Greendale Women's Golf Association, Alexandria, Va

Several people have inquired about the shotgun sign-up.  It will be published on schedule, this evening.  The luncheon sign-ups must be separate from golf sign-up because there are some who come for lunch but not for golf and some who play golf but don’t stay for lunch.  It simplifies ordering of food for us to have 2 separate sign ups.

• Expect to arrive EARLY Thursday – free bunker clinic by Pro, Peter Kim at 7:00 a.m.
• Those who sign up to start on Hole 1A or 1B MUST WALK.
• Those who sign up to start on Hole 17A or 17B or 16A or 16B MUST RIDE
• Walkers or Riders may start on Hole 18A and 18B.

FAQ: Why can’t a rider start on hole 1?  If riders take slots on Hole 1, there are not enough slots available for walkers.   Walkers cannot get back to hole 17 or 16 fast enough to start playing on time so they must start at holes closest to the clubhouse.

FAQ Why can’t a walker start on 16 or 17?  Same reason.  Walkers can’t get back to hole 17 or 16 fast enough to start playing on time so they must start at holes closest to the clubhouse.

GWGA members have received an invitation from Twin Lakes Women’s Golf Association to join in a day of golf, fun and food on Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Other neighboring women’s golf leagues have also been invited.

9 a.m. shot-gun start on the Oaks Course; $65 fee includes greens fee, cart, prizes and lunch.  Contests will be held throughout the round so there will be plenty of fun and prizes. The round of golf will be followed by a luncheon and the opportunity to meet and greet fellow women golfers.  Registration due by June 6.  More info is in the registration form. Click here for a registration form.

Hello golfers!  Get ready for fun at Twin Lakes.  Monday evening about 6 p.m. Judy will be sending you TWO early sign-up invitations for the fourth week in May: one for Thursday May 22nd at Twin Lakes and one for Friday May 23rd at Greendale.   You may sign up for either or both.   These golf days are purely for fun – no league games played or winners, awards, birdies or chip-ins on either of these days (Twin lakes is not our home course and Friday is not a league day).   We are running these sign-ups early because both Twin Lakes and Greendale need to know how many people to expect so they can block the time for us.  Therefore these 2 signups will have a deadline of Thursday May 8.

Here’s a reminder of why we are doing this, in case you missed the Spring meeting and haven’t heard.  Our league day on Thursday, May 22nd was bumped by  Greendale so they can host Arlington Seniors Golfers (larger group, more revenue).   Greendale Manager, Peter Kim, has made arrangements for us to play at Fairfax County Twin Lakes Golf Course in Clifton, VA, on the Oaks Course, at a reduced non-prime rate.  You may walk or ride; riding is recommended due to distance to some tee boxes.  Tee times at twin lakes will be a little later than normal (10 or 1030 a.m.) to avoid rush hour traffic.  Peter has also offered that if you wish to play on Friday the 23rd, you will be charged the greens fee at the non-prime Thursday rate versus the prime Friday rate.

If you are not familiar with Twin Lakes you can click here for more info about the course. It’s a nice course and fun to play.  More details to be provided in the sign-ups.

Happy golfing and watch for sign ups, coming out Monday.
