After the Thaw
It's great to see all of you back out on the courses playing and hopefully playing well. We are excited to be open and hope everyone made it through the storm well.
We did have severe damage to both the Cowan Creek and White Wing golf shops due to the freezing temperatures and those shops will be closed until further notice.
We are in the process now of repairing and restoring operations to those golf shops. During that process we will have to make adjustments to the operation, but those adjustments will have little affect on the golfing residents. We are hopeful that the golf course has faired well through the storm as seen by the soil temperature readings from the greens throughout the freeze. Please take a look at the follow-up video showing the importance of the Greens Covers. You can see the clear definition of the area covered during the unprecedented storm we all just went through.
MGA Spring Member-Member
Registration is now open for the first major MGA event of the year! Registration is done through the ticketing system, but you need to make sure you have paid your 2021 MGA dues first.
Please click here for details regarding this tremendously popular event!
Accessing GHIN
The GHIN System now requires a unique email address for each golfer to be able to login to the GHIN.com handicap system. Most golfers currently in the system have an email included in their profile but if you don't, you'll need to contact Erik Beyer at Legacy Hills,[email protected] or call 512-948-7563. The new requirements also involve golfers creating a password to login. The steps to accomplish this are as follows:
Type in your GHIN number or email address, leave the password blank
Click on the "Forgot Password" link at the bottom of the page
Follow the instructions to obtain a link that will be emailed to you so that you can set up a password.
Starter Huts Completed
The Starter Huts have been completed and we are waiting on the front sliding windows. We will keep you notified with details about when we will begin the check in process at these new structures.
