7 TM TM The most important shot in golf is the next one. - - Ben Hogan American Singles Golf Association October, 2017 Current and Past Issues at SinglesGolf.com/TheNextShot Multi-Chapter Invitationals are about great memories, renewing acquaintances and meeting friends you never thought you had.

8 ... Continued from previous page American Singles Golf Association October, 2017 SinglesGolf.com/TheNextShot Will You Serve on your Board Next Year? It s an annual thing. Each chapter, whether you know it or not, is led by people, a/k/a volunteers, who take their time and make life nice for you. Each chapter has bylaws ( and is required to elect a new chapter president each year and committee chair positions (golf, social, membership and communications). Other positions are appointed, e.g. secretary and treasurer. After everything s in place, your chapter should look like this: These people comprise your who is ultimately responsible for making sure things run right to assure more fun, fellowship and fairways. Your chapter s bylaws require you to 1) set-up a Nomination s Committee to seek individuals to serve in the various committees, 2) have an election in October for a new chapter president and 3) have an election in November for the four (4) committee heads (golf, social, membership and communications). All new officers take office on January 1. If you re interested in serving on the Board of your chapter, please don t hesitate to speak up and become part of the decision-making process. Contact your current leaders. As always, your service to your chapter is much appreciated. Terms are for one year only but it can be a life changing event in your life. Become a leader or support your newly elected chapter leaders. A job description for each position can be located at the following links: It s been said many times that the Number One job of a chapter president is to delegate to each of the four committee chairs. If a president does it all, next year, then there s a good chance no one will want to serve in that position the following year. Now is the time to start thinking about next year. Now is the time for all good members to come to the aid of their chapter. Seriously, folks, lend a hand and step up to the plate!

Tauck, a 92-year-old company that started providing tours to parts of America and Canada many people had never seen, has helped ASGA plan this trip with a promise our members will thoroughly enjoy from private tours of small and historic French towns along the Seine River to the beauty of the MS Swiss Sapphire ship itself, the professionalism of the Tauck staff, to the highly acclaimed food that will be prepared for us each evening. Having taken this itinerary as a site visit in October of last year, I can personally attest to the great first class value. ASGA has special pricing. We never pay what the public pays for our multi-chapter events, whether on the mainland or overseas. (We re not allowed to actually tell you price difference, but if you go to the website and click on the COST tab, you ll see for yourself.) Our itinerary is to visit the historic monuments in Rouen, the English Channel villages of Etretat and Honfleur, Jumieges Abbey, one of the great Benedictines of France, Chateau Gaillard, Claude Monet s home and a lot more. At our halfway point on the cruise, we ll visit the D-Day beaches of Normandy.
