Poppy Ridge Tournament Rescheduled

With inclement weather on the original tournament date, the club rescheduled our annual event at Poppy Ridge on the date noted above.  The first tee time will be 11:50am with times extending until 2:10pm to accommodate the sixty players who signed up.  If you are unable to play, please let the Tournament Chairman Mike Matkowski know as soon as possible.  If you did not get in on the original event and would like to play, again contact Mike since there will probably be some openings.

With this new date, your original tee time was bumped up an hour and fifty minutes.  These may change depending on how many people cancel and how many others take their place.  Be sure to check the website a couple of days before the event.  You don't want to miss your tee time.

Match Play Contestants Needed

If you've thought about trying your hand at match play or are a veteran of the head-to-head format, sign up for the club's second major tournament of the year, the Match Play Championship, starting March 29.  Since this is a bracket tournament, we need players in groups of 16 to make it work.  The tournament committee's goal is to have a full field of 64 players broken into four flights.

Sign up today to ensure your place in this event.  There will be no first round byes.  If we don't have enough players to fill out one of the 16 player brackets, those who sign up late may not get to play.

Online Tournament Signups Encouraged

The Board of Directors has waived any on-line signup fees for 2008 and strongly encourages members to enter tournaments using our secure signup system.  It makes things easier for everyone involved including the Tournament Director and the Treasurer.

If you sign up the old fashioned way, please DO NOT staple your check to the entry form nor use anything other than blue or blank ink when writing your check.  Our Treasurer's schedule dictates that he use the ATM for deposits and our big-name bank now requires that each check be posted individually at the ATM.  Staple holes and non-standard ink colors often cause the check to be rejected and the information entered manually.

2008 Member Directory Mailed

The 2008 member directory was mailed February 20.  Members on the club roster as of February 13 were included unless they opted out.  Some members have chosen to be included in the directory but with limited information printed.

Member information is also available on our secure website.  As with the directory, members can choose to be included or not and can select which information is viewable.  To find members electronically, log into the Member section by entering your GHIN number and password.  There you can search by name and/or city and get a list of everyone who matches your search criteria.

2008 TOC Points Chase Shaping Up

With the Director's Cup completed, the TOC standings have taken a real shuffle.  Adolfo Pina, with his second place finish, is now the points leader followed closely by Bob Kelley and Woody Maynard who both won their flights.  There's plenty of points out there just waiting but you have to sign up and play to have a chance at them.
