MEN’S CLUB PLAY IT FORWARD

Seniors age 80 and over may play any men’s club event from the forward tees (Red).  Also, anyone who’s age plus their handicap totals 100 or more may elect to play from the forward tees. Players wishing to elect this option must notify the Handicap chairperson, Jim Norton, prior to the first tournament in March. Players who qualify after the first tournament due to age plus handicap changes will need to obtain approval of the Handicap Chairman. Any qualified player that does not wish to take this option can continue to play from the back tees. This change has been adopted to make the game more enjoyable for our older players.  Everyone should be able to reach the par 3’s in one, and some of the long holes from the back tees are extremely difficult for our older players.  So, in the interest of fair play, we have adopted this change. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact any officer of the club. If you decide, at any time, that you do not want to continue to play from the forward tees, inform the Handicap Chairman.  You will have to wait until the 1st of the next month due to handicap posting restrictions. We should encourage all of our eligible members to use option.  It will make the game much more enjoyable for them and everyone.
