After many years, he and his golf buddies, Clark Hensley and Danny Caulkins gave up their HGGC membership in 2019. Billy shared with me that Clark died of a heart attack in his home in Feb-Mar. (many of us at HG heard about that) Also Danny Caulkins passed away this winter. He was doing his first chemo treatment in FL for possible lung cancer and his heart could not take the treatment and he died. Danny played in the Seniors League for many years and enjoyed away MISGAs. Stay safe and enjoy everyday. Next Week Round 2 of our Championship Series will be played next Thursday, July 9. Signup begins tomorrow at 8:00 AM. After round one, our top three in the gross competition are Bob Egge, Craig Ostrom and DougWilson.

Ties were decided by matching scores starting with the lowest handicapped holes. Do not post your score today. We have posted all reported scores to GolfNet. We are working on a way to show full results on this webpage. Hopefully we will have this in place next week. Prize money is a bit smaller than previous years due to the fact that we are not collecting a weekly prize pool. Prizes are being paid out of what we typically used for our annual banquet which will not be held this year. All prize money will be distributed at the end of the season. Championship Series Begins Next Week - June 11 The first round of this year's Championship Series will take place next Thursday, June 11. We have tee times beginning at 7:48 through 12:36. Signup on SignUpGenius (see button on sidebar) begins tomorrow, Friday at 8:00 AM and ends Tuesday at 5:00 PM. Looking forward to all of you participating in this fun event! Welcome New Members A hearty HGSGA welcome goes out to four new members who played their first round with us today. They are Mike Doyle, Steve Feldstein, Stuart Resnick, and Paul Duncan. We are glad you guys have joined us and look forward to many rounds of golf with you over the coming months and years! Please Use the Golf Genius App for Scoring Thanks to all the foursomes that used the Golf Genius App today. All but one foursome got their scores to us. You also must send us a picture of your paper scorecard. It helps us when the scores from the app are incomplete. Send pictures of scorecards to hgsgascores@gmail.com. If we don't have scores in the app or a picture of the written card by 5:00 PM on the afternoon of the event, your scores will not be eligible for prize money or for inclusion in tournament scoring. HGSGA Update - May 29, 2020 President's Message I am pleased to report that over 70 guys are signed up for our 2020 Season. It all begins next Thursday, June 4th, with a Stableford format and tee times beginning at 8:36 AM and ending shortly after 11 AM, For now, HGSGA events will not be considered an official Hobbit's Glen league. There will be no shotgun starts. Tee times will be obtained in an organized way by HGSGA members through the regular reservation system. There will be no gatherings before or after play. Golfers should not show up more than 30 minutes prior to their tee time and wear a mask in and around the clubhouse. All scoring will be done via the Golf Genius app and other digital means. Weekly prize money will be paid via your dues and will be distributed at the end of the season. While this year may not be perfect, it will be a good way for us to keep in touch and play the game we love. We will have 5 rounds for our Championship Series (best 3 scores), our traditional Match Play Tournament, and a nice variety of weekly formats to keep you engaged. You can check out our entire schedule by visiting our SignUpGenius page (click button on sidebar). This year, the signup process will take place on a weekly basis beginning at 8:00 AM Friday (for the next Thursday). The signup deadline is 5:00 PM on the Tuesday before the event, Thanks to a number of HGSGA members we will hopefully secure enough times to accommodate all who want to play. This might not always be the case so sign up early. Hoping you enjoy the season. Stay safe, Mac Dues Alert We have 68 guys that have paid their dues. Unless you have notified me otherwise, we are going to assume you will be playing this year. If you want your dues credited toward next year and not play this year, just email me. Some of you have already selected this option. There are a handful of guys who want to play but have not paid their dues yet. If you want to be eligible for prize money and tournament participation, please send your registration form (see sidebar) and check for $55 to Randy Maddox. His address is on the form. You can also drop the form and the check off at the pro shop. Mac Volunteer to be a Foursome Captain Until state and county restrictions are loosened, CA will not be able to block out tee times for us. Therefore, we need your help by volunteering to be a foursome captain. The job entails calling the pro shop for a tee time reservation at 8:00 AM on Wednesday morning eight days prior to our scheduled event. On the day of the event you will be your foursome's coordinator, which requires 1) that someone record all scores on the Golf Genius App 2) that you take a picture of your paper scorecard and email or text it to the designated scorekeeper, and 3) keep the paper scorecard until the final results are completed. In total, this job should take 10-15 minutes. In order to make a reservation 8 days in advance you must be a 5 or 7 day golf member. Fit and Play members and employees cannot make a reservation 8 days in advance. We need at least 12 guys to step up every week. Foursome Captains will be guaranteed a participation slot. Please let me know if you can take on this role. Email me at macramsey@verizon.net. Mac Have you Signed Up for Your Handicap? All HGSGA members must register for a handicap with Hobbits Glen in order to participate in any of our competitions. If you are a 5 or 7 day golf member at Hobbit's Glen, your annual handicap fee is paid by CA. If you are not a golf member, then you need to pay the fee yourself, through the pro shop. There are a number of you that do not have active handicaps. The easiest way to test is to try to look up your handicap on the MSGA website. https://msga.org/handicap/handicap-lookup/ If you can't look up your own handicap, then you are not active in the system. To activate your account, pay the annual fee at the pro shop. You could also buy an ACE card, which includes the handicap fee. As soon as you've paid the fee, let Joni or Lisa Wynne know that you've done it. I believe they are the two people who can do the activation.
