The Weekly Rant  

• August 31 and September 7 – All tee times will be moved up by 10 minutes for the final two weeks of the regular season. For example, if you were scheduled for 4:30 p.m. you will now tee off at 4:20 p.m.
  
  Per the BMGA Wednesday Night League Guide, a Player is considered late if he is not on the tee box at his scheduled tee time.  A “Late Player” is considered an “Absent Player” once any player in the following tee time has hit their tee shot.  For more information see page 4.

Future Events

1. Make-up of Week #4 – As of Aug 25, “Week #4” will be made up on Sept 7. Check with your Team Captain if you have questions.
2. WNL Playoffs – The first round of the playoffs is set for Sept 14. Conference Championships will follow on Sept 21 with the WNL Championship set for Sept 28.  Oct 5 is being held as a potential makeup date.

Reminders

1. Pace of Play is becoming even more critical now that the sun is setting earlier each week. Here are some examples of how everyone can play a little faster:
   • Be early to your tee time.
   • Do not exceed time limit to search for a lost ball. The time limit is three (3) minutes!
   • Putting out after missing a putt vs. remarking a one footer.
   • Giving your opponent that six inch putt.
   • Playing ready golf vs. strictly following the “honors” system.
2. If an issue arises on the course during WNL play that may impact the result of a match, please bring the matter to the WNL Director’s (or other BMGA Board Member) attention so we can try to resolve it right away.

Handicaps

• If you are not entering your scores (or accurate scores) you are hurting yourself, your team and the people you are playing against. This includes WNL scores and “Away” scores.  To ensure an accurate handicap, you should be entering “hole by hole” scores.  
• All players are responsible for entering a correct course handicap per USGA Rule 3.2c (1). Post your scores for WNL as they are not entered by the BMGA or Brookview. 
• The WNL Director is not responsible for checking the accuracy of the player’s handicap on the scorecards. Check the GHIN App before teeing off to get your current handicap and adjust it to the Side (Front or Back) and Tees (Member or Gold).

Scorecards  

• Scorecards should be signed by at least one player from each team.
• If someone concedes a hole, please mark an “X.”  This is especially important when both players score a 9 but the hole is conceded by the player who picks up their ball first.
