This poster shows some of the 2019 changes to the Rules of Golf. The Golf Rules tab above has further explanations, some diagrams, and short (1 minute) video attached with most. 

So far, #'s 19 and 20 are my favourites! Lots of time saved!!

Barb has asked me to post this. She says there is a group of about 10 and more are welcome. Call Jen or Aimee for a ticket, which can be chitted.

Diane Moffat sent some vacation pictures of her visiting and golfing with Betty and Jack Bright. Alligators love the warm Florida sunshine, too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Rules Year!

I have revised the Rules tab near the top of the blog to reflect the major changes in the rules starting in January 2019. I have also included rules that are not new, but should be revisited occasionally. 

For more information and clarity, USGA has put together 12 videos that are 45 to 60 seconds in length that explain the rules really well. Just put this link in your browser to find them:

ENJOY THE WINTER WHERE EVER YOU ARE!

Don't forget vacay pictures!

We had a great group for our annual Christmas Luncheon. Chef Jen did her usual wonderful buffet and we had some unique servers and "bussers"! The club looked festive, the food was delicious, and the company terrific.

Anne missing from her table, of course! But never fear . . . 

And Jane looking after the centre piece!

Merry Christmas all! Have a safe and healthy 2019.

Our first holiday pic for the season - hopefully others will add theirs as the winter progresses. Just send them (with a small explanation) to Jeanne's email address.

Barb, vacationing in Punta Cana, says: Now that I don't have to worry about driving, it is my turn to try the tequila and beer! Thanks to Lynn Marie for the introduction. I think. 

(She liked more than expected.)

Don't forget to email Jeanne, by Nov 23, if you are coming to the Christmas luncheon on Nov 30. We have 20 so far.

Our annual Christmas luncheon is booked for Friday, Nov 30 at 12 noon. I have reserved 2 tables but more can be accommodated. Please let me know by Friday, Nov 23 if you will be attending by sending me an email (jbeaith@sympatico.ca). I will send you a return email confirming your attendance. 

The cost is $19.95 + tax and gratuity for a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

 

 

The renovated (longer and flatter) red/white tee box on #4. Work is also being done on the blue tee.

Save the Date!

It's early, but because the Christmas Buffets are filling up, 

I have booked Friday, Nov 30 for our annual Christmas 

get-together. I'll send out details in early November.

We're not there yet, but the Games Committee would like you to know that if you lose a ball in the leaves, 

just drop another ball with no penalty. It's time to put the orange and pink balls away!

Thanks to Lynn Marie and Mary Lou for once again opening their beautiful home and hosting the "Social"!   Looks like everyone had a great time! Thanks to Lynn Marie for sending some of these photos.

The winners of the Greta Philips, together again!

My efforts, with help from others, of getting a picture of Anne!
