Before going to the results, this is a friendly reminder that we need to pick up the pace during league play as we continue to lose daylight each week. The Board is looking at starting all tee times 10 minutes earlier for August 24, August 31 and September 7. Additional measures may be needed to make sure teams in playoff contention are able to complete all matches. Team Captains will be notified once a decision is made by the BMGA Board.

The Weekly Rant
- Two scorecards were not turned in after golf on August 10 so yours truly had to track them down. All cards in the BMGA Bucket boys!
Future Events
- Make-up of Week #4 – As of August 11, “Week #4” will be made up on September 7. If you were scheduled to play on May 18, you are likely on the schedule. Check with your Team Captain if you have any questions or conflicts.
- WNL Playoffs – The first round of the playoffs is scheduled for September 14. Conference Championships will follow on September 21 with the WNL Championship scheduled for September 28. October 5 is being held as a potential makeup date.
Reminders
- Pace of Play is 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.
- 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.
- 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.
