Our courses have been re rated and the changes have been put into the Genius system. This is a good thing! except for the remaining matches as it changes our handicaps. As you know I pull the handicaps from the first of the month. To be fair and consistent I will hand make the remaining official scorecards using the old ratings.
Please review the pairings! I have the Championship scheduled for October 1 and 2. There are four matches to be played before we can get there. As I have said previously I am aware the Village Cup is the last week In September. . I would like to communicate with the remaining teams to try for tee times that would work to get the matches played.
Lastly
Congratulations to the team of Adams / Merritt for making it to the Championship Match!!

What a fun week of matches!! Most went down to the wire! 21 Holes! 20 Holes!
When you see all the matches going down to the last few holes or needing to play more holes it tells us the handicap system is working.

We have two matches left to be played in Round 3 scheduled July 28. I seem to be a few tee times short for August . I am contacting Golf Ops on Monday to try to get tee times on Aug 5 and 12th. Some of you will play two matches in August. 🤔 I have heard from a few of you on dates you are not available. It is much easier to know ahead of time. Thank you! We are getting down to the nitty gritty! Time to bring home the wins!!

The May Tee Sheet has been updated with cancelled matches rescheduled. Click here for the updated May Tee Sheet.
Ellen suggests that in case of rain...
"If you find yourselves rained out....the four of you go into the clubhouse and agree on a tee time.
Have the guys put you on the books! If we have to go into June for Round One, that's what we will do!
Then let me know so I can record your tee time and make sure you have your scorecards correct and ready."

The MPM team of Peggy Crabtree / Marilyn Garris has dropped out due to illness. Marilyn Garris called this morning and said she needed a head transplant!
I told her we all knew that.....😀😍 (She thinks it's allergies affecting her balance)
First and foremost! Peggy and Marilyn, love you both and feel better soon!
Our first play day is this Friday, It's not too late to add a team. Hello! Is anyone interested??
Please think about and consider grabbing a partner and playing in MPM.
It's a once a month commitment. Your first play day would be this Friday May 20, Kingswood ,10:12 AM tee time.
Call or email me and I will give you the details.
Cheers!

The matches scheduled on May 11 and May 13 have been cancelled due to the flooding on the course. It is my understanding the plan is to reopen on May 20th. And that depends on not finding any more damage and not getting any more weather
My plan is to extend our Round One into June if necessary. Kelli and I will be in Florida next week for her daughter, my granddaughter!, graduation. We will sit down and figure out what the tee time options are for everyone when we get back.
Barton / Roberts v Vines / Shy cx
Butz / Poplin v Doverspike / Mosley cx
Martineck / Placial v Tipton / Aubele cx
Please talk to your partner and opponents. Would any of you be available to play the last week in May? Send me a few dates that would work for you. As I said, we will go into June if necessary.
