Monthly Newsletter September 2007
To all MSIS Addressees,
The day started out great..... when pulling into the Orange Park
development there was a sign reading; "Welcome Senior Interclub
players. Have a nice day". And we did just that.
Nice
day at OP
..... if you like it WET!
The course was in great shape though..... and
the food was wonderful. It rained most of
the day but the scores were outstanding
considering the conditions. I had heard a
rumor that the greens were in bad shape at
OP, but in my opinion they were the best
greens we have played in a long time. It is
too bad that two teams missed this match.
Orange Park did a wonderful job for us!
Thanks
to all the people who helped out at OP.
That includes Head PGA Pro Mike
Wilson, and his
assistant, Carlos. Team Rep Gary
Hill, Roy Gulick, John Pujol, Larry
Von Dolteren, Mark Good, Roger
Tedder, Jim Briska, and Bob
Hubbard. Wasn't
the food just great? If we could only get
that quality out of all clubs.... wow.

Not bad as I remember.
SCORECARDS
The
cards were pretty good considering how wet
they were. Our biggest problem???? Getting
signatures. How hard can that be?
Also,
we had lots of cards where one number in
written on to of or under another number.
We don't have time to chase you all down so
we opt for the highest number. You should
be aware of this. Find a better way to make
your corrections clear to us. The
competitor is responsible to make sure we
can read the card. Do not rely on your
scorekeeper. If you aren't happy with the
card, fix it before you sign it.

SUBMITTED ARTICLE
Posting Senior
Interclub Scores,
Submitted by Roy Gulick, Scheduling Chairman
During the kickoff
briefing at our August match at Jacksonville Golf
and Country Club, Barney Poston reminded all players
to post, at their home club, their ESC score as a
tournament round. Recently Barney
and I checked postings at every member club
to see how well MSIS players complied. Only 40%
posted their score as a tournament score. 41%
didn’t post their score at all. The bottom line is
that we need to improve in this area. The integrity
of the USGA Handicap System depends on it. The
results are listed below by club.

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.
