Message from the Vice President: No report for now. See you on the course.
Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer. Golf dates: Spring:
Our sports captain has already booked tee times in June so our members have a chance to warm up for league play. The first date is June 13th, 2017 at 9:00 am.
Our sign-up sheets for these games are now on-line on our website under "TEE TIMES". See sign-up directions below.
June games are regular stroke play and will not count towards team prizes. However, as these games are played with the lovely Falcon Ladies League members, all chip-INS and birdies can be included on the appropriate sheet located in the Ladies Locker Room.
There is a possibility that the greens will be aerated on a Tuesday this spring. In this event, golf tee times will be at 12:06 and 12:14 for that day only.
Summer: Summer tee times begin on Tuesday, July 4th, 2017 and continue each Tuesday in July and August. Please note: At the August, 2016 meeting, the group voted to start the summer t-times at 8:30
AM. This is a change from last year.
Use the on-line sign up system to book. See directions immediately below
Fall dates: Tee times will be on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM. Sign up at the pro-shop.

Secretary Report• The most recent email and phone list was completed in April, 2017 and is attached to this newsletter. Please review and email revisions to Janet Potter ([email protected]) A.S.A.P. The next updated list will come in July after the fee payment deadline. • Please delete all prior phone lists and save/refer to the April/17 list.
• Suggestion: o In an effort to save paper, please bring a copy of the minutes to the luncheon meetings. A limited
number of copies will be available at the meeting. Secretary to copy and post minutes on bulletin board in the ladies’ locker room at the golf course
for the benefit of those without computers at the lake.
An interesting thing about Golf is that no matter how badly you play, it is always possible to get worse.
The sports captains will arrange to have a variety of mini tournaments each week. Information will be posted on the bulletin board in the ladies’ locker room.
All teams are required to put their scorecard in the green box (located on the information board in the ladies’ locker room) after each game. Be sure to include the date as well as the name of each person in the group.
Don’t forget to add your birdies and chip shots to the Chip/Birdie sheet in the clubhouse (include putts off the green). You never know - a prize could be waiting for you at the August luncheon!!!!
Ringer board: Sports captains will hang a ringer board on the information board in the ladies’ locker room. Directions will be clearly displayed above the ringer board. Members are asked to record their scores on the board each time they play AT FALCON LAKE. The purpose is to track improvement over the course of the season. There will be a prize for the most improved player. Please check it out. You could be the lucky winner!!!!
Members are encouraged to keep a handicap. If you would like your scores entered into the computer system but don’t have access to a computer at the lake, talk to Evelyn at the pro-shop and she will enter them in for you. (Evelyn, is this true???)
Remember the Golden Rule: Encourage each member of your group to keep up with the group ahead. Remember, a good pace of play equates to a higher degree of golf enjoyment for everyone. As a general rule of thumb, a typical game should take approximately 4 hours or faster. Never lose sight of the group ahead of you. If you can’t see the group ahead of you when you are on the tee, you need to speed up e.g. pick up your ball.
