Once again another beautiful sunny day. I can’t think of a year where we have had such awesome weather so early. June 1st is coming so maybe the rules on booze and food will change shortly. If things change I’ll be the first to let you know.

Guys once again please put last names as well on your card. If you don’t know your team number find out… And lastly if you haven’t downloaded the app USGA GHIN do it and figure it out…. We had one scorecard this week that took at least 30 minutes of MY time that I will never get back. They had none of these things also to top it off we have multiple teams with guys having the same first name. It’s not hard your playing with these guys for 2 hours get the information. If you don’t know how to fill out a card don’t keep score!!!

Our second weekend tournament is ready to kick off. On May 30th we will have our opening weekend event.

The bracket can be found via Golf Genius and will be linked on the home page at all times.

Tee times for those playing can be found via the Tee Sheet on Golf Genius. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on the first tee starting at 6:30 AM.

Scorecards will be available on the first tee but they are also available from here to view. With the new daily updates for Handicap, the Tournament Committee has created handicaps based on your 5/29/2020 handicap and that should be used for matches being played on 5/30/2020.

If you are still interested in playing in the Individual Match play please reach out to me at golf-at-brynteson.info and we will get you scheduled.

At the conclusion of each match make sure to e-mail me the results so I can update the online bracket.

Hey guys, well this weeks scorecards were definitely not anything to brag about. Please remember first and last names, if you don’t know your team number any chance you can figure it out by week 3. Also there about 7 guys who have yet even purchased their patron card let alone their GHIN. This league is handicapped so that puzzles me a little.

One Scorecard per foursome Please!!! We have a limited amount of cards this season. Sorry if you have to use your phone or maybe get a scorecard from under the door of the clubhouse. Leave my scorecards to the 1 person scoring the 4 some. Please call anyone out if you see them grabbing a card just for themselves. Go ahead and book a uk golf break at belton woods golf and make sure you have the best vacations ever.

Hey guys well for our first ever socially distancing round of Wednesday night league, that went really smooth. Thanks! Hopefully later this Summer we can actually hang out and have a beer.

The cards were perfect! Thanks for filling out last names as well and of course the much needed team numbers. For those of you have yet to download the USGA Ghin app your doing yourself a disservice. It’s quite handy and it will tell you what your handicap is for 9 holes Member tees in a flash. If there were any errors it was people not knowing their handicap.

Below is the 2-Man Match Play bracket. A few reminders as we start this year-long tournament.

1. You, as players, are responsible for setting up all tee times. There is NO opening weekend play for the 2-man match play this year. Please try your absolute best to schedule these as fast as possible.
2. We have 74 players (37 teams!!!). It is the largest opening bracket we have had that I can remember. As such, there are a handful of round 1 matches or play-in-matches or the-computer-picked-you-sorry matches.
3. When you matches are complete, you need to e-mail me so I can update the bracket. The dates on the bracket are when we would like those rounds completed prior to, get the first rounds in ASAP please.

If you believe you see any errors with pairings, you are missing, etc. please let me know ASAP.

As we get prepared to enter our first week of league the board thought it was important to remind all players of a few items. We also wanted to share news about the 18th hole.

Member Tees

For all league events, WNL and Weekend Tournaments, we use the Member Tee Shortened. This consists of a combo of Blue and White tees. Here is your list to remind yourself:

Front: #1 (Blue), #2 (Blue), #3 (White), #4 (Blue), #5 (Blue), #6 (Blue), #7 (White), #8 (White), #9 (Blue)

Back: #10 (White), #11 (Blue), #12 (White), #13 (Blue), #14 (White), #15 (Blue), #16 (White), #17 (Blue), #18 (White)

18th Hole

If you have not had a chance to play at Brookview this year you will discover a new White Tee box. This is set approximately 40 yards back from the previous tee box. With that, it means we have a new slope and rating for 2020. Below is the new course measurements and member tee handicap breakdown.

I would aim a little more to the right when teeing off from #18 now. Carrying the trees is a little more difficult.

Find all course handicap breakdowns via the MGA.
