Welcome to the 2019 Golf Season
Well it is about that time ( I think??? ) Spring has been a long time coming, but with the days getting longer, it is going to have to warm up sooner or later. I just hope it doesn’t get carried away and go right into summer.
And now to the point…….The course will open the morning of Monday April 1st at 11:00 am. This is no April fools! The usual rules will apply. If there is frost or freeze, the course will open when the frost or freeze lifts. This rule applies everyday of the golf season, so please keep this in mind when heading out to the course. I would like to add that it would be helpful as well for any of the foot and/or cart traffic to avoid bare areas, especially early in the season, so we can try to get some grass seed to germinate and take hold. Please try to look for some of these areas as I cannot possibly rope them all off. Also, please use good judgment in avoiding the traditional wet areas. Look for future emails regarding things such as cart restrictions due to weather conditions etc.
Thanks for your patience and
Welcome to the 2019 Golf Season!!
Scott Pieper

CDGA Handicaps and Equitable Stroke Control
Many of you know what Equitable Stroke Control or ESC is, but it is questions asked very often. ESC is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes in order to make
handicaps more representative of a player's potential scoring ability. ESC sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole depending on the player's Course Handicap. It is used only when a
player's actual or most likely score exceeds his maximum number based on the table below. There is no limit to the number of holes on which a player may adjust his or her score. Basically, we all
occasionally have those holes where we seem to forget how to play this game, and ESC brings that score back to reality without allowing it to affect our handicap more than it should. The tables below
show exactly how it works:
Course Handicap ESC Maximum
9 or less Double Bogey
10-19 7
20-29 8
30-39 9
40 and above 10

Golf Tip
by Brett Thomas
Staying centered is crucial key for good contact and consistency.
I like to think I am swinging in a phone booth. It is the only way I can draw the ball.
Good luck !!
See you on the course!
