Course and Weather Conditions:
Since having some pretty big storms a few weeks back…the course was pretty wet and muddy. A lot of red stakes where the rain had left huge puddles, greens were playing pretty fast (at least that was MY excuse!) The weather was absolutely beautiful, a little chilly in the morning, but then the sun was shining!

An awesome day…cold beers after and fun stories! Can’t wait to do it again next month! Hope to see you out there! Kim

HANDICAP CHAIR - Barbara Conerly
Welcome to 2010!

Have you noticed….NCGA is now calculating your handicap twice a month. Remember to post all your scores including 9 hole rounds. After each tournament, be sure to double check your scores, provide the date, and ensure the scorer signs the card. The card must also be attested and signed by another golfer in your group. At the end of each tournament turn your scorecards into the Tournament Chair. Make sure not to post your score as the Tournament Chair will take care of all postings.
