MARCH MADNESS
Nope, not the Basketball March Madness — the weather version. Fresh snow visible out my windows and a forecast for nearly 20° by next weekend seem like madness to me.
ONLINE REGISTRATIONS PAGE NOW LIVE
I have been busy updating the website over the last couple of days. The major improvement is the addition of an Online Registrations Page where you can sign up for ALL of our events as well as most out of town events.
We don't have any prices for entry fees, BUT you can get your name on the entry list now and pay the entry fee closer the deadline for each event.
Look for Online Registrations next to the Event Schedule near the top of the page.
SEASON PLANNING UNDERWAY
(1) eTransfers are still the preferred method for payments, but you will be able to pay in the ProShop with a cheque. So no more having to track down John or Norm — pay online or pay in the ProShop with a cheque.
(2) The important work of getting the monthly meals organized has started. We all know food prices have jumped, so we are in contact with the Bistro to get meals that we can keep within our budget.
We use the Retirees Club fee and 50/50 money to subsidize the cost of the all the prizes and meals in order to help reduce the entry fee for each event.
We spend all the money raised during the year running the weekly events, monthly events, and the year end Championship (any left overs are used to reduce the meal cost and improve the quality of prizes).
(3) Watch for some changes to end of round scorekeeping for our weekly events which I hope will make it easier for updating the results. More on that soon.
(4) In general, all of the Scramble & Brunch events are on the 4th Thursday of each month with the exception of the Championship that has moved to the 3rd Thursday of September.
(5) Reminder to everyone that your handicap must be kept up to date using either Chronogolf or Golf Canada and that all rounds should be entered.
