2016 KENWOOD NINERS GOLF PROGRAM The Kenwood Niners are a friendly group of women golfers who play on Thursday mornings. We are eager to welcome new members. We are golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced players, who enjoy the fun and sociability of golf and put less focus on scores and competition. We play only nine holes, which takes less time than a full round and gives us time to enjoy lunch together and get on with our days. Our group provides an enjoyable combination of social, teaching, and competitive events. Membership is open to B, B+, L, W, and YA members. Dues are $20 annually and are billed to your account each year after you join. The 2016 Program includes the following: Back-nine Thursday morning tee times reserved for Niners from 7:30-9:30 a.m. throughout the golf season. Open play days on many Thursdays throughout the season, A variety of friendly formats Thursday mornings once or twice each month. Two evening Nine and Wine nine-hole events sponsored by the Niners and open to all Kenwood women golfers with handicaps. Guests allowed (see below). Six free group practice clinics with a pro at the start of the season, 10:30-11:30 a.m., Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Three trophy events--azalea Bowl, Thompson Four Ball, and Niners Championship. Annual Member/Guest Tournament with great prizes. Opportunities to participate in team play and invitational events at local country clubs through our membership in the Maryland Virginia Team Match Association (MVTMA). Ringers & Putters season-long program of earning prizes for participating while having fun and improving your game. Spring and December Holiday Luncheons. Informal lunches following clinics and Thursday events. Opportunities to meet new people, have fun, learn about golf, and improve your game. NEW NINERS GUEST POLICY for 2016: You may invite up to three non-kenwood women golfers to play with you on all Niner Open Play days and in some Niner golf events. You must pay the entry fee, nine-hole green fee, and cart fee for each guest, and abide by the Club s guest policies including that any local guest may play a maximum of twice each month (the Member Guest event is not included in that count). All clinics, trophy events, Pete s Party, and Beat the Pro are reserved for Niners only, no guests may participate. HANDICAPS Niners are not required to have handicaps, but some of our group s events require a handicap, so it is good to have one. The Golf Shop will show you how to set up a handicap account and post your scores. 2
