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.

Weekly WNL Director Stats  

• Legibility was really good again this week – great job scorekeepers! Here is a listing of the the problems that slow down score entry:
  • Number cards without finish time: Front: 2, Back: 4
  • Cards with folds across scores: Front: 5, Back: 5
  • Cards with addition errors: Front: 3, Back: 0
  • Cards missing team numbers or full names: Front: 0, Back: 0
  • 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 – The front and back finished in 2:30 minutes – a bit off our average about 2:20. Keep working on it and keep your foursome on the heals of the group in front of you – everyone will appreciate your efforts! More spotters might help – volunteer if you can!

If you like how the league is going – tell each other about it. If you are unhappy about something – tell a board member. (Feel free to drop a comment on the web site if you have ideas, concerns or comments.)

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. 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.
