Gentlemen,
Today’s cancelled OPC round was supposed to be on the Blue course. And for those that read Theo’s email he sent out this morning, you saw where EGC maintenance will be punching the Blue greens on Tuesday, May 12th. Thus, we have been moved from the Blue to the Silver Course for our OPC that day. The impact is all four of our rounds in May will now be on the Silver Course plus our round last week was also on the Silver.
While none of us enjoy playing 5 EMGA events in a row on the same course, our primary driver is to maintain a season long balance of play between the two courses. To accomplish this, we moved the Thursday, June 11 and the Thursday, August 20th OPCs from Silver to Blue. The updated schedule is attached and here are some stats on how we are maintaining that balance.
- After today’s cancellation, we now have a total of 37 rounds this season with 18 on the Silver and 19 on the Blue.
- Since there are only 3 of them, the only type of play without a 50/50 split is our Open Play rounds (one back on March 19th and the two in November). We have one on the Silver and two one the Blue.
- There are 20 OPCs and 18 Ike Cup rounds evenly split 10/10 and 9/9 respectively on the Blue and Silver courses
- Both the Blue and Silver Ringers also have 9 rounds each
- There are 12 tournament rounds: 4 each Individual, TwoMan, and ABCD (four-man) with two rounds for each on the Blue and two rounds for each on the Silver.
- For those playing in the Home and Aways though, 7 of those 9 rounds will be on the Blue course.
With respect to alternating courses, we will have 1 three-week streak of Blue courses; 3 two-week streaks of Blue courses, and 1 two-week streak of Silver courses. We hope you will understand why this has to happen to maintain an equal balance in all our various competition types this season.
Thank you in advance for your understanding
Don Knight, EMGA VP
