Monthly update from the El Tigre Lady’s Day Committee

The newly formed El Tigre Lady’s Day Committee has now met a few times and we are making progress on introducing some new games,  formats and ideas for the group.  Please find a summary below of some of the changes and news so far this year!

 

Communication:

All communication (like this message) will now come through the El Tigre system. You must sign up for all games online, update your calendar if your plans change, and watch for reminders and notices. You will receive a general reminder on Saturday for any groups you have joined; Lady’s Day and Couples. You will receive the weekly Ladies Day message on Wednesday each week.   If you need help with the computer system please let any of us on the committee know and we will be happy to show you how it works.

Participation:

All ladies are welcome to play with the Ladies Day group, either socially or for the weekly game. This means that you can play with the group even if you do not want to play in the league. If you play the game, the cost to participate will be 50 pesos. There is also now an option to play for the skill prizes for an additional 20 pesos per week.  We are no longer accepting t -gifts but those ladies that have already donated this year will be entered into the Skill Prize competition each week at no additional cost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The T-gifts that we have will be given away each week as door prizes to any lady (including social or guest players) who is in attendance.

Games/Format:

We are making an effort to offer a variety of games and formats. Beginning in January we will provide a monthly list of games so you can know in advance if the format is of interest to you. In general there will be two 4 person team games, one 2 person team game and one individual game per month. These games may be by flight (grouped by similar handicap) or random. That detail will be listed for each game.

Interclub

Vivian is working on a date for Interclub. She has already confirmed that the Flamingo ladies would like to participate again and she will also contact Vista Vallarta to see if they have any ladies interested as well. Stay tuned for more details.

Closing Tournament

In response to feedback from the Spring 2017 survey we are going to host a closing tournament; date to be confirmed! The format is yet to be determined but you can count on that it will be fun and that there will be something for everyone regardless of skill level. We are aiming for 100% participation More details to come!

Phil Woodrum is leaving

Please see below the message from Phil and Patti.

Dear Members,
It is with both joy and sadness that I announce my resignation from El Tigre on December 3O, 2018. Joy because we are moving to North Carolina as the Vice President of Golf Operations to a company of 13 golf courses, expanding to 23 by the end of next year. Sadness in the fact that we are leaving a facility, membership, and staff that we have grown to love.
Either like or dislike what I have done in the past, we, along with a lot of work from our terrific staff, have accomplished some of the following things:
Brought the golf course back from terrible condition, with the greens worst of all, into one if not the finest facility in the Banderas Bay area.
Re-made our Golf Shop into a festive place, even with the high tariffs that we are paying for merchandise.
Led the way for the first purchase, and then this year the second, of new golf carts with the Visage GPS Systems.
Overseen the expansion of the membership, the Men´s, Ladies, and Couples Leagues.
Assisted the staff in refining their customer service into the best in the area.
We have done this all in the fairest way possible, treating each member as equals, applying the rules the same to all, and still have increased the outside play which has kept your dues down.
We have not accomplished this on our own and wish to thank the following:
The Sovernigo Family. While they do not know about golf, they have supported me and the golf course always. Decisions that have been made without having extensive golf knowledge, but in the end, the right decisions are made. It is extremely hard to set up an entire operation like Paradise Village and to get every decision right. However, they have constantly made improvements in front and behind the scenes. We thank them for the opportunity to work here.
The Staff. The managers and staff here are tireless in their efforts to the membership and guests. They put up with the bad days and still have a smile during their work time. They are a joy to be around and will continue to make every day great for the members.
The Membership,even though we have had our differences, we respect your membership and your friendship. We have tried to improve the facilities that you use every year, even though you might not see all the changes. You will be missed.
In closing, we will miss El Tigre.
