Charbonneau Men ’ s Club regular play info
The Men ’ s Club regular play is on Wednesday and Saturday mornings . Wednesday play is generally an individual game , with both gross and net winners . Saturday play is a team game with both gross and net winners . Both games are a $ 5 buy-in and winnings are paid out in pro shop credit . We ask that you please RSVP to the email invitations that are sent to you each week . There will be new closing dates for signups as follows : Wednesday at 10 a . m . for Saturday play , and Sunday at 10 a . m . for Wednesday play will be in effect this year . Take note of this change .
All Men ’ s Club games are handicapped ! Every CMC member has an opportunity to win these games . For team games players are picked by Golf Genius to ensure that the teams are as even as possible . The games are then an equal opportunity for all . Money collected for individual our games is split 30 % gross and 70 % net , and you can only win in one category . Team games are primarily net winners only ,
but can vary with the game being played . The number of winners is determined by the number of golfers participating that day . The better you play that day , the more likely you and your team are to win . We encourage everyone to give it a try ; it ’ s fun and everyone is welcoming and encouraging .
Men ’ s 9-hole play is scheduled on Wednesday and Friday mornings . Signups are also done through Golf Genius . Please RSVP to the email invitations , and take note of the closing changes for sign up mentioned above .
The course is in great shape right now and tee times are available . It ’ s the perfect time to put into practice what you ’ ve learned from your lessons with Kaitlyn , and you don ’ t have to report your scores through GHIN ( you folks down South still must report though ). Get out , experiment , and enjoy the crisp weather with a buddy or your spousal unit .
Winter golf and prepping for 2025 season
If you ’ re like me , you are checking out golf tips online and on YouTube . We ’ ll use anything to help improve or get ahead . While viewing a few
tutorials , I noticed that many of the instructors tell us to “ complete ” the swing , while many others ask us to “ finish ” our swing . So , I thought , what ’ s the difference and will it make a difference ? Looking up definitions for both , you ’ ll see that they are much the same , but yet different when used as a verb . To complete something ( like that ugly swing ) is to finish making or doing , or to make it whole or perfect . To finish something is to end or finalize part or a stage of something , or its the manner in which you complete something . Sheesh ! What ’ s a golfer to do ?
To further clarify
As I started looking for more definitions to further clarify my dilemma , I ran across a beautiful answer from Mr . Sun Sherman . He said , “ When you marry the right woman , you are complete .” “ If you marry the wrong woman , you are finished .” “ When the right woman catches you with the wrong woman , you are completely finished .” It ’ ll be hard for me to completely finish a golf swing now without smiling . Enjoy your winter golf my friends .
