LIMEKILN GOLF CLUB
2008 SEASON
SATURDAY, 5/3 & SUNDAY, 5/4
WE HAD ANOTHER ROTTEN WEEKEND WEATHER WISE. IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THE SUNDAY PLAYERS CAN GET A BREAK. THE RESULTS OF THE $2 TOURNAMENT ARE ATTACHED. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A GREAT WEATHER WEEKEND FOR A CHANGE.
I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS ON THE WEEKEND MEMBER $2 TOURNAMENT, SO FOR THE NEW MEMBERS, AND THE OLD MEMBERS WHO FORGET EASILY, HERE’S THE DEAL. THE STARTERS COLLECT $2 FROM EVERY MEMBERS AT THE FIRST TEE ON BOTH SATURDAY, & SUNDAY MORNING. GIFT CERTIFICATE ARE AWARDED FOR LOW GROSS, SEVERAL LOW NETS (FULL HANDICAP), AND CLOSEST TO THE PINS ON ALL PAR THREES. GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE GIVEN OUT AT THE FIRST TEE, TO THE WINNERS, ON THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. THE GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE FOR GOLF SHOP MERCHANDISE ONLY. THE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TOURNAMENTS ARE SEPARATE. THE SUNDAY MORNING TOURNAMENT HAS MORE MEMBERS PLAYING, SO THERE’S MORE MONEY DISTRIBUTED. EVERY WEEK, A FEW BUCKS ARE RAKED OUT OF THE POOL, AND PRIZE (SET OF CLUBS, DRIVER ECT.), IS RAFFLED OFF DURING THE BIG HOLIDAY TOURNAMENTS. THAT WAY, EVEN IF YOU NEVER SHOOT A LOW SCORE, OR NEVER HIT IT CLOSE ON A PAR THREE, YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN SOMETHING.
THE PHILLIES TICKETS WENT LIKE GANGBUSTERS. ON ALL THREE DAYS, THE ALLOTED TICKETS WERE GONE BY 7:15AM. I’M SORRY IF YOU WERE DISSAPOINTED IN NOT GETTING TICKETS, BUT I TRIED TO BE AS FAIR AS I COULD.
A EQUALLY GREAT RESPONSE WAS TO THE WOUNDEDWARRIORPROJECT.ORG, PRO V1, BIRDIES FOR CHARITY PROGRAM. I HOPE THE ENTRY FORM FOR THE CHARITY IS NOT TOO CONFUSING. USE THE ENVELOPE I PROVIDED, AND SENT YOUR PLEDGE IN THAT ENVELOPE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT, JOHN FERNANDEZ IS SCHDULED TO BE ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS, TUESDAY, APRIL 29TH, DURING THE 6:30PM EVENING NEWS BROADCAST. JOHN IS A CO-WORKER OF MY SON CHRIS, AND ALSO WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE WEST POINT LACROSSE TEAM CHRIS’ SOPHOMORE YEAR. JOHN LOST BOTH FEET IN A ROCKET ATTACK IN 2003 WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY IN IRAQ. HE’S MADE A REMARKABLE RECOVERY, AND NOW WORKS FOR WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT, HELPING OTHER WHO SUFFERED A SIMILAR INJURY. HOPEFULLY, JOHN’S STORY WILL GET ON TUESDAY NIGHT (IT GOT BUMPED MONDAY). IF IT GETS BUMPED AGAIN, IT WILL BE ON EVENTUALLY.
I’M OUT OF PRO V1’S, BUT I STILL HAVE SOME BIRDIES FOR CHARITY BROCHURES. I PACKAGED SOME PRECEPT LADDIE BALLS, AND WILL SELL THEM FOR $5 THIS WEEKEND FOR THOSE WHO MISSED LAST WEEK DUE TO THE WEATHER. IT’S NOT AS SEXY AS THE PRO V1’S, BUT $5 IS STILL A GOOD DEAL FOR A SLEEVE OF BALLS.
WEEKEND STARTING TIMES WILL REVERT TO THE EARLY TIMES ON THE WEEKEND OF MAY 17TH & MAY 18TH. THE NEXT TWO WEEKENDS, THE FIRST WEEKEND TEE TIME WILL REMAIN AT 7:00 AM. STARTING MAY 17TH, THE FIRST TEE TIME WILL BE 6:45, AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL OCTOBER.
THE BLUE TEES WILL MAKE THEIR DEBUT THIS WEEKEND. WE DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WEEKEND GROUPS PLAYING THE BLUE TEES, AS LONG AS THEY CAN MAINTAIN THEIR PACE OF PLAY. FOR THE $2 WEEKEND MEMBERS TOURNAMENT, THE WHITE TEES ARE CONSIDERED THE NORM. YOU CAN PLAY THE BLUE’S, BUT YOU’LL MAKE IT HARDER ON YOURSELF.
ALSO, FOR SENIORS. PLAYERS 55 AND OVER, WHO MAINTAIN A HANDICAP OF 24 AND OVER ARE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY THE YELLOW TEES IN ALL LIMEKILN TOURNAMENTS
PLAYERS 65 AND OVER, WHO MAINTAIN A HANDICAP OF 18 AND OVER, ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR THE YELLOW TEES.
YOU CAN PLAY ANY TEES YOU WANT, BUT WE’LL ACCEPT SCORES IN LIMEKILN TOURNAMENTS FROM THE YELLOW TEES, IF YOU MEET THE CRITERIA.
SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND.
