Spring is in full swing and the weather
is finally cooperating, bringing many
ladies out to play in league. Our Tuesday
play days have been packed with golfers
and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Our next tournament is one of the
membership’s favorites, the President’s
Cup. It’s such a great time to honor our
past and present league presidents as
well as our club history. The tournament
is scheduled for Monday, May 18 at the
White Wing Golf Course and Tuesday,
May 19 at the Cowan Creek Golf Course.
Our social will follow on Tuesday from
3- 5 p.m. at the Cowan Creek Amenity
Center in the Florence/Georgetown
Room. All league golfers are invited
to attend; check the WGA 18-Hole
chartered club website for details.
The next general membership meeting
is scheduled for June 2 at Cowan Creek
in the Jarrell/Walburg Room at 12:30
p.m. following league play. Our play day
will be a fun, two-person team, Partner’s
Best Ball, with an 8 a.m. shotgun start
at Cowan Creek Golf Course.
Many of our members have been spotted
practicing at our wonderful facilities.
Everyone is encouraged to get out and
play during this sweet season that we call
spring. We have new members joining
every month and welcome all that would
like to join us in this fun league. Please
look at our chartered club website for all
of the details. If you have any questions,
please contact our Membership Chair,
Paula Mockenhaupt, at 512-948-5148 or
email
.
The Couples Golf Association will have
two play days this month.
On May 2 we will be at White Wing for
an 8 a.m. shotgun. This will be a two
couple (four player team) event: Count
the lowest net score on the par-5s, the
two lowest net scores on par-4s and the
three lowest net scores on par-3s.
On May 23, we will have an 8 a.m.
shotgun at Cowan for a one couple (two
player team) event. Front Nine Scramble,
Back Nine Low. On holes one through
nine, post your team’s gross score; on
holes 10 thru 18, post your team’s lowest
net score. Combine these scores for a
total game score.
All CGA members are invited to a
Memorial Day Lunch Social at Cowan
Creek Pavilion on May 23 after the
golf event. If you are a CGA member
and unable to play golf on May 23 but
available for the social in the afternoon,
please go to the CGA website and sign
up for the social part of this fun event.
The CGA offers its members great fun,
competition, camaraderie and socializing.
If you are interested in joining the CGA
details can be found at

Saturdays - come and join us!

Have you noticed how more and more
activities in life require computers,
tablets and smart phones? The MGA
is no different! In late March, the
Spring Member-Member required all
participants to use the MGA’s new
microsite to register for the tournament,
identify a partner and indicate a belt and
shirt size (as part of the tournament’s
tee gifts) - all by simply logging into Sun
City’s new website.
Of course, there were a fair amount of
how-to emails sent to the membership,
home visits by some of our more computer-
literate for support and training, and
calm, collected golfers yelling at their
computers like they had ears!
When all was said and done, 290
members had successfully registered
for the tournament. This jubilation
then quickly turned to another thought:
payment. While a fewmembers used the
“old fashioned” way to pay (i.e. writing
a check), most members decided to
continue with the online adventure and
paid electronically.
With 120 MGA events conducted each
year, the use of electronic registration
and payments is truly improving the
efficiencies and accuracies for each event.
Just like the invigorating feel of a long
putt, there is another good feeling when
one enters the MGA microsite, registers
and pays for an event, then gets that
successful confirmation email. Now it
is time to play golf!
