2018 Ray Hunthausen Hole 9

Fund Raiser

July 13-14. 2018

The GMCC Ladies Association had another successful Hole 9 Fund Raiser, because of the generosity and volunteer work of its members.  A special thank you goes to all morning and evening league women who volunteered their time and cookie donations  toward this project.

The men were appreciative of the cookies, cold towels and water offered to them at the hole on both days.  In turn, they were very generous with their donations.

On day one we netted $1,011 and on day two $920.00.  The expenses were for towels, $23.64 and bananas $10.32.  The towels can be used again, so I recommend that the association pay for them.

I would like to thank my co-chair, Connie Ford.  Could not have done it without her assistance.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tina Veroulis, Chair

Ladies League Calendar 2018

Letter from the President

TUESDAYS ARE LADIES’ DAY AT GMCC – PLEASE JOIN US

June was a very interesting month for the ladies at Green Meadow.  We had course closures, thunderstorms, as well as several wonderful days of golf.  The big event was our Golf for a Cure!  Thank you to Jena Sabatini for organizing a great event with over 100 participants.  A significant amount was raised for the Wyoming/Montana Koman Foundation to help defray the costs associated with fighting cancer.  Couples League also started in June.  What a fun time has been had for all that joined in!  Remember to check the bulletin board in the Locker Room for Invitations to play other courses!  A fun time will be had if you choose to go and play!

July promises to be a busy month, with the Member/Guest Tournament and the Grannies tournaments.  Remember we have the Fundraiser on #9 during the Member/Guest Tournament.  This year we will donate half of the proceeds to the Ray Hunthausen Foundation for Junior Golf and the other half of the proceeds will go the MSGA Junior Golf Program to support the America’s Cup tournament to be held at Fairmont Hot Springs in July.

Speaking of Junior Golf – check out the “Trip of the Month” flyers in the Pro Shop.  The Montana State Golf Association sponsors this fundraising for Junior Golf throughout the state, with great trips and a limited number of tickets sold.  Make sure you ask Jena Sabatini about her upcoming trip to Scotland!

Please join us for the following events during July:

• July 10 – League Play
• July 13-14 – Member/Guest (Fundraiser on #9 Tee)
• July 17 – League Play
• July 19 – Grannies Tournament (9:00 a.m. shotgun)
• July 24 – League Play
• July 26-28 – Women’s State Amateur and Senior Amateur (Missoula)
• July 31 – League Play

I continue to encourage all golfers to join a league.  It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or seasoned golfer.  League play is fun and it is a great way to improve your game, meet other women golfers, and have a fun day/night out once a week.  Please remember that you can join any League at any time – or just come golf with us! 

Mary Bryson, President

The Rules Corner

Now since we have had a few holes closed during May, some of you may be wondering if you can post an 18-hole score when you haven’t played 18 holes.  That is a dilemma.  The Rules of Golf – Handicapping Section provide us some direction regarding this very question:

Scores to Post: To post a 9-hole score, the player must play 7 to 12 holes, and at least 7 holes must be played under the Rules of Golf. To post an 18-hole score, the player must play at least 13 holes under the Rules of Golf. (See Decisions 5-1a/3 through 5-1a/5.)

Based on that information, let me encourage you to post every score when you play.   It makes your handicap more realistic.  Well, that’s all for now and I’ll see you on the golf course!
