Div 3 VP Changes – Craig Carothers Retiring – Gary Maule Replacing

by

Craig Carothers Retires as Division 3 VP

After many years of service to the Board of Governors and as VP of Division 3, Craig Carothers has decided to retire to spend more time “improving” his golf game.

Craig has been a very important contributor to the league and active in many roles over the years.  In past years he chaired the Handicap Committee and helped establish much of the system we have now.  Recently he has served as Division 3 VP to keep it running smoothly.  His Division 3 Mentoring is a model for helping get new members engaged.  He suggested and implemented many of the operational changes that make things better.

Craig has also been a key contributor in developing our website communications, especially in the last year.  He will be continuing to help with the website as one of our administrators.  For the present, Craig will also continue to support Metro St. Louis Seniors golf thought the OurGolfStats.com website where all of our statistical and handicap information is stored.

So – now that Criag as some “free time”, play with him and see if he really is improving.

=======================

Gary Maule – New Division 3 VP

Gary Maule, effective immediately, is the new Division 3 VP and member of the Board of Governors as approved at the Board meeting of June 14, 2016.

Gary is a quick study and with support from Craig and the Board will hit the ground running.

Be sure to meet and wish Gary well at the coming Weekly and Special Event Tournaments.

 

We do have openings on committees and will need board member replacements for each upcoming year.  Please volunteer to help.

There are 10 courses listed but we will only take your score for your best 5 par 3’s, 5 par 4’s and 5 par 5’s.

New Discount Card – Get Yours at Meeting – March 22

by

Membership Discount Card

 

Starting this year, Metro Seniors will issue a Membership Discount Card instead of the Super Saver Coupon Book. This will be a numbered (the number will NOT be your ID#) plastic card the same size as a credit card that you can easily carry in your wallet.  The card will be good for the current year from a period of April 1st to March 31st of the following year.  If everything goes as expected, the card will be offered in succeeding years.  Of course, there will be a different color scheme on the card each year.  The card will have to be signed on the back in order to be valid.

The cards will be handed out at the March Meeting at your Division tables.  If you cannot attend the meeting, then see your  Division VP for your card at one of your normal weekly Division tournaments.

We have contracted with over 30 courses and golf stores to give you discounts equivalent to or better than the Super Saver Coupon Book.

You will only get one card, so don’t lose it!  Use the cards as much as you can (they are not valid for the weekly tournaments),  The more the cards are used, the more likely the courses and stores will be to want to participate in the future.
