It was a very nice day at St Johns. With warmer weather and a golf course that was in great shape, some very good scores were recorded.

SCORECARDS
Your scorecards were good this month although there were a few legibility problems. Remember, you are personally responsible for your card even though someone else kept your score.
We had a two cards with Xs on them. Remember, when a player does NOT complete a hole, mark a zero (0) on the card; not an "X".
Always remember too
that you should NEVER pick-up on a hole until you have reached your maximum ESC score AND you can no longer score a point. For speed of play reasons, always pick-up at that point and enter a zero on the scorecard.
Also, NEVER stroke control your score. The computers will do that for you.
SCORING
We had a very good day with the post-match
scoring. I have detected no errors. Great!
Actual posting of scores to the scoreboard was a little slow as the computer finished about 10 - 15 minutes ahead. The wind was a hinderence to all of us.
Much thanks to all of you who helped with the scoring at St Johns. Those who worked were Glenn Dobrick SG, Larry Von Dolteren SN, John Pujol QH, Bill Gibson SJ, Mike McCormick SJ, Bob White SJ, and
Charlie Jenks SJ.
COMPUTERS and OPERATORS NEEDED
We are getting near a critical shortage of laptop owners who are willing to bring their computer to the matches and help us with the after match scoring.
If you qualify, please identify yourself to me or to your Team Rep. We offer low or no wages, a lot of pressure, on-the-job training and a nasty boss.
All kidding aside, alternatives to our computerized scoring are NOT pretty. Please come forward with your offer to help.
We also need a guy who is not playing on match day, to ride shotgun on the computer set-up. He would be there about
one hour before we finish playing golf. He would make sure the table, chairs, extension cord, and power strip are in the best position for us. Then he would power up all the computers and have the flash drives in place ready to roll. Is anyone out there interested in trying this assignment? Would any of you who are mending physically be interested? Let me know. Next match is at Marsh Creek.
NEXT MATCH
