It was hot, it was steamy, it rained and we had a weather delay but everyone stayed around and we completed week 14 with conference play. The only changes in standings Sons of Parnarchy moved up to 2nd place in the GVC West and into the first wildcard position in the conference. The GVC West division remains the strongest group where the last place team is only 36 points below the league leader Team Hack Attack that has 556.5 points.
Peter Crane maintains the lead for our WNL MVP leader with 66.5 points. The top 12 qualify for the season-ending Shootout.
Remember:
- If you are not scheduled to golf on any particular night, we can use you as a spotteror ranger. It can help with pace of play. To spot, just report to the pro shop and let them know and you’ll get a cart and flags for marking the ball. Common holes for spotting are #2, #3, #14, and #16. Or you can range around helping the groups that are slow catch up.

Weekly WNL Director Stats
- Legibility was difficult this week with a lot of wet cards. But good job doing the best you could under the conditions. Here is a listing of the the problems that slow down score entry:
- Number cards without finish time: Front: 3, Back: 2
- Cards with folds across scores: Front: 3, Back: 3
- Cards with missing or addition errors: Front: 6, Back: 0
- Cards missing or wrong team numbers or full names: Front: 1, Back: 1
- Starting Tee times were on 32 of 32 matches. (Please enter the scheduled tee time, not your actual time to tee off.)
- Pace of play – We had a 30 minute weather delay. The front finished in 3:05. The back finished in 2:53.
Weekly Reminders
- 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.
- If you are in the last group (6 PM tee time) please collect the on course flags when you leave the hole and put them in the bucket on the deck at the end of your round.
- Post your score! (The league does not post for you). We highly recommend hole-by-hole posting as it does a better job of calculating your proper ESC score.
Scorecards
- Please enter both the match start time and end time in the space provided. Make sure every bank on the card is filled in.
- Scorecards should be signed by at least one player from each team.
- Please don’t fold the card where scores are entered – this really impacts legibility.
- 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.
