Christmas Party

Don't forget to sign up for the annual Christmas Party/Luncheon which will be held on Friday, December 19th. We will be collecting donations to our local Food Bank, and/or an Animal humane society, so bring some extra $$ to donate to the charity of your choice (or both!)

DECEMBER 2008 NEWSLETTER

A Note From Our Prez

December already! Only a few weeks left in 2008 and the end of my first year as President. I want to sincerely thank all of you for everything you have done to help me learn how to do this job. It has truly been a fun year but I couldn't have done it without your help!

Moving forward we have some fun golf to look forward to this month. The first Tuesday, December 2nd, is Ace of the Month and your last chance to qualify for Ace of the Year playoffs on December 9th. Don't forget the Christmas Party on the 19th. Our dining room will be decked in Christmas tradition, thanks to Kay, Pam and Sally. We will congratulate Ace of the Year, Player of the Year, Most Improved Player for 2008 and everyone who won birdies and chip-ins during the year. This year Christmas cash donations will go to our local Food Bank and/or Woods Humane Society Animal Shelter.

The December Board meeting kicked off some planning for the 2009 Grape Escape and early planning for the year ahead. I'm looking forward to a great New Year!

Merry Christmas to All!

Maureen

SLO County Women's Tournament

There was a very nice article in the Friday, Nov. 14 Paso Robles Press about the SLO County Women's Tournament, plus an interview with our very own Jayne Donkin, who, by the way, was the very first Champion in 1979, and has played in every tournament since! Amazing.

SLO County Championship Update

News Flash!
As of this writing we now have 53 players for the County Tournament! And, I've had phone calls with more people who want to play! Cool!

NOVEMBER 2008 NEWSLETTER

A Note from Our Prez

November and leaves are turning colors, spicy smells are in the air and it's my favorite month for golf. Our weather is beautiful and it always feels to me like a reprieve both from our hot summer days and the still not too cold days. I know this will change soon so I want to play as much as possible before the scarves and mittens come out of my bag.

November and the clocks get turned back, we get another chance at Ace of the Month, and our SLO County Tournament is November 6 - 7 with rain dates November 13 - 14. Then Thanksgiving and the holidays begin.

See you on the tee!

In the meantime, you may check out PWGA's website: http://www.golfpwga.org/.

Beginning Course Rating Seminar

Hi Ladies,
I have been notified by PWGA that they will be conducting a Beginning Course Rating Seminar next January 21 at Woodcreek Golf Course in Roseville ( I believe that's near Sacramento). More details will follow, but if you are interested, please mark that date on your calendar.

For now, I'm planning on going.

Battle of the Sexes - September 26

It seems that the guys won 9 to 7. We'll get 'em next year!

October Newsletter

We're trying something new - no separate email newsletter - everything will be on the blog. There will be paper copies in the pro shop as well for those who don't have computers.

OCTOBER 2008 NEWSLETTER

A Note from Our Prez

October opens the door to cooler weather (YEAH) and the beginning of a beautiful color change in Paso Robles. It also brings us to the 80's Ladies Tournament on October 21st. The sign-up sheet for this event will be at the check-in desk in the Pro Shop beginning October 7th. As a reminder, 80's ladies, please do not sign up on the regular sign-up sheet for that Tuesday. Your $3 game fee will be in a separate pot for this tournament's award money. You will, however, be eligible for Closest to the Pin in the regular game if you want to participate. I have selected a fun format for this tournament and planned lots of treats. Don't miss out on your special tournament!

You 2009 Club membership dues ($65) should be submitted to Jean Hayward by mid-November.

We will have course raters at Paso Robles October 17th. They will be re-certifying our course rating and, if necessary due to course changes (tree removals, etc.), making necessary amendments. These raters will not be looking at our handicap allocation. Once we have been re-rated, we will make any necessary changes to our hole-by-hole handicap allocation.

The deadline for the County Championship sign-up is October 31st. Our Club participation is important this year since we are the hosts. Clare Shaffer and Jean Hayward, along with the entire committee are working very hard to make our Club proud and appreciate any and all support from our membership!

Please remember to read the Board's proposed By-Law amendment posted on the bulletin board in the Pro Shop. You will remember my discussion regarding the importance of this By-Law change at our General Meeting and Elections September 2nd. We will be voting as a Club on this at the next General Meeting October 28th. By the way, don't forget to sign up for the luncheon on the 28th - sign up sheet is on the board.

Get well wishes to Jayne Donkin. We miss you Jayne, but hear you're back to playing bridge, so we're hopeful it won't be too much longer before we see you on the course again. And ditto to Cyndi Bergin, much missed VP sidekick. Come back soon. I promise to do the "heavy lifting".

See you on the Tee!

Maureen

Change to Pacific Women's Golf Association by Clare Shaffer

As you all know, we will be changing to the Pacific Women's Golf Association on January 1, 2009. Jean Hayward and I are already strategizing on how to convert everyone's handicap index to the GHIN system. Those of you who already have a GHIN number by virtue of being a member of the Roving Rascals and/or Hunter Ranch will keep that handicap. We won't be converting your PubLinks handicap since you already have one on the GHIN system. As a result, in order for your GHIN handicap to be accurate, you must continue to post your scores to the GHIN system every time you play. I've compared everyone's GHIN handicap to PubLinks and they are acceptably comparable with just a few exceptions. So however manner you're getting your scores to the GHIN system, keep on doing it. If you have any questions, please talk to me or Jean Hayward.
