Updates to Division Schedules

by

A minor update to the Division 1-5 schedule data. Tamarack price was adjusted to $31 from $30 and new revision date.

Plus the Events Calendar was adjusted to include the last half of Div 5 season. It was not completely imported to the calendar.

We sometimes have to make adjustments to the schedules during the year. Usually the schedules and the events calendar will be updated unless the change is really minor. The 1 page schedules will include a revision date (upper right hand corner).

For major changes (changed day or a rescheduled event), we will post the information on the website. If you are “SUBSCRIBED” you will receive an email notice from the website. In addition, your Division VP may also send a separate email.

The best way to stay up on everything is to be subscribed to the website. If you change email addresses during the year, you will need to “re-SUBSCRIBE” with the new email address.

Checking the website every once in a while for the schedules and events calendar is good to make sure you are up to date. Check the recent posts for news and changes.

Starter/Scorer Schedule for Division 4

by

Division 4 has published the Starter Scorer Schedule for 2021 season. You can view the schedule at the bottom of this page.

As an all volunteer organization, we need all members to do their duty and help out with the Starter/Scorer duties for about once per year. It takes about 2 hours at the course. In addition a little extra time for preparation a few days before.

It is not hard. We are working to make it as easy as possible. Your Division VP will usually check with you and help as needed.

IT IS IMPORTANT! If a Starter fails to show up or is poorly prepared, everybody on the event suffers.

Changes in Metro Seniors!

by

Starting this year a 3rd tee box (Forward) has been added for C and D flight players only. If your handicap, in your division, in the week you are playing makes you a “C” or a “D” flight player, at your option you may play from the “Most Forward” third tee box. Again this is only for “C” or “D” flight players. The additional tee box will only be available for some courses. Check with your VP for the list of courses where this option applies. Additional information on this change will be sent out from the VP’s of each Division before the start of the season.

Effective immediately, Dennis Black is now the Metro Seniors First Vice President. Dennis replaces Tony Ellebracht who resigned due to medial issues. We will miss Tony’s leadership and hope he recovers. I’m sure if he does, you will see him in another role in Metro Seniors soon. You won’t meet a nicer person than Tony.

Replacing Dennis Black in Division 5 as the Division VP is Bill Molz. Bill is everywhere, Special Events, Metro Plus and has been the Nominating Chair for past 10 years. Roy Migneco has agree to stay on as his Deputy VP.

Craig Carothers from Division 3 and OGS, has stepped up again and now will serve as the Handicap Chairman. Steven Goldstein from Division 4 is now the Rules Chairman.

Last Chance (Pevely Farms) Sign Up Issue

by

There was an issue with the Special Events Sign Up Form for the Last Chance event. The most you could sign up was 2 players. This is a 4-person event. The issue has been corrected.

If you had to sign up as a 2-person team (or other combination) but have a 4-person team, send an email to me (Joe Lerch), Frank McLaughlin, or Bob Roussin with the names of your 4-person team and I will get you paired when I start loading the rosters.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
