Tournament Results Congratulations to this Year s Match Play Champions: Men s Champion- Ryan Shaw def. Dick Shaw Women Champion- Kit Graves def. Judy Whaley Rules Question: Keegan Bradley in route to his first major championship at the PGA last month, hit his second shot on the par 3, 15 th hole into the water, on the opposite side of the green from where he was hitting. The hazard was marked with a yellow line, indicating that the pond was to be played as a water hazard. What were his four options for his next stroke? Hint, one of his options was impossible and another is the option he elected, thanks to the tournament committee. Answer located on the next page..
6 Answers from Previous Page: Option #1 play the ball as it lies (impossible due to the depth of the water hazard). Pro Shop FREE Junior Clinics Option #2 drop as closely as possible to where he last played from. Option #3 drop on the opposite side of the hazard, keeping the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard in between himself and the hole. Option #4 drop in the indicated drop zone provided by the tournament committee (this is the option he elected). starting Monday, August 22 nd we will host a junior clinic at 4 pm. Available for all juniors under the age of 13. The Clinic will last approximately 1 HOUR and will include on course play with an instructor. And parents, we also encourage you to stay and participate in the clinic as well. Please contact the pro shop for any questions or to sign-up Note from the LGA Now that Fall is almost here, let's hope the hot summer days slowly give way to cool breezes & pleasant days! I can dream, can't I? The LGA gals continued to show up on Wednesdays the past 2 months... and a great time was had by all! Once again, Martha & Steve hosted a luncheon & pool party for us and we thank you. We also surprised Sally with a great turn-out luncheon for her (no year mentioned) birthday! The Calga results at Pine Forest in July were: Martha-2nd L.G., Suzanne-2nd L.N., and Kit-3rd L.N. in the 2nd Flight. Peggy Brinson was 1st L.G. in the 3rd Flight. At Rivertowne in August, we had the following winners: 2nd Flight: Martha-1st L.N. & Terri-2nd L.G., 3rd Flight: Suzanne- 3rd L.n., & 5th Flight- Mary Symuleski-3rd L.N. Judy D'Ambrosio has kept the 9-holers informed and playing each week...and they have added 2 additional gals to the group. This month we will have a joint Captain's Choice Event with both groups to promote continued fellowship! We welcome any new neighbors to come out and join either the 9 or 18 hole group...wednesday morning! And that's that! Judy

There is a flyer located at the handicap computer to help golfers identify which tees they should play. Most people already know that we have 3 sets of tees (blue, white and green), but many are unaware that we also offer 3 blended tee options (blue/white, green/white and green/gold) for golfers to play, as well. Scorecards are available in the proshop to provide tee and handicap information. We have also re-implemented family tees throughout the course. You will see these markers (Gold and Red) located in the fairway to provide adequate starting points for juniors and beginners, as well as for families to come out and play together. During Twilight Play (after 3pm), we will also allow juniors under the age of 16 to play for FREE when accompanied by a paying adult. Family tee scorecards are also available in the proshop.
