WNL Week 6 Results (5/31/23)

Seems like everyone likes the warm weather – scores seemed generally lower this week with a lot of low 40’s posted. Team Hack Attack (#3) in the GVC West Division continues to lead the league with 264.5 points. Next week brings on another division competition. It is still early in the season, but the division leaders don’t look like they are relinquishing their top positions. This could be a race for the wild card slots. 

Remember:

• If you are not scheduled to golf on any particular night, we can use you as a spotter. 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.

The Weekly Rant  

• Legibility was really good this week – only a few cards that required closer inspection to decipher. However we continue to have problems with addition. This slows down score entry so, PLEASE, check the addition before you sign your card.
• Starting Tee times were on 31 of 32 matches – we had to chase down one foursome. Three matches on the front and three matches on the back were missing end times.
• Great job on the pace of play – this is the first time in recorded history (as far as I know) that we finished both the front and the back in 2:20. Very close to the expected pace on the score card of 2:08. We have proven we can do it. The third group on the front was a bit slow but but the rest of the groups kept right up. The back slowed down to 2:30 in the middle but the last few groups took up the slack. Keep working on it and keep your foursome on pace!

Weekly Reminders

1. 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.
2. 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.

Scorecards  

• Please enter both the match start time and end time in the space provided.
• 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.
