Local rules for the Wednesday morning golf league
Ages 70 and above may play from the Gold tees.
Everyone will be required to play from the sand traps or take a stroke penalty to lay out. Lay out behind the trap keeping it in the line of play. If traps are flooded a free drop will be allowed. You can inprove your lie in the trap by removing stones and rakeing the sand and placing the ball.
No "Gimme" putts. Putt everything out. Practice continuous putting to speed up play if possible.
A 1 club length drop away from trees is allowed. If you are behind the tree keep the tree in your line of play. Drop no closer to the hole.
When marking your ball, place the marker directly behind the ball.
Foursomes will be made up by drawing balls from a hat except on our monthly scramble days.
Other than "local rules" we will play by USGA rules.

14 brave golfers teed off the morning of Wednesday, May 6th . They had to endure an extremely wet golf course, but that didn't stop them from posting some fine scores. It was our monthly 4 man scramble. The team of Dale Groth, Ron Wolf, Gary Conde and Dennis Cooper bested the field with a smooth 73. Dennis Wade, John Dillbeck and Sam Rose played as a threesome and rotated an extra shot for the fourth man. They finished second with a 75. Closest to the pin honors went to Dale Groth on #6 and to Sam Rose, AGAIN, on #11. Seems Sam is making a habit of winning this hole.
The smaller than normal turnout was caused by 10 of our normal players going to Joplin and competing in a Seniors 2 man scramble tourney. The team of Butch Watson and Ray Graham finished 3rd in the "A" flite with a 2 under par score of 69. Jack Shoup and Bob York finished 3rd in the "B" flite shooting a 74.
