WHAT S HAPPENING ON THE GOLF SIDE? CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP is Saturday and Sunday, August 18 & 19. Tee times will start at 8am and the course will open after their rounds are complete. Keeping with tradition, the tournament will be played from the blue and gold tees. However, with the new USGA tournament handicap adjustment rule, players over age 60 will have the option to play from the white and red tees and will be eligible for Net and Senior Champion. FRIDAY NIGHT SCRAMBLES! Most Fridays through September. Show up at the golf shop by 5:00, $3 (cash) per player, the shop will create equitable teams by handicap, play a 9 hole scramble then finish the evening in the restaurant/bar! Ladies and all players older than 70 get to play from the purple tees!! RECIPROCAL GOLF!! We have a list of clubs around the Pacific Northwest who honor a reciprocal agreement with The Dalles Country Club. The list is posted in the golf shop and will be emailed for you to print out. If you want to take advantage of the reciprocal agreement, have the golf shop contact the club you want to play to arrange a time. You will only be charged the cost of a power cart to play. MEMBER GUEST WINNERS!! Congratulations to David Re and guest Doug Ferguson of Arlington, on their one point lead over the field to split $600 plus the extra side money that goes along with winning!!

WHAT S HAPPENING ON THE GOLF SIDE? NEW FAMILY TIME! Beginning Sunday, June 3rd and every Sunday after (with the exception of tournaments), we are encouraging our families to come out and golf, swim and eat!! The course is open for all members, however, after 2:00 on Sunday s, expect families to be on the course enjoying themselves (at a family pace). Make a day out of playing a few holes of golf, swimming in the pool and lunch or dinner (special kid friendly specials) in the restaurant! Bring your favorite family guests! Junior Golf Two junior tournaments sponsored and run by The Oregon Golf Association will be held here at TDCC in place of the last two Tuesday camps. On the 14th is an OGA Sanctioned, 18 hole junior tournament with some of the best junior golfers in the state, including our local talent! On the 21st we will host an Erling Jacobsen Tour event; a non-competitive, 9 hole event for younger golfers just getting into playing on the course. To register your juniors for either of these, go to the Oregon Golf Association website: www.oga.org Improved Course Marking The right side of hole #6/15 was changed from white, out of bounds to a red, lateral hazard. This means if your ball goes beyond the markers, you may play the ball as it lies or drop a ball within 2 club-lengths of where the ball crossed the hazard line adding one penalty stroke. This will speed up play, eliminate the penalty of stroke and distance and give you the opportunity to play the ball if you can find it. Something to think about: because it is not out of bounds, you may not play a provisional ball. (See Rule 27-2) USGA Tournament Handicap Adjustment This is a new USGA rule that was adopted by the PGA and we will use in our tournaments. This makes an allowance for players in senior and super senior divisions to play different tees and still compete in tournaments with an equitable handicap. For example: if the majority of the field plays the white/red tees and a few players play the purple tees, the players playing the purple tees will have adjusted handicaps. This is not the handicap listed on the handicap sheet, it is adjusted beyond that for competition. We will be offering this option for the Club Championship and the Mid Columbia Amateur!

After 2:00pm it is open play. Remember: Wednesday s are days we do take tee times! Dispose of your cigarette and cigar butts in the trash cans after they are completely extinguished!! It does not take much of a spark to start a fire and leaving butts on the course is discourteous to other golfers.
