Welcome everyone to EMGA’s 2025 season. The big day is next Saturday, March 15th when we can start posting our Colorado scores to GHIN. We see some of us have already gotten tee times this morning for next Saturday.
While our games may still be rusty, we should be posting all our valid scores throughout the season, both good and bad. This also includes the ones over this winter for those of your snowbirding in a southern state.
As we say in our Constitution, we are a social golf organization established to enhance our members’ golf experience and promote proper course care, golf etiquette and good sportsmanship. Attached is a friendly reminder, not a governing document, of some of the conduct we’ve come to hope for in each other in enhancing one another’s golf experiences. Such as posting all our scores as covered in the last paragraph of this attachment.
The document also includes some decent tips on how to keep up pace of play so we can get all our rounds complete in 4.5 hours or less. One of these we will be constantly stressing is playing a provisional ball ANYTIME your ball is in the trees or tall grass that is not a penalty area. A member asked if we should adopt the Alternate Lost Ball Option to help save time, but as the USGA says, this is for casual golf and not tournaments. So if you hit your drive through the fairway and across the road on #2 Silver, please play a provisional. While we all think we can easily find it in that “open” area, the golf gods are seldom that kind.
For questions, comments, or proposed additions, please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is [email protected]
