Greendale Women's Golf Association, Alexandria, Va

Reminder of time change this week, through the end of the season, our tee times will begin at 8:00 a.m.  Those in the first 3 foursomes are expected to arrive no later than 7:30. Everyone else please arrive no later than 8.  PLEASE REMEMBER that you may be moved to an earlier time after you arrive, if other golfers do not show up.

PLEASE SHOW UP if you sign up, unless you have an emergency situation. When you do not show up, it impacts your fellow golfers.  Not only do you take up a slot someone else may have wanted,  if you don’t come, it may also result in a another golfer not having anyone to play with, in which case the tournament chair and the starter are required to deal with moving golfers around.

RAIN? –  if it is raining at your house, it may not be raining at the golf course.  Often the TV weather stations talk about locations not in the vicinity of the golf course.   In the rare case there is a league cancellation for any reason, it will be sent out via email.  If you do not see an email, please come to the golf course.  If you have an emergency that prevents your attendance, either call the pro shop, or the night before call Lucinda’s HOME phone (703/317-0487)  and leave a message; please do not call her cell phone.

Please review these pace of play tips and think about them as you are playing!

Congratulations to Judy Erickson for a hole-in-one today at Lake Presidential Golf Course in Maryland, on hole 4, a 100 yard par 3.   She was playing in an Arlington Seniors foursome with Jane Barnes, Shirley McKinley and Sally Reams.   She quickly attained celebrity status at the golf course.  By hole 10 her achievement was broadcasted to everyone on the course via the GPS screen in each golf cart (photos below).  At hole 14 she was stopped by a photographer, and on hole 17 the marshall wanted to know if she was buying everyone a beer afterwards!   You can send your congratulations to Judy at judyerickson39@gmail.com or get her autograph 🙂 on Thursday at the shotgun luncheon!

Due to the heat wave we’re having, July 18 and 25 tee times will begin at 7:03 instead of 7:30.  If you had a tee time for this Thursday, July 18, you received a separate email this morning from Sally Reams and Lucinda Audey giving you a new time schedule for Thursday.

For July 25 the Sign-Up Genius Tee Sheet will reflect the 7:03 start time.

We will reassess later what to do about August, maybe the forecast will improve!
