Greetings! In spite of the HOT weather, we had 35 ladies come out and play this week's "Blind Draw". We had some interesting pairings this year. Thanks, Tori, for blindly drawing our pairings. You can see who your Blind Partner was at the end of this post.
Unfortunately the Closest to the Hole placards got lost this week. Sun Hills gives it's sincerest apologies. :(

NATIVE GRASS
Hi Ladies,
This year the native grass at Sun Hills seems to be on a record growing pace. Therefore, the Board is going to implement the "On Course Hazard" rule that we have done several times in the past.
In the future, if you hit a ball into the native grass, whether from the tee or fairway, please hit a provisional ball from that spot. Then proceed to where your ball went into the native grass and look for your ball. If you find your ball, under a one stroke penalty, you will take a drop out of the native grass as if it was marked with red stakes.
If, after 5 minutes, you can't find your ball, your provisional ball will become the ball in play so you won't have to go back to the previous spot to re-hit.
This will hopefully lessen the frustration and keep the pace of play flowing!
Thanks for your help in keeping our league the best!

PACE OF PLAY "WHILE WE'RE STILL YOUNG"!
Greetings Sun Hills Ladies!
Every so often we will post USGA info on the BLOG to help remind us of our responsibility as golfers.
This past Wednesday Judi and I (Dodie) were playing league as a twosome. There was a league threesome in front of us and we caught up to them on the 5th hole. After they holed out on 5, they went to the 6th tee box and waited for Judi and I to finish 5 and invited us to play through since our pace was faster than theirs. Their consideration was greatly appreciated!
This got me to thinking that "Pace of Play" would be a good topic to address from the USGA's Etiquette 101 page. http://www.usga.org/etiquette/tips/Golf-Etiquette-101/
Play at Good Pace and Keep Up
"It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of the number of players in that group."
Be Ready to Play
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When playing on or near the putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in such a position as will enable quick movement off the green and towards the next tee. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.
Lost Ball
If a player believes his ball may be lost outside a water hazard or is out of bounds, to save time, he should play a provisional ball.
Players searching for a ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found.
They should not search for five minutes before doing so. Having allowed the group behind to play through, they should not continue play until that group has passed and is out of range.
USGA is promoting Pace of Play this year. If you watch golf on television, you will see their commercials addressing topics that we can all benefit from. The slogan is "WHILE WE'RE STILL YOUNG".
Ladies, THANKS for your help in keeping Sun Hills Ladies the BEST league ever!!!

MEMBER/GUEST SCRAMBLE
Just one more push for Member/Guest sign-up. The deadline is this coming Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Since we are serving dinner, it's important to have an accurate count.
Remember, even though we encourage you to do so, you don't need to bring a guest to still play on the 19th. It's a 2 WOMAN SCRAMBLE. You can play with another member if you want.
It is a 5:30 shotgun start. Please be early!!!

GIFT CARDS
Hi there!
This week when you come to play, the Target cards for winnings through May will be waiting.
Just a reminder...Since Target does not sell gift cards for under $5, if your winnings don't total at least $5 we have to let them stay on the books until they reach that magic number. This is the one disadvantage of having Target cards rather that Pro Shop money.
If you have any questions regarding your total winnings, you can check out the weekly posts on our bulletin board or here on the BLOG. You can also email Karen.
See you all on Wednesday for LOW NET!!!!

DOTS & PUTTS - May 29, 2013
Greetings Ladies, This past week was just kind of so-so again. We only had 26 ladies come out and try the new POD, "Dots and Putts". We thank you brave souls who came out and played. As a result of the low turnout, we were only able to have 3 flights again.
Next week our POD is scheduled to be LOW GROSS. However, since all of our members have an established handicap, we are going to play LOW NET. The weather is supposed to be absolutely fantastic, so let's have all 59 of our members come out and celebrate the first POD of June!!!
Congrats to the DOTS & PUTTS winners!!!!

A Rugged Outdoor Woman
During her physical
examination, a doctor asked a retired woman about her physical activity level.
The woman said she spent 3 days a week, every week in the outdoors.
"Well,
yesterday afternoon was typical; I took a five hour walk about 7 miles through
some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way
through 2 miles of brambles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I barely
avoided stepping on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I went to the
bathroom behind some big trees. I ran away from an irate mother bear and then
ran away from one angry bull Elk. The mental stress of it all left me
shattered. At the end of it all I drank a scotch and three glasses of
wine.
Amazed by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoor woman!"
"No,"
the woman replied, "I'm just a really, really shitty golfer".
THANKS, MONA!!!
