MARK YOUR CALENDARS: May 12 Budget Meeting, 2:00 Home of Elyse Gut A Message from our President, Blaine Foltz Welcome to our 2016 Mountain Niner golf season! The dormant days of winter are drawing to a close, the snow is receding into history, and spring is getting ready to dazzle us with her abundant pallet of color. This is truly my favorite time of the year because it is getting warm and lush, AND it is almost time to play some mountain golf with old and new friends! While many of us have been tending to our winter lives, our 9er Board and Robyn Bradford, our Mountain Course Pro, have been working diligently behind the scenes to make sure that our short and fast-paced 2016 golf season plays out like a scratch game of golf seamlessly and flawlessly. Our season is always action-packed with fun things to enjoy. So, please be sure to keep that 9er Calendar handy so that you don t miss anything (attached). As you will read in this Newsletter, we have several changes/additions coming this season. First is the introduction of Thursday morning tee times (Monday tee times will stay as they were last year). Also of note, we now have an official member-approved Tournament Director, Paula Garavaglia, who has been working to create some fun and educational opportunities for us 9er folks to enjoy. Lastly, we have calendared a Mixie play day since it is such a great way for us to meet with fellow 9ers who we may not have met before. More to come on all of the above, so stay tuned That s enough from me for now. Please enjoy the rest of this Newsletter composed for you by our 9er contributors and your dedicated Newsletter Editor, Nancy Manter.

Handicaps Judy Cabito, Chair The Mountain Niner Golf Club uses the GHIN (Golf Handicap/Index Network) system to create a Handicap/Index for each member, which is our method to even out the playing field. Each player has been or will be assigned a GHIN number and should receive an Index update from revisionupdate@ghin.com every two weeks. If you do not receive an index update, first check your SPAM folder and then contact me at JMCabito@aol.com. I ll try to rectify the situation. New golfers or a golfer not yet into the system will need to play a minimum of ten 9-hole rounds (or five 18-hole rounds, or any combination thereof) in order for GHIN and/or the Club to calculate a golfer s index. The members of the Handicap committee (Judy Cabito, Mary Hubbard and Karen Gabriel) welcome you to the 2016 Season and look forward to greeting you at the Opening Luncheon and Scramble.
