· Last Year Season What Worked, What Didn’t (Money Games, Scramble, Outing, Etc.) (Charlie Halpin)
- Money games (Skins/Greenies/Long Putt) – This worked well last year and will remain the same this season.
Regulars pay 1st week for the whole season (or pay half the 1st week and remainder mid-season). Weekly game cost: Skins $3, Greenies $1, Long Putt $1. For 18 regular golf weeks Skins cost would $54, for Greenies cost would be $18, Long Putt cost would be $18. Players can choose which games they wish to play in (not have to play in all). Whole season cost if play in Skins/Greenies/Long Putt cost is $90, if play in only Skins and Greenies cost is $72, if play in Skins and Long Putt only cost is $72, if play in Greenies and Long Putt only cost is $36. Subs playing for those in the games will be eligible for the player they are subbing for, no weekly collection, and refunds will be given for rainouts. Team Average sheet will be marked so players know who is in what games (s = Skins, g = greenies, p = Long Putt, sgp = all games).
- Team Championship Award: Last year Embroidered Polo Shirts were presented to the League Champions. This worked well and all agreed for this to remain the same for this year.
- Scramble: This worked well last year and will remain the same this year.
- Outing: Number of golfers at the Outing was low last year. Cost being one of the big concerns. Outing Committee will look into planning early and possibly include dinner and cutting extras.
- Tee Off Markers: No changes to tee off marker rules. Anyone changing tees need to request prior to 1st golf.
