Speaking of closest to
the pin, we are just about out of prizes. Magnolia Point, Osprey Cove and Hidden Hills have been very generous with prizes. We need someone new to step up or we won't have four prizes each month. How about you? Can you help?
BESTS:
Lowest gross score: 76 John Vogelpohl (PV)
Highest point total: 43 Gordon Knight (ML) and
Russell Sell (JG).
You guys did a very good job with the cards this month. I have no complaints.
We need to remember to NEVER stroke control a score. If a player holes out give him what he took, even if it is ridiculously high. If a player does not hole out, give him a zero (0)! Our computers do all the stroke controlling. If you do it, a player may get points where he doesn't deserve any.
SCORING
Thanks for all the help at Magnolia Point. Those who helped were Roy Gulick (MP), Larry Von Dolteren (SN), Joe Power (EH), Frank Mitchell (MP), Jerry Friddle (MP), and Ed Boyer (MP).

Pre-Match Warm-Up
Gentlemen, warm-up prior to the start of our matches is a vital part of play with the real purpose being to “warm-up”. That is NOT the time to hone our skills or to work on a new swing. The practice area will accommodate only a small portion of our group at one time, so it is essential that we use the space and time effectively. Let’s be considerate of others and limit our warm-up session to no more than 15-20 balls. We then will be able to
give everyone a chance to warm-up.

SUBMIT AN ARTICLE
Articles of interest to MSIS
members are accepted and will be
published here. 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.
Please help out. Surely someone out there has an opinion or suggestion for the Interclub.
