2 Golf News from Our Head Golf Professional The Dog days came early in July; let s hope for a cooler August!! I would like to take a minute and thank our own Andrew Mills and Mike Pritchett for their efforts with our junior camps. I received many complements on job well done from the parents of the children. Please know that both Andrew and Mike offer great quality golf lessons for all skill levels. For the last few months we have monitoring players posting scores for handicap. Last year, after every month we would audit the tee sheet and look at who played and if they posted and if a scorecard was turned in to match the round posted. Then I would send out an to each person reminding them of what was missing or posting mistakes made. I am happy to say that this year, Joe Eberhard and the committee have done a fantastic job narrowing the margin for errors. I would also like to thank Assistant Professional, Mike Pritchett with the daunting task of auditing the records each month. At our last Handicap Committee meeting it was decided that we would send out notice to all handicap members to reiterate how proper posting works and what is accepted as proper posting procedures. We have decided as a group that the probationary period is over, to allow improper posting. The Handicap Committee will assess penalty scores to those that continue to make posting errors. Handicap Committee Chairman, Joe Eberhard has taken the time to write a great notice on proper posting and how to do it. Please take the time to read his letter, and understand the steps needed for proper posting.

3 Chestatee Golf Club Members: I d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every Member who has been diligent in the score posting process at Chestatee Golf Club. Through periodic review of the score posting system, it has come to the attention of the Handicap Committee that a number of posting violations have occurred in recent months. Following are the requirements relative to posting scores and allowing for proper Handicap Committee and Peer review of those scores: Scorecard List players by First and Last Name Date the scorecard at the bottom right Indicate which tees are being played by each player Total the score of each player on the right side of the card Have the scorecard Signed and Attested TURN THE SCORECARD IN AT THE BOX BY THE ENTRANCE TO THE PRO SHOP (it is every player s responsibility to see that their scorecard is turned in) Posting your score All Home and Away scores must be posted within 48 hours of play and prior to the next revision date in the posting computer located in the Golf Pro Shop or through the GHIN posting system online It is the individual player s responsibility to insure their scores are posted accurately within the prescribed time frame All Home Tournament scores will be posted by the Pro Shop as T scores All Away Tournament scores should be posted as T scores It is not the Committee s intent to penalize Members because of a possible oversight, however, it is the Committee s responsibility to all Members to do whatever we can to encourage respectful adherence to the spirit of the USGA Handicap System. Periodic reviews will continue to assure all Members post their scores in the proper manner within 48 hours of their round of play. Future posting violations may result in a Penalty Posting to your recorded scores as recommended by the USGA Handicap System.
