Handicap Posting

Here's the latest from the Handicap Chairman, Walker Martain
Posting Scores When Traveling to Sunbelt States During the Off-Season

Although local scores are not valid to your official handicap after December 1, you are under obligation per the USGA Handicap System, and your club to post rounds played in year-round golf associations if you travel throughout the winter. This is crucial to maintaining accurate handicaps and promoting fair play. To do our part, E-Z Links will provide off-season updates to your Handicap Indexes on January 1 and February 1 (and also on the 15th of each month beginning in 2012).
Many associations are members of the IGN (INTERNATIONAL GOLF NETWORK) which makes it easy to post where you play. Look for “Guest Score Posting”, when posting at an away course computer. If you are unable to post at your winter site, you may either bring your scorecards home for posting, or E-Z Links allows Internet Score Posting, set up an account on Okigolf.com to easily post your scores.
PLEASE HELP YOUR CLUB, AND YOUR HANDICAP COMITTEE KEEP HANDICAPS ACCURATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BY POSTING ALL LEGAL ROUNDS, NO MATTER WHERE YOU PLAY, AND ENCOURAGE YOUR PLAYING PARTNERS TO DO THE SAMStarting March 1, 2012 all scores must be posted as the official handicap season starts on that date.
All Harbour Pointe men’s club tournaments will be using updated indexes as of March 1.

He's been with Okis' Corp for about 12 years, with his last job being director of golf at Washington National. When you're in the pro shop, stop in and say hi. Next, its Mens' Club renewal time, so the next time you play in a club tournament or at the course get signed up. There will be a cut off day down the road, where you can't keep tournament money on the books if you have not renewed your membership.We've had three scheduled tourneys so far this year and your support for the 50/50 raffle has really been great so far, with $715.00 in the hole 'n one pot. We,re also sharing the love each time depending on the pot size for the day. Last tournament there were three winners for $40 ea. Jim MacDonald, Don Robinson,& Wally Nagel. Friday the 17th is the next tourney, 5 Man Par 3, 12:30 shot gun. It 'll be 1 gross and two net, with good weather predicted, lets get signed up.

FYI Please Read

Morning Boys,here's a few things you need to read about. First, this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, so accordingly there will be a Super Bowl Tournament with a 9:30 AM shot gun start. It will be a 2 man best ball using football points for score. The weather looks really good for Sunday, so come out and play and watch the game afterwards in the bar. Last weeks winner of half the 50/50 pot was Steve the Man Moreno. A foot note on the 50/50 pot, we're going to start sharing the love on the winner side, depending on how big the pot is each week. There could be one,two or three winners each tournament, so come aboard and buy your raffle tickets and share in the love. I'd like to remind all members, that we're holding a going away get together for John Crots, on Wed. Feb. 8th ,with a Spanky's draw tournament, 11:00 AM shot gun. Finally I'd like to encourage you guys to sign up for the Harbour Pointe Cup, which starts April 8th. This is match play, with set play dates. Call the shop or sign up the next time you're there.
