Match no shows due to virus:

California Golf Course h)as temporarily waivered tee fees for players that are no shows for the virus.  Treasurer Chuck Reckers would need to know who the no show is by Tuesday 6 p.m. since he needs to make one payment to the course.

It was decided to make a temporary waiver to the League Rules on no shows due to the virus.  Example:  If player B on Team 1 and player C on Team 2 are no show due to virus, then Team 1 Player C & D would move up to B & C, Team 2 player D would move up to C.  Both no shows would hold the D position and match points split 9 each.  The other 3 players would compete for Team Medal.

Team Freeman has dropped out due the virus and currently unable to fill that team.  Teams scheduled to play vs Team Freeman will play and when finished pull a Team number as their opponent for scoring. 

 

Riding carts:

Treasurer Chuck Reckers needs to know who will need to ride/walk front & back and particularly who will be walking front then riding back nine, since he will be making one payment to the course if you say you are riding and get to the course and decide to walk there is no refund for cart fee.  Also, if you say you are walking and decide at the course you want a cart it can’t happen since the course is not collecting cart fees.  Remember that on one person/bag in a cart, no ride sharing.

 

Collecting monies for dues/green fees:

Leagues is to make one payment per week to cover greens fees + cart fees.  Chuck will only collect for partial year at this time.  Dues/Fees due the 1st week are $166.00 if walking, $230.00 for riding.  Chuck will send out to the team captains on team members amount due for the 1st week.  Chuck does ask for monies be mailed to him at 5641 Glen Oak, Mason, OH 45040.  He will have his car parked near the clubhouse (grey Camry) with window partially open to drop envelopes into.

 

 Money games.

There will be no Greenie/Long Putt/Skins until threat of the virus is gone.  The Briefcase will not be out for collecting anything. 

 

Scorecard/Recap sheets:

Since the Briefcase will not be out Team Captains can get the players averages from the web or call Charlie Halpin.  When finished Scorecards need to take a clear photo and e-mail or text to Charlie (e-mail: halpinc@aol.com) (text: 859-512-1822).   Charlie will do the automated recap sheet at home.
