WEDNESDAY PLAY DAY
Check
the date and game in the ladies lounge and circle your name by Sunday a.m. to sign up for Wednesday play. Check the outside bulletin board on Monday p.m. for your playing partners and starting hole. All regular Wednesday games have an 8 a.m. shotgun start unless otherwise noted. Meet at the staging area west of the pro shop (toward the practice range) by 7:40 and line up with
your team.
Pay
at the staging area: $3 for the game and (optional games) $1 each for skins and
closest to the pin. Prize money and closest to the pin winnings are put “on
the books” to be spent in the pro shop. Skins are paid out in cash.
BIRDIES
On
Wednesday, during league play, circle any birdies made on your score card. If
this is your first birdie as a member of the PLGA, you will receive a birdie pin at the awards ceremony after the Closing
Scramble luncheon in April. The player with the most birdies for the season receives
an award. Wednesday eagles receive a pin also.
HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB
A
$5 check payable to PLGA and turned in to the Pro Shop makes you a member. Any
day you make a hole in one on Otter Creek (with witnesses) you receive a dollar for each paid up member of the club. Check the lounge bulletin board to see if you owe another $5.
PLGA RINGERS CLUB
"Ringers" refers to each member's
personal best score over the span of the year. Each member's score is recorded from May1 through April
30. The initial round of the season is the base score for that individual. Any time a better score for a
hole is recorded, that score replaces the previous score for that hole. By the end of the season, a member's final ringers
score will reflect that's member's best score for each of the 18 holes and consequently their best composite score.
All PLGA members are eligible to participate in a Ringers Club competition. The fee is $5 for the year.
The competition is flighted. Scores included for the competition begin when that member pays the $5 through the
remainder of the season (not retroactive). Payouts are at the end of the season.
2 CLUB
Buy
a $5 “2” pin from Linda Dorsey, and display it on your shirt, hat, bag, or whatever. When you make a 2 on any hole, other members of the club playing with you will pay you $1 each. Of course, you will owe a dollar to any member who makes a 2 while you are playing with them.
