CELEBRATING 23 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA Indianapolis Chapter - American Singles Golf Association March 2015 From the President Hello Everyone, As I'm watching the Pebble Beach Open on television, I'm wishing we were out on the links playing. Some players in short sleeves and some in jackets, it beats heavy coats, gloves, and boots. Got to love it! Just a few more months until we will all be out on the links! Thanks to Linda Simpkins for arranging our fun night at Atomic Duckpin Bowling. Nine of us braved the cold and snow. Fun was had by all! See the pictures below. Our next event is March 21st. Welcome to Don Turner who joined the group on February 18. JoAnne Ratermann has arranged for GolfTEC to help us prepare for the season. I went last year and it is very helpful. Check the Meetup site to sign up. Do so quickly before all the spaces are taken! ~Ann Van Ness Chapter News Fred and Carol visited Panama City for golf and gulf.

Feeling Left Out? Are You Not Receiving the Chapter Emails That Other Chapter Members Are Receiving? (There s a way to fix that.) You have to let your in-box know that an email is coming from any and all of these: MyChapter@SinglesGolf.com Newsletter@SinglesGolf.com Info@SinglesGolf.com GolfASGA@aol.com You do that by adding ALL FOUR (4) email addresses into your email account s address book. ASGA does not control what s allowed in your in-box. You do! A Little Humor... Travel Plans for 2015 I have been in many places, but I've never been in Kahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Kahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my children, friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there. But my really special place to be is in ASGA where I have my friends who accept me as the kind of golfer I am, which geographically, is all over the place!
