It was time for division rivals to hit the course to try and improve not only their point totals, but their division and conference records. In fact, we had three matches where the Division Leader teed off against the second place team in their division. After the last golf balls fell in the cup in Week 7, we had the following results.

The Weekly Rant
Reminders
- Using a Range Finder with the Slope functionality turned on is prohibited under USGA Rule 4.3a (1). The penalty for violating this Rule is the “General Penalty” (Loss of Hole in Match Play) with repeat violations leading to disqualification. For more information see USGA Rule 1.3c (2).
- BMGA veterans please take the time to mentor new members especially when out on the course. There is a lot to learn if you never played with a formal handicap, never played match play, etc.
- Pace of Play is critical to the enjoyment of all. Please be to your tee time early (10 Minutes is a solid benchmark).
Scorecards
- Hey guys when you sign a scorecard it means it supposed to be complete and correct in terms of addition, scores, etc.
- Scorecards should be signed by at least one player from each team.
- Please write down your tee time (e.g. 3:30, 3:40, etc.) and team number (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.).
- 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.
Handicaps
- Please 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).
Screenshot of BMGA WNL Scoring System
The screenshot below shows where teams, players, player handicaps, and individual scores for each hole need to be entered for 128 players each week. Having scorecards, that are complete, accurate and legible makes the data entry into the system that much easier!
