GOLF announcement For information, or to sign up for golf events: GOLF PRO SHOP: 425-743-5664 Keep Up with the Group Ahead! On occasion, speed of play is a problem, and it starts with members being late for their tee time. Slow play takes some of the fun out of playing golf. Be considerate of others. Play “ready” golf if needed to keep up with the group ahead of you. If your group is holding up the group behind you, allow them play through whether it’s a twosome, threesome, foursome or five some. When you play five, recognize that you’ll probably have to play faster than normal to keep up with the group ahead. WOMEN’S GOLF news Tournament Results “EZ Peasey” Spring Field Day!
