REGISTRATION NOTICE-Ladies League

Hello Lady Golfers…as you all know we are capped at 40 golfers for Ladies Day every Friday. If you know beforehand that you’re not able to play for whatever reason, please, go into the El Tigre Leagues Website and De-Select your name on your calendar for the date in question. Don’t forget to “SAVE“ the changes at the top of your screen, otherwise they will be lost. Doing this will allow other ladies the opportunity to play.  We have experienced a number of “NO SHOWS” since the beginning of the season and this is unacceptable as it denys others the opportunity to play, and causes changes to be made at the 12th hour for those of us who organized the weekly game. Thanking you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

Men’s League Announcements – Friday, January 12th, 2024

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

There are two announcements that I have been asked to pass on to the Men’s League members, including:

1 – Tim Janeway reported that he was missing his Ping 5 wood (club and cover) first discovered after our round last Wednesday. The club and cover may have mistakenly been placed in someone else’s golf bag. Please reply to this post if you find the club.

2 – Ron Volk reported that he tested positive for Covid yesterday morning and he asked that I let the members know of his situation. Thank you, Ron, for sharing this unfortunate news and we wish you a speedy recovery.

Gimme putt rule

Over the past few weeks, there has been some controversy and discussion about gimme putts.
Until now, gimme putts are allowed if putt length is within the leather grip.
On Monday after the game, we had a discussion about gimme putts. We have examined some proposals for a new rule.
After discussion we decide to adopt a new rule for gimme.

All putts for a score counting on the card must be holed.
If a putt could possibly count for a skins or improve team score, it must be done.

We are all aware that we are team-mates in the foursome, but the honesty and fairness for all must prevail.
It is useful to remember that in the PGA and RCGA rules, there is no gimme.
We are not the only group having discussion over gimme. Take a look at this article from PGA website.
