Monthly Newsletter July 2007
I
for one really enjoyed the day at
Palencia. Maybe that was because my
team finished in the money for a
change. But is was a nice day. The
weather was perfect and the pace of play
was pretty good. That could be because
the pin placements weren't nearly as
severe as they were the last time we
player there. The gold course was in
good shape, the lunch was great and most
things went very smoothly.
Thanks to all the people who helped out
at Palencia. That includes Head PGA Pro
John Upton, Assistant Pro Dan Meinert,
in the Pro Shop were Mike Broderick and
Dan Picot, Team Rep John Lopiano, Roy
Gulick, John Pujol, Don Poppleton, Dan
Dickman, Mark Good, Jim Brady, and Hank
Flug. Not to mention the bag boys,
refreshment cart girls and the greens
keepers. Whew, it takes a lot of people
to make this thing work. Please thank
them when you see them.

SCORECARDS
The
scorecards were only
fair this month. Poor
legibility really
is tough to deal with at the scoring
table. When you players sign your card
for correctness, you also need to look
and see if it is legible. When we
cannot figure out if a figure is one
number or the other, we usually opt for
the higher number. You should be
concerned about that. It could cost you
a victory.
Three cards had "X"s on them! You are
always requested NOT to use "X"s for
pick-up holes. Always use a zero..
There
are two simple but effective rules to
follow:
1)
Player completes a hole - Enter actual
gross score
2)
Player picks up -
Enter a zero but
NOT an
'X' nor an adjusted score
Remember the computers will make all
adjustments and convert zeros to the
correct adjusted score but . . . . . . .
the computer cannot work with "X"s.

ARTICLES
Articles of
interest to MSIS members are accepted and will be
published in this report. Just email your article
to me. You must sign it.
I am sure that
you all see or hear things at our matches that would
be of interest to us all. Funny stories about
things that happen on the course. They don't have
to be the absolute truth! Brag about a great hole
you played or a great shot you hit. Here again, you
may stretch the truth. Write them up and send them
to me. It would make this a much more interesting
publication. If I don't get some input on this
publication soon, I will assume no one cares about
it and it will be discontinued.
Best wishes to
Aubrey Daniel (HH) and George Halvorsen (ML) two of
our players who are currently ailing.
