Play Day, 3/23/2010 (Frances)

The game was called “Criers”, but darned if I can figure out why… You get to throw out your worst three holes and take a “Par”! Should be called “Cheers”!

We had 14 ladies play and the winners were:

Tied for 3rd place ($1.25pp) with a net score of 66:

· Jeanne Zwemer, Dana Wardstrom, Kay Gschwend and Marti Fowler

Second Place ($7.00) with a net score of 64: Liz Lord

First Place ($9.00) with a net score of 63: Joanne Smith

Congratulations Ladies!!!

Additional Honors:
Chip-ins ($2.25pp)
· Nancy Lencioni, Hole #10

Closest to the Pin ($4.25pp):

· Hole #7 Jan McCleery 10’2” and Cam Donald 10’6”

Well Done! Hope to see a good turnout Tuesday, March 30th for Guest Day!

Smart Phones

Smart Phones as Distance Measuring Devices:

Although WGANC Local Rules prohibit the use of cellular phones except in emergencies, many smart phone devices now include distance measuring applications for golf. The use of a smart phone with this application is allowed with all of the same provisions of our Local Rule for distance measuring devices; that is, the phone must not contain any other applications that might affect her play. Examples of prohibited applications include those that provide a compass, altimeter (elevation), or temperature.

The IPhone model 3GS comes with a built-in compass application that cannot be de-installed; therefore, use of the 3GS as a distance measuring device is prohibited.

The IPhone model 3G does not come with any prohibited applications; therefore, as long as the player has not added prohibited applications, it may be used under our local rule. It is the player’s responsibility to ensure her device conforms to our local rule.

The cell phone feature of these smart phones must not be used except in emergencies. It goes without saying that if using a smart phone as a distance measuring device, the ring tone should be set to Silent.

Saturday Play Days (Frances)

At today’s General Membership meeting, the membership authorized the Tournament Committee to add four “Saturday Play Days” to our 2010 Play Day Schedule. All ladies in the 18-hole DBWGC are encouraged to participate, especially those of you who work and cannot regularly make Tuesday Play Days. These play days will count towards qualifying for tournament play and team play. They will be conducted like any “Tuesday” play day and will be played on Saturdays that the Pro Shop has already designated for “shotgun” starts. The DBWGC Saturday Play Days are: June 5, July 10, August 21 and September 11. If these turn out to be popular, there are two more Saturdays (9/18 and 11/13) that we can look at adding later.

Happy Golfing…
