20 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER June 2019 Charbonneau Women’s Golf Association Play results By LAURA CURRAN Committee develops time sheet for pace of play In honor of Father’s Day and my own dad’s notoriety for corny jokes, I have chosen to share a favorite of his. Cheers to all on Father’s Day! After a particularly bad round of golf, dad decided not to go to the Nineteenth Hole (the clubhouse bar) and started to go straight home. As he was walking to the golf course parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped and asked, “Did you tee off on the 17th hole about 20 minutes ago?” “Yes,” dad answered. “Did you happen to slice your ball so that it went over the trees and out of bounds and completely off the course?” “Yes, I did. How did you know?” dad questioned. “Well,” said the policeman gravely, “your golf ball flew out onto the main road and crashed through the windshield of a BMW. The driver lost control and crashed into six other cars and a fire engine. The fire engine was unable to reach the fire in time and the building burned down. Now, what do you intend to do about it?” Dad thought it over carefully and responded, “I think I’ll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb.” Membership Our CWGA membership is currently at 95 members. Women can continue to join CWGA throughout the season. COURTESY PHOTOS Social Committee Co-Chairs Carole Sletta and Liza Henry. CWGA members enjoy the May 2 Sinko de Putt buffet luncheon. Scrambles timekeeper, noting the time at which they finish selected holes and end their rounds. Over the course of May, we will have a snapshot of the time it takes for each group to finish, and identify the bottlenecks. As we go to press, the procedure is underway and we expect to have a report for a future Villager article. A reminder that one of the new rules limits players to only three minutes to search for a lost ball, down from five, and suggests that we check our watches when the search begins. Once the three minutes are up, drop a new ball and take your penalty stroke(s). Also, as I and my playing partners added several strokes to our scores trying to get out of deep bunkers (green two and four, especially) I suggest everyone review the options for unplayable lies within a bunker and opportunities to get relief outside. Sometimes a one or two-stroke penalty beats three and four shots to get out and is much less frustrating. Our rules chair also reminds us to “help each other” with the new rules. For example, I observed a player grounding her club behind the ball in a bunker, having misinterpreted the new rule allowing grounding under certain circumstances (like leaning on the club to provide support climbing in or out) to mean she could do so when addressing the ball. She was grateful for the clarification and I was grateful for having just attended a bunker clinic where the rule was explained. ■ The popular Sinko de Putt Scramble and luncheon was held May 2. The event was a hit! Wilsonville Catering catered the delicious and hearty Mexican- themed taco bar with tea and lemonade. A huge thanks to our Social Committee Co-Chairs Liz Henry and Carole Sletta for planning these events! The next scramble and luncheon is Swing Into Spring and will be held June 6. This event will have the option for partner play. The meal will be catered by Cutsforth Market and will include their delicious chicken salad. Red Shirts Members, please watch for an email alerting you to wear your red shirts to our first-of-the-month scramble so that a group photo can be taken. Shirts for new members have been ordered and we hope to have them in time for the June 6 event. If the shirts are not here in time for June, we plan to do a group photo in July. If you haven’t ordered your red shirt, we have added a few extras to our order. Let Cathi McLain know if you need one at $20 each. Notes From CWGA President Cathi McLain Pace of play is an issue on every golf course and had a big influence on most of the new Rules of Golf.
