A New Year for the Lake Tamarisk Ladies Golf Club by Sandra Howard

Well ladies it is time for a new golf year to begin at Lake Tamarisk. I am looking forward to it and I hope you are too. As your Ladies Club Tournament Chairperson I am hoping to make this a fun season.
By the time you read this the first ladies day will have been played. I hope it was not too hot and that there was a good turnout.

Unfortunately I've missed opening day but thanks to Nancy our President, and the rest of the team we already have the Play of the Day for November and the rest of the year set out.

Again this  year we will all keep a personal scorecard for each ladies day game.  These personal cards are filed at the end of your game in the plastic file box in the CSA hall. Keeping a personal score card for each game takes the pressure off the person keeping the group card. In case the  person keeping the group card misses a hole you have your card to check against and you won't have to guess what happened.  

 As your Tournament Chair I  will be happy to help anyone who has questions about scoring.  For some games you are asked to record your net and/or gross score and for our invitational tournament you should be aware of what popping is all about. You also need to pop your cards if you are playing in match play. I know that many of you understand all this stuff but we have a few newer golfers who have just taken up golf or have never belonged to a ladies club. Knowledge is key, so please ask if you have scoring questions.

For your information, this year Nancy Smith who won The Match Play Tournament last year will be running the Match play tournament. I am sure she would like to have lots of ladies sign up. Please don't be scared of match play it is a fun tournament that is taken somewhat seriously by those who play in it but it is just a golf game like any other. By using handicaps each player is given a level playing field to compete at. If you want to practice  match play challenge someone (me for instance) or your husband to a matchplay game and see how it works. It is one way to see the low handicap players sweat.  

Please arrive on time for Ladies day. Putting the groups together is a time consuming process which is made more difficult when people arrive late. 

As the season progresses I will need help with different activities which will include the club championship, our invitational/open, fun days etc. Please let me know if you have any special interest in helping in any of these tournaments.

A LITTLE JOKE FOR YOU
