range, I am not sure logistically how this will happen, both in purchasing balls, finding a station, and all in less than 30 minutes from sunrise to cart departure.    

  • Everyone should be at their assigned carts before 7AM, as the players heading out to the far end of the course may have to depart the clubhouse at that time (and walkers even earlier).
  • There are going to be non-club golfers on the course while we play - ahead of us and also behind us. These early bird golfers tend to play very fast, so be mindful of your Pace of Play.  If you are out of position with a group on your tail, consider letting them play through.

  • As you head out to your starting hole, be aware there are going to be players on the course on the single digit holes. Take 18 fairway, and backtrack the holes (17, 16, 15, etc). 

  • If you are in a "B" cart for a hole, remember to let the "A" carts take position closest to tee, before you park in the prime forward position.

  • I predict in advance there will be a traffic jam at hole #16 tee area. 

  • Again, Pace of Play

  • Scorecards should be turned in to our Tournament Director Ron Plummer. If you don't see Ron, you can give to any board member, or drop in the normal box in the men's locker room.
