through the hole (three points).
We establish teams each time from a lottery draw. We ask for $2 as we
use the funds for prizes at the end of the evening. Weather dictates if we
play inside in the Wellness Room or outside under the covered patio.
We run a semi-annual tournament where we track our high point
winners. December was the end to our latest
tournament. Congratulations to the following in order of high
points: Rosie Lehto, Michael Morales, Bruce Frolich, Bill Winter, Deb
Edgell, and tied are Dolores Contreras and Mia Winter.
We’ve begun collecting our semi-annual dues of $5 from the regular
players. If you haven’t paid, please bring it the next time you play.
Play for February will be on February 5th, 7th, 19th and 21st. Monday
play is at 1:00 pm and Wednesday play is at 5:30 pm.
A sign-up email is sent out approximately one week before scheduled
play. We have had great turnout so in order to give everyone a chance to
play, we ask that initially you only sign up for your first choice. Then
place your name on the wait list for the other day. If there is room for
additional players, we will notify the players from the waitlist.
All new players are welcome!
