Look who ELSE was in Viet Nam this week:

But more importantly, Susan R-F and Ene were there as well. They travelled 5 miles straight up in an open air cable car to visit the Golden Hands Bridge in Viet Nam.

Thanks for sending the vacation pictures, Susan!

Laura and John are enjoying some golf with Bridget and Doug at Crown Colony GC 

in very hot Fort Myers, FL. 

After Diane and Sandi finished their second "Nancy Lopez Adventure" in California, they met up with Mary Lou and Lynn Marie. They enjoyed a round at Los Robles GC in Thousand Oaks and some "Dalewood camaraderie" afterwards.

Some of our members enjoying the "Girls Night Out" last Saturday at Dalewood:

On our way home from Florida we stopped at one of my favourite places: Pinehurst, NC. The weather cooperated nicely with a high of 80F on February7!!  We played the new 9-hole par 3 course, called "The Cradle". The green fee allows you to play all day and kids under 18 play for free. We played at 9am and had the course to ourselves until the 17th hole! If you are ever there, you have to try the 18 hole putting green called "Thistle Dhu". The whole experience exceeded expectations, again!

Any vacation pictures are welcome!

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.
