University
Ridge EWGA League 2011
Welcome to EWGA golf at University Ridge. Our league will play on Tuesday nights for 12
weeks (May 17 through August
16). We have four tee times:
4:54, 5:03,
5:12 and 5:21.
Attached to this flier is the
tee time schedule for season. The
schedule is also available on the EWGA Madison website. Please note that we do
not have league play on
June 7 and July 5.
UW will try to get us on the
back 9 at least three times during league.
Stroke Rule
In order to keep pace of
play, please limit yourself to 10 strokes per hole. After 10 strokes, you should pick up your
ball and allow the rest of your foursome to complete the hole. Record a 10 on your scorecard and strive to
minimize the number of holes in which you are forced to pick up.
Scorecards and Handicap
University Ridge does not have computer that you can use to enter your handicap. It is your responsibility to enter your own score your own computer. This year we can record our scores for handicap for free @www.ewga.com.. Using the EWGA handicap system will require that you either start over entering scores beginning with this session OR you can enter some of your
on
the EWGA Madison Website wwww.ewgamadison.org under “leagues/Handicap
Information”.
Rain/Bad Weather
Always assume that you are
playing. If the weather is bad all day,
I will try to get a decision on play from U-Ridge as soon as possible. In general, unless there is a lot of standing
water or lightening, we will play. If
the course closes, we will be offered a rain check or reschedule.
The rain checks will be given
to Mollie Chritton to distribute so no need to check
with the club house. I will pass them
out at the next week. However, if it is raining, and you decide not to play,
you are not offered a rain check.
Play Your Designated Tee Time
The tee time schedule has
been structured to split the early and late tee times and to give everyone the
opportunity to play with each other. We
will be playing ready golf. If you miss a tee time and
another team member is ready to play they will take you spot
and plan on joining the next tee time.
Substitutes
It is your responsibility to
obtain a substitute if you are unable to play.
To find a sub, log on to the EWGA Madison website a click on “request a
substitute”. You are given the option to
select the Tuesday University Ridge Sub List.
You type in the message on the tee time and date and the system sends
the e-mail directly to the names on the University Ridge sub list. If you have a sub, please let me know so that
I can have the card ready for the appropriate person. Many times the sub forgets the name of the
person they are subbing for. It makes it
easier if we know to expect them. If you
are splitting a league, but interested in a few extra nights of golf, you may
want to add you name to the sub list. Recommended sub fee for University
Ridge is $35. If you don't want to
get a sub but still would like to play...contact head pro Ryan Wieme 497-4453 and he will
let you know if you can play another evening
that same week.
Check-in
When you arrive at University
Ridge, please check at the club house and proceed to starter. You will pick up your score card. Always
arrive early and be ready to play 10-15 minutes before your scheduled tee time. This courtesy ensures that everyone will play
their full 9 holes before the sun sets!
FUN NITE AND WHITE
ELEPHANT EVENTS
**There will be 2 “FUN
NIGHTS” on July 14 and 19 , where you can win Bucky Bucks, to be used in the pro shop. In addition
everyone will be given a chance to shop in the pro shop and take
additional 25%
off on those two evenings! There will
also be a “WHITE ELEPHANT NIGHT” on August 2, details to come!
No Golf June 7 or July 5.
University Ridge Roster
A roster of league members is
on the web site. I will also pass one out first night of league. If you would
like to update any of the information, please do so on the EWGA website.
Stick Around After Golf
If possible, join your
fellow league members for a sandwich and beverage in the club house following
golf. This is a great way to relax and
meet some new friends! Ryan has asked the
club house to remain open after our league so we will be
able to network.
Golf Carts and Practice
Balls
Our league fees include
practice balls before the round and we can rent a golf cart this year
for $5 per person
per round.
This is YOUR league – have fun and please share your feedback on what you
like, dislike, etc. so that we can make improvements each year.
Feel free to contact me at
any time!
