Spirit Teams

We are having wine teams again this year.  We are calling them the spirit teams this year as we either get a $20.00 GC from the liquor store or give your captains $20.00.

We are having the usual Achievement rewards- KP-birdies- chip ins as well as attending tournaments. This year we have added some fun achievements weekly so everyone will be able to score for their team. Ie: hitting a tree, 4 putts on the same green, 3 shots in one bunker. There are 3 dress up nights this year as well.  May 1^st is a social night Cinco De Mayo, come dressed in many colours to celebrate. June 26^th is to celebrate Canada Day so wear red and white. August 21^st is Vintage Night and vintage clothes are to be worn.

 There will be a sign- up sheet at the banquet. If you wish to sign up before please send your name, your handicap as of last year and your email address to: Willene willenemcd@shaw.ca

 

Interclub

We are the host for this year for Interclub. Linda Aviss is our sponsor. The games are scheduled Friday afternoon  June 1^st Aspen, Friday afternoon  June 8^th Aberdeen and Saturday June 9^th at 11:30am. This might be the last year our club will participate as it has been very difficult getting the 12 players we need to compete.

 Please email Willene willenemcd@shaw.ca if you would like to play. Please include your name, handicap from last year and your email address.

Christmas Lunch

How often should I play to, or beat, my handicap?

If it’s accurate, you should average about three shots above your handicap. For example, a player with a course handicap of 16 on a course with a rating of 71.1 should score on average about 90. The handicap system is based on 96 percent of the best 10 of a golfer’s last 20 rounds, not simply average score.

Scores normally fit into the classic bell-shaped curve. More than half of your scores should be within three strokes of three over your handicap. In other words, taking our 16-handicapper, more than half of the rounds should be between 87 and 93. The player will better the handicap — shooting 87 or lower — only about 20 percent of the time, or once every five rounds. Golfers should only beat their handicap by three strokes one out of every 20 rounds.
