Tournament News - John Gardner
As usual, the
tournament sign-up sheet will be available in the pro shop next to the computer.
Also, you may e-mail John Gardner (grendragjc@aol.com), or Kent
Lauble (kent@centralcoastgolf.com) to register.
We will consider accommodating special requests for tee times, while
continuing to maintain integrity and fairness to the field when considering
such requests. Tee times will generally be e-mailed Thursday evening, and
posted in the pro shop Friday. Tournament fees will be collected at
check-in, and we ask that you check-in no
later than 1/2 hour prior to your tee time.
As usual, the tournament committee is
always looking for ways to improve our tournaments, and increase
participation. It is your club, so your inputs are encouraged, and will be appreciated.
Distance measuring devices are allowed.
As of January 1st 2006, DCMGC has enacted a policy matching
the USGA recommendation.
Cell phone ringing ban, use restriction.
"Heretofore, any cell phone, pager or other
electronic device making sound that attracts the attention of any player
during a stipulated round, whether it interrupts play or not, will incur a
two-stroke penalty. A second incidence will result in
disqualification." It is
preferable that no cell phone be taken on the course at all.
However, if a player must be electronically available during a tournament,
it is mandatory that he configure his cell phone for silent operation.
He may then place an outgoing cell phone call after his group has
putted-out on a given green, and must end it before anyone in his group
tees-off on the next hole.

Handicap
Stickers are GONE!! If you want a paper copy of your
handicap, go to www.NCGA.org and register
your email address to receive a link to a nice color page of your handicap
and some history, which can be printed and used for identification.
You can also get your current handicap on ANY handicap computer at
any NCGA Golf course.
2012 Handicap Index Cut-Off Dates: Since January 2010, NCGA
handicaps will be revised on the 1st and 15th of each month . . . 24
revisions in all for 2012. This new revision schedule will offer more
timely handicap updates during our peak seasons and to those who post a lot
of scores.
These are the dates that electronic transmissions of scores and
transactions must be received by GHIN in order to appear on the following
1st and 15th of-the-month handicaps.
All cut-off dates fall on the 14th
or last day of the month. This means that any scores and transactions
successfully transmitted to GHIN by 6:00 p.m. (P.S.T.) on the evening of
the 14th or last day of the month will be reflected handicaps issued
the following day.
Golfers can view their current Handicap
Index via 1) the popular Handicap Look-up feature on our website (http://www.ncga.org/); 2) an
automatic e-mail revision report (nearly 90,000 NCGA members currently
subscribe); and 3) via computer screen at all NCGA golf courses (steps are
being taken so that the current Handicap Index of every NCGA member will be
directly available at every NCGA golf course).
