Schedule for Division 2 has a date adjustment. With agreement between Metro Seniors, Far Oaks and Florissant, we swapped dates.

The revisions for the schedule are now posted on the Metro Seniors website. This includes changes to the All Division Schedule, The Div 2 Schedule, our Wallet Schedule, and our Events Calendar. The revisions are dated today 1-22-21.

Division 2 members, please adjust your calendars as needed.

We are willing to work with our partner courses for the benefit of all. Even a “simple” change like swapping 2 dates requires cooperation between Metro Seniors and at least 2 courses, sometimes several more.

Our close working relationships are critical in our ability to give all our members a full and fun schedule during the year.

You as members are important to maintaining these relationships. Please respect the courses’ rules, their personnel and their property. The continuing pandemic simply makes this even more important.

The State of Missouri has announced beginning Monday that everyone who is in category 1B, which would encompass all seniors over 65, the vaccine will shortly be ready for distribution. Each county has a link where you can sign up for the vaccine. Here are the links:

• St. Louis City: Residents can sign up here to receive vaccination notifications.
• St. Louis County: Resident can pre-register for here.
• St. Charles County: Resident can pre-register for the vaccine here.
• Jefferson County: Residents can pre-register here. 
• Warren County: Residents can pre-register here through Mercy.
• Lincoln County: Residents can pre-register here.
• Franklin County: Residents can pre-register here through Mercy.
• St. Francois County: Residents can pre-register here. 

For Illinois, we have 4 counties that we know of:

• St. Clair County: Residents can sign up here to pre-register and for information. 
• Madison County: Resident can pre-register for the COVID-19 vaccine here.
• Monroe County: Residents can sign up here for notifications. 
• Clinton County: Residents 65 and above should call 618-594-6622 to be put on the 1B waitlist. 

If we find out more information, we will gladly put it up.

Wallet /Credit Card sized schedule is available as a PDF file (below). This includes all 26 weeks of tournaments for Division 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 plus our Special Events.

This is a one (1) sheet 8.5×11, two (2) page form that includes all five weekly divisions plus the Special Events calendar information. One side has all 26 weeks in calendar order with a separate list of Special Events. The other side has the Special Events included in the calendar order with the Weekly Tournaments, useful if you are playing most Special Events.

Each division is printed in a 2.25″ length X 8.5″ width. Cut your division from the printed form. Then fold on the “FOLD LINE” to credit card size 2.25″ X 2.75″ size.

If you have a duplex printer (prints on 2 sides of paper) you can print it directly and cut out your division.  IMPORTANT – Print option to “flip on long side” to have the front and back for each division properly aligned on front and back. Print this on card stock for more heft.

If printer is not duplex, print both pages, cut out your division and attach the 2 sides together. Then fold at each “FOLD LINE” to credit card size.

This is what the form will look like.

Are you sitting around wishing the golf season would get here? Well, we can try some indoor practice to get us ready for when the season rolls around. There are practice tips that we can do indoors in our basement or even in the front room. Carpeting or a practice mat helps. And practice balls will help us stay out of the dog house. I am trying to practice putting and chipping since these are the improvements that can really help us lower our scores.

I have a YouTube channel that I follow, “MrShortGame Golf”. I like his videos because he does not go into super complicated methods that leave me confused. But there are many other good channels to follow also. I thought I would pass on some of his videos that I like and maybe help get us motivated to practice a little and get ready for the start of the season.

The first video is “The #1 Golf Chipping Method“. This video takes place outdoors but can be tried indoors. Click on the link and see what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_2u-QfELwY

I will add other videos after I try them out. And maybe add links to interesting golf articles.

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.
