When most of us were dry and enjoying the day inside, these "troupers/crazies" played 9 holes of golf in the rain on Thursday - at least it was reasonably warm.
Good on ya, ladies!
Thanks Dale and Bridget for sending.

Having received so little rain over this summer, we needed it, but did it have to come on this day?? However, most of us finished before it really came down and little rain never deterred this hardy group!
Many thanks to my group of helpers this year, who get the work done during the draw and after: Laura McCracken Ebbrell, Joan Hayward, Betty Bright, Dale Hodge, Dianne Beatty and Lynn Attley. Couldn't do it without you!
THE GROUPS
Susan Ross-Foster & Sandy Young; Tracey Bodashefsky and Gail Richards
Heather Ogden & Ene Milner (missing); Kim Wadsworth & Lynda Rennick
Dianne Beatty & Diane Arsenault; Leanne Stevenson & Lynn Attley
Annabel Thorpe & Leah Anne Goody; Cathy Morin & Joanne O'Sullivan
Laura McCracken Ebbrell & Jeanne Beaith; Carol MacGregor & Anne Parks
THE WINNERS:
FIRST: Jeanne Beaith & Laura McCracken Ebbrell
SECOND: Barb Pemberton & Sharon Brubacher
THIRD: Carol MacGregor & Anne Parks
The good news is our new railings may keep both our motorized and walking carts out of the water.
The bad news is: if you hit the railing, you play the ball as it lies. After checking with my Level 4 rules official friend, her ruling is: "anywhere except on the putting green, when a ball is in motion accidentally hits an outside influence (any person, animal or object), the ball must be played as it lies (Rule 11.1)".
~~~~~~~~
The Devil's Google Doc will be out as soon as I get a price for our food selections.
Please sign up by Friday.

ACHIEVEMENT BOARD
From Sandi:
At our recent DWS exec meeting we discussed the dwindling participation on the Achievement Board (in the locker room). There are prizes at the end of the year covered by your DWS funds. We would love to see more names on the board as our current policy dictates a minimum of 5 women participating to be eligible for year end prizes.
Currently about 50% of our DWS members are participating, mainly on the RED tees.
For a refresher on the particulars:
ALL HDCP’s quoted are from the RED course.
RED: Open to all players, no matter your handicap.
RED/GREEN: For players with a 21+ HDCP from RED.
GREEN: For players with 30+ HDCP from RED.
Ringers are your best scores from one game during the week - all 18 scores must be filled in and the winner is a net score. Any ringers during a match may also be counted.
Chip-ins and birdies/pars are treated the same way. One game per week can be counted plus any game during match play or Club Championship or Eclectic.
~~~~~~~~
MATCH PLAY UPDATES:
Matches are being played in a timely manner. The playing from different tees seems to be working very well! There have been several close matches.
I would suggest if you are involved in doubles, check the bulletin board for tips to keep the game moving. A match should not take any longer than a normal game. (All 4 players do not need to finish every hole.)
Second rounds for all matches are due to be played by August 3rd. Adherence to deadlines is appreciated by all.
~~~~~~~~
And one more item ...
Club Championship, and Mary Buckley Eclectic sign up sheets are on the in-club competitions board. IT IS A TRULY CLUB EVENT! Consider joining in!
