Congratulations to Bob Jones who had a Hole-In-One on #13 Monday.

There were 102 players for Monday’s start of the 2020 Spring Season with a 9:00 AM Shotgun start.  We had 5 “No Shows” which left 21 that had previously cancelled.  Be sure to send Mike Fountain an email at mike.fountain@cor.gov, prior to 5:00 PM Saturday afternoon if you do not want to be included in the “No Shows” the following Monday.  Do not call as the Pro Shop has no procedure in place to ensure that Fountain will receive your message.

The revised Flight Listing is attached with a few changes plus I deleted the 2^nd Excel work sheet.

See Below for an explanation of the USGA GHIN Handicap Changes:

REMEMBER:  March Start Time is 9:00 AM.  In April we will change to an 8:30 AM Start Time.  Don’t Forget Daylight Savings change this Sunday.
