Know where to find Tournament Results?  If not, open Leaderboard.systems.  Scroll down, or over (depending on what device you use) until you see a text menu.  Select “Results”, then click the Go button for the day you wish to see.  The winner $ shown are really points (2 or 3).  Points are accumulated over the season and paid at the end of the year.  See the Award Points chart for how many points are given for each prize category. Also you can see all your rounds posted by clicking on “My Game”.

Reminders from the Tournament Chairs (Margaret and Sue): Please read the GWGA Handbook and follow procedures. When the scorecards are illegible or incomplete, it takes the closers extra time to close the day. Scorekeepers: (all must take a turn). Official or Back-up must be written at the top; turn in both cards. Date the cards. Finish time needs to be recorded in the designated blank. Legible signatures please – all players must sign the official card; one signs the back-up card.  

Message from GWGA President, Kathi Pierce: This season we are focusing on our Pace of Play in order to ensure we do NOT have any 5-6 hour rounds. One important aspect is for every group to use the Pace of Play time chart card provided in the clubhouse. Whoever picks up the scorecards should also take the pace chart that is specifically for your tee time. This card will let you know if your group is currently on pace during the round. Keep it with the scorecard and return it afterwards; don’t leave it in a cart.  Play Ready Golf. This means…. Even if your ball is lying closer to the pin you should make your shot if other players are not Ready. Each week you will receive an email showing round times so you can compare your group to the rest of the league. If you need help with your pace you should contact Sue Spatcher for some great pointers. The good news is after 4 weeks of golf we are averaging 4:20 rounds. Kudos to Carey & Wanda on a 3:07 round & Kim, Ingrid & Jeanie on a 3:30 round!!!

Please use the GWGA double par rule. Pick up after reaching double par (6 strokes on par 3, 8 strokes on par 4, and 10 strokes on par 5, if not on the green). Place the ball on the green one putter head inside the green. Limit of 3 putts then pick up the ball and record 4 putts on the scorecard for the hole.

On Thursday mornings, if you are not coming, call the clubhouse and cancel, 703/971-3788.

What is the difference between our 2 separate websites?  Leaderboard is only used to sign up for tee times, enter scores and calculate tournament results for each week.  The GWGA website contains everything else: the GWGA Handbook, Membership directories, meeting minutes, photos, overnight trip information, rules and more.  For either site, just open your browser and type “leaderboard.systems” or something like “Greendale women’s golf” and you can find us, you do not need to remember the specific wording of the website link.
