From 12:01am on January 1, 2020 until that time the GHIN system will be shutdown to make the necessary changes for the new system. There will be changes, and an adjustment period we will all undergo. I have attached a small segment of how your handicap is going to be effected when the system starts back up on January 6th. SUPER BOWL SCRAMBLE Our biggest event of the season will be held on Sunday February 2, 2020. This is a two person scramble and you pick your partner. The entry fee is $20 per player plus applicable course fees. We will also have a $10 per team optional skins game. We will flight teams by total team handicap by all Men’s teams, as well as Couples teams. The sign up sheet will be put up on the Men’s bulletin board a few weeks prior to the tournament. WALKING AND PULL CART INSTRUCTIONS Walking or use of a Pull Cart can be done anytime Monday thru Friday and after 1pm on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays. Walking or use of a Pull Cart is NOT ALLOWED in club tournaments at any day or time. Pull Carts are not allowed to be pulled or pushed across the putting greens, tee boxes or through the bunkers. Around the tees and greens, they must be kept in the higher grass of the collars of the tees and greens. 2020 MEN’S EVENT CALENDAR January 18, 2020 MGA - “Memorial” - The format will be a 4-man scramble (assigned by the club to evenly divide the field), during which each player’s tee shot must be used on 1 par 5, 2 par 4’s and 1 par 3. PRO SHOP AND DRIVING RANGE HOURS The pro shop will open at 6:30am Monday thru Sunday and remain open until 6pm. The driving range is open on the days that the golf course is open starting at 6:30am, and remain open weather permitting, until ½ hour before dark, except for Sundays when the range will close 1 hour before dark to pick all the balls up so the driving range grass can be cut early the next morning. The pro shop, per the time of the year will determine these hours of closing. Sincerely, John Greiner JANUARY eaglebrooke newsletter 5
