Mens League - 37. page

Welcome all El Tigre golfers,

The game for this Wednesday, November 14th will be a four person Team Stableford competition. Team Stableford is a point system format with each player gaining points for their net score on each hole. Net double eagles are worth 8 points, net eagles 5 points, net birdies 3 points, net pars 2 points and net bogeys 1 point. The team with the most points accumulated at the completion of 18 holes will be your winner.

Please record all gross/net scores on your scorecard for all team players. Also, for each hole include a team total based on the point system described above. Remember to also circle any gross deuces on your card for any player that recorded a gross birdie on any of the par 3’s or a gross eagle on any of the par 4’s.  Lastly, please remember to repair divot holes and ball marks and smooth footprints in bunkers.

Good luck to everyone. Have fun!

El Tigre Golfers,

Welcome back to El Tigre for another golf season. The opening game will be the Waltz. The Waltz is the 1,2,3 game: Record 1 low net score on hole #1, Record the 2 low net scores on hole #2, Record the 3 low net scores on hole #3, and then back to recording the 1 low net score on hole #4, and so on…… Golf tee off time is 09:00 hours.

Record your players gross/net scores on the card, and keep the net total for each hole underneath the bottom player on the card. Also, record all gross dueces made by circling the score on the card.

Please have a look at the Mens League introduction page found under the “Leagues” tab on the website. It has some rules and information. This will be modified as new golf rules are implemented.

Lets try to remember to pick up the Closest to the Pin markers on the Par 3’s. I think it works like this: The last foursome will pick up the markers on holes 2, 6, and 12. The 16A or 16B team will pick up the marker on the 15th green. The 18A or 18B team will pick up the marker on hole 17.

Until Wednesday…….

Hola Golfers,

I happen to be in Nuevo at the present time taking care of my kitty cats. This allows me the opportunity to witness the spectacular thunder/rain/lightning storms. Mother nature provides entertainment for free.

I thought I would populate the Mens League Calendar for the upcoming season. You should now be able to login and check the Wednesday boxes in your own calendars for the dates you would like to play.

The course at this time of the year is very green and lush. The rains make the greens very receptive. Fairway grass is allowed to grow a bit higher than normal, otherwise it would be very muddy. The greens have just been deep punched for the final time before the regular playing season. It looks to be another great year.

On a personal note: I am migrating to Gmail. My new email is mcdonaldpvr@gmail.com. Please use this address rather than my old Yahoo address.

Have a great fall season, and will see you later

Hola Amigos,

The game for Wednesday April 25th will be a four person team Nassau (net) event 1-9, 10-18, and total 18. Each team will count 2 net  best balls on each hole. There will be three payouts; 1) overall 18 best score, 2) best score for 1-9, and 3) best score for 10-18.

As usual please fill all divots and repair all ball marks. I will be collecting your $100 pesos next Wednesday.

Hola Amigos,

The game for next week will be the “Waltz”. The Waltz is the 1,2,3 game: Record 1 low net score on hole #1, Record the 2 low net scores on hole #2, Record the 3 low net scores on hole #3, and then back to recording the 1 low net score on hole #4, and so on……

Thanks for keeping the course in good shape by filling in divots and repairing ball marks on the greens.

Nice to see that folks are using the handicap system, and that the reminder email is working as it should. Thanks Gerard, Phil, Duane for their time working with the system. Special thanks to Myles for all of his efforts being our “El Capitan”, and for all of his efforts directed at ensuring a smooth golf event every Wednesday.

A few brief updates…..

• Please make sure that you update your calendar every week by no later than 3:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon (the system cut-off time for the computer generated pairings) for the following day’s Men’s Mixer golfing event,
• If you have a guest that you would like to have play with you for any of the Wednesday golfing events, please email me (markusgmelin@gmail.com), the name of your guest, prior to the cut-off time, and every effort will be made to have that player join your group,
• As Myles mentioned last week to all of the players, please do not ask to be paired with any other members for the weekly Wednesday golf event, since this undermines the random computer generated team assignment process that we have in place. Thank you for your understanding!
• The money collector for next Wednesday will be Don Sorochan…thank you Don!

I wish everyone a great Easter and I look forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday. For those of you travelling North, safe travels and we will see you next Fall.
