Hello Sun Hills Ladies!
Our Closing Social is just around the corner. This year it is absolutely vital that you sign up so we can have an accurate count of attendees. Why you ask? That's easy...it is going to be catered this year! Vicki, Tracy and Marie did so well with the food budget this year, that along with our sponsor donations, we have enough in the league account to have it catered.
One of our major sponsors, Island Buffalo Grill will be preparing us a delicious meal of:
Roast Pork Tenderloin w/ Mushroom Gravy
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Tossed Salad
Asiago Cheese Rolls
Eclair Cake
So please, if you plan on attending and have NOT signed up, please email Dodie TODAY!!! That's Sunday, September 29, 2013. It is the FINAL day we can get meals ordered!!!
We hope to see you all there!!!

CRIERS & WHINERS
Greetings Ladies!
The POD for Wednesday, September 18 is called "CRIERS & WHINERS".
Criers and Whiners is a game of do-overs, or mulligans, that can be used from any point on the golf course. In Criers and Whiners, handicaps are converted into free shots that are used during the round.
The POD for Wednesday, September 18 is called "CRIERS & WHINERS".
Criers and Whiners is a game of do-overs, or mulligans, that can be used from any point on the golf course. In Criers and Whiners, handicaps are converted into free shots that are used during the round.
Say a player has a handicap of 20. Rather than using the player's full handicap, the game will be played with two-thirds of the player's 9 hole
handicap. That encourages the player to be judicious in using his replay strokes. For the 20 handicap, the player will be given 6 free shots to use at any point on
the course, at any time during the round. Hit a bad shot off the second tee?
Hit it again. Now you have 5 left.
Two other conditions apply: The first tee shot
of the day may not be replayed, and no shot can be replayed twice.
Your Criers and Whiners free shot quota will be available at the check-in desk. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO GET THEM BEFORE YOU START TO PLAY. Please note on your scorecard when you use your do-overs so you don't lose track of them!
We hope you have fun with this POD!!!!
RED, WHITE & BLUE - September 11, 2013
Hello Ladies! This past Wednesday the POD was Red, White & Blue. We had a particularly up and down day, weatherwise and decisionwise.
There was a point in the afternoon that it looked as if there were only 6 ladies that were playing. That was after we checked with Sun Hills' starter as to whether there were any ladies on the course or on the books for a tee time. At that point, Cara, Kathy, Kelly and Kim arrived were told to just play a normal round and don't worry about the POD.
Later that night we discovered that there were, indeed, 4 ladies on the course playing Red, White and Blue. Also, 2 others, Jeannine and Jill, who showed up to play and were told to just play regular golf.
At that point the decision was made to have the POD since 10 ladies had paid and played. We want to give our sincerest apologies to Cara, Jeannine, Jill, Kathy, Kelly and Kim for the mix-up and taking away their chance to do the POD. In the future, there will be an exact procedure we follow when considering cancelling POD's.
So, now, congrats to the ladies who Red, White and Blued it to the Winners Circle!!!

THE LAWS OF GOLF
LAW 1:
No matter how bad your last shot was, you should have Inner Peace knowing that a shittier one is yet to come. This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.
LAW 2:
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.
LAW 3:
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water. Expensive clubs have been known to be partly made with this most unusual natural alloy.
LAW 4:
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the tree is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.
LAW 5:
The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.
LAW 6:
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent -- or some similar combination.
LAW 7:
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. Your Mother in Law does not come close.
LAW 8:
Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into the water. See LAW 3.
LAW 9:
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.
LAW 10:
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.
LAW 11:
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.
LAW 12:
Since bad shots come in groups of three, your fourth consecutive bad shot is really the beginning of the next group of three.
LAW 13:
If it isn't broke, try changing your grip.
LAW 14:
It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 8.
LAW 15:
Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
LAW 16:
Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
LAW 17:
It's not a gimme if you're still 4 feet away.
LAW 18:
The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
LAW 19:
You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time.
LAW 20:
Every Time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make a double or triple bogey to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
LAW 21:
If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to use it to lay up just short of a water hazard.
LAW 22:
There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.
LAW 23:
A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.
LAW 24:
Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

2nd MYSTERY PLAY
Hello Sun Hills Ladies,
For our second Mystery Play we are going to try a different version of the RED, WHITE & BLUE game. This time, rather than us telling you which hole to hit from the RED, WHITE or BLUE tee box, you get to make that decision.
This way you will be able to play to your strengths to even the playing field. You will just need to play 3 holes each from the RED, WHITE or BLUE tee box of your choice. Please indicate on your scorecard which hole was played from where!
We hope you enjoy it!
Stay tuned for 2 brand new PODs!
