A message from the Play Day Chairperson

You have to be a member of RLGA to play on play days, BUT you do NOT have to be a Rawls Course Member to  be a RLGA Member.

TEE TIMES ARE 9:30 & 9:40 a.m. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.  PLEASE... BE ON TIME!

Please call the pro shop to sign up and try to arrive a few minutes early so we can draw for groups.  You are to continue the regular procedure for play day of calling the pro shop to put your name in for play day with the RLGA.  If you want to play earlier or later on the designated or regular play day, you will need to call the pro shop and get your own time to play.  JUST STATE IT IS FOR THE RLGA PLAY DAY. 

In talking to several of you this week, I have discovered there is some confusion about what number to use for taking your half (or whole) handicap for our play day games.  So to keep it as simple as possible, we have decided to just use your GHIN index as your "handicap".  Hopefully all of you have a GHIN account that gives you an updated index every two weeks.  The index often is a decimal number.  Just take half of that number to use as your handicap (or if we ever have a game using all 18 holes then use the whole number).  For example my GHIN index is a 16.1, so I would subtract 8.05 from my score for nine holes or 16.1 for eighteen holes.  Please help me with checking the scores by writing your index on your card.  The decimals will probably eliminate a lot of ties!  That's a good thing!

Please continue to put your GHIN index on the card near your name.  It helps me in checking the cards!

Scorecards must be signed and dated and left in the Restroom in RLGA Box.  A copy of the Play Day Schedule and RLGA Box will be placed in the cabinet next to sink in Restroom.  Birdie Board will be sitting on cabinet (please sign and date by hole birdied).

LET’S HAVE A GREAT GOLFING SEASON!  SEE YOU ON THE COURSE!
