Couples Golf Association

 

Have you considered joining the Couples Golf Association for 2023? If not, what are you waiting for? The CGA is a social club more than a competitive golf club. Our primary focus is relaxation, fun and friendships. 

 

Saturday, Feb. 11 is the CGA season kickoff dinner in the Social Center Ballroom. Tickets went on sale Monday, Jan. 16. This is always a great event where you will receive lots of valuable information about the upcoming year.

Frost Delays

 

It’s that time of year again when morning temps can create a frost delay. We will continue the procedure we followed last year of maintaining the delay. Players can always call in and take advantage of a tee time that has been cancelled.

Bridges in the Winter Months 

 

Please remember that bridges freeze before the rest of the roads do in freezing weather. The bridges can get slick in the winter months as the temperature can be 36 degrees and still create frost. When driving your golf carts over the bridges, please take it slow and careful.  

Legacy Hills Golf Course Renovation

 

We’re excited to announce that the final phase of the Legacy Hills Golf Course Renovation started last week. They started on hole 13 and hole 9. There will be a mixture of work performed, some will be in play and some work will require the tees to be moved. If your normal tee box does not have tees, please proceed to tees more forward or as directed by signage.

Golf Course Walking

Posting scores to GHIN

 

The minimum number of holes to be completed for a 9-hole score to be posted is 7 holes. The minimum number of holes to be completed for an 18-hole score to be posted is 14 holes. If these minimums are met then players can use, “par plus handicap strokes,” to add holes not played to get a permittable score.

 

Example: A 9-hole player starts on hole 11 and finishes on hole 1 in a shotgun start. A score of, “par plus any handicap strokes,” can be used for hole 10 to gain a permittable score.

 

Please note the 7 holes to be completed must be on the same front or back 9 holes, i.e., if a 9-hole player starts on hole 15 and ends up on hole 4, that is not a permittable score since fewer than 7 holes were completed on either 9 holes.

 

For more clarification, please contact one of the Golf Professional Staff.
