IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN FOR MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL. IT IS BETTER FOR THE CLUB IF WE GET PAID DIRECTLY, AND THEN WE FORWARD THE SCGA WHAT THEY ARE DUE. THE ACTUAL PAYMENT IS NOT CRITICAL UNTIL LATER, BUT PLEASE NOTIFY JOHN CRAIG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF YOU WILL BE RENEWING FOR 2025. RENEWAL IS $100, AND NEW MEMBERSHIP $110, AS SCGA HAS RAISED THEIR CUT BY $5 THIS YEAR. THANKS FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION AND SUPPORT OF THE CLUB.
IT’S ALSO TIME TO CONSIDER ELECTIONS. IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT (TOURNAMENT CHAIRMAN), TREASURER, SECRETARY, OR BOARD MEMBER, PLEASE CONTACT JOHN CRAIG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND WE WILL HAVE AN ELECTION AT THE NEXT HOME TOURNAMENT.
NEXT TOURNAMENT IS BACK HOME AT MUNI ON NOVEMBER 24TH, AND WILL BE OUR ANNUAL “TURKEY SHOOT”. ONE NET FLIGHT – 50% OF THE FIELD WINS THEIR ENTRY BACK, UNLESS SOMEONE DONATES LOTS OF TURKEYS. SIGN UP IN THE USUAL LOCATIONS BY NOVEMBER 17TH, PLEASE.
SCGA IS RAISING OUR DUES PER MEMBER JAN. 1 FROM $36 TO $41 SO YOU CAN EXPECT THAT INCREASE TO BE PASSED ON. IF YOU RENEW ON LINE PLEASE GIVE ME A HEADS UP. PREFERABLY WHEN YOU GET A NOTIFICATION BRING YOU’RE RENEWAL CHECK TO THE NEXT TOURNAMENT OR DROP IT IN THE LOS PAISANOS DRAWER IN THE PRO SHOP AND LET ME KNOW.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A TOURNAMENT AND DO NOT CANCEL IN ADVANCE, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ENTRY FEE AND, DEPENDING ON THE AWAY COURSE POLICY, YOUR GREEN FEES.
TO THOSE WHO SIGN UP EARLY, THANKS. LATE HOUR SIGNUPS ARE A PAIN FOR ME AND STRAIN THE RAPPORT WE HAVE WITH THE GOLF COURSE. DO THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN A FAVOR AND SIGN UP BY THE SUNDAY BEFORE THE UPCOMING TOURNAMENT, HERE ON THE WEBSITE OR ON THE BULLETIN BOARD AT MUNI. IF THE LATE ENTRY SITUATION DOES NOT IMPROVE, WE MAY ESTABLISH A CUT-OFF DATE.
HAVING TROUBLE FINDING TEE TIMES? GO TO EVENTS, THEN TO TEE TIME ARCHIVES.

A COUPLE OF THINGS: WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE NEED TO POST OUR SCORES IN A TIMELY MANNER, GIVEN THAT THE POSTING OPTION AT THE COURSE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, AND THAT HANDICAP INDEXES ARE RE-CALCULATED ON A DAILY BASIS. PLEASE POST ON YOUR PHONE OR PC, IDEALLY ON THE DAY THAT YOU PLAY. CALL JOHN CRAIG OR GARY ADKINS OR FRED FLORES IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THAT. ALSO, IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FOR 2021
WE ENCOURAGE ALL PAISANOS TO INFORM THEMSELVES ABOUT THE NEW WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM, WHICH WENT INTO EFFECT JAN. 6, 2021. ALL DETAILS CAN BE FOUND ON THE SCGA WEBSITE – scga.org. OF PARTICULAR NOTE IS THE ELIMINATION OF THE OLD ‘EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL’ SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING WHAT SCORE TO POST. THE NEW LIMIT FOR ALL INDEXES/HANDICAPS IS NET DOUBLE BOGEY, WHICH IS PAR, PLUS TWO, PLUS WHATEVER HANDICAP STROKE(S) YOU WOULD GET ON THAT HOLE.
THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE POLICY ON RAIN IS THIS: CALL THE GOLF COURSE ON THE MORNING OF THE TOURNAMENT, AND, IF THEY ARE OPEN, AND ALLOWING THE USE OF GOLF CARTS, THEN THE TOURNAMENT IS ON.
A NOTE ABOUT MATCH PLAY: AT THE COMPLETION OF A MATCH, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO POST NET PAR ON THE REMAINDER OF THE HOLES. IF THE MATCH HAS GONE 14 HOLES, AND YOU STOP PLAYING AND WANT THE POST A SCORE, TAKE NET PAR FOR THE REMAINING HOLES. IF YOU CONTINUE PLAYING, HOWEVER, TAKE THE SCORE YOU ACTUALLY MAKE FOR POSTING PURPOSES.
ATTENTION ALL PAISANOS, ESPECIALLY NEW MEMBERS – PLEASE REFER TO CLUB INFO / TOURNAMENT POLICIES ON THE WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ON OUR VARIOUS FORMATS AND MAJOR TOURNAMENTS DURING THE YEAR.
ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS – PLEASE SET UP AN ACCOUNT TO ACCESS THE PAISANO WEBSITE BY SELECTING A USER NAME AND PASSWORD.

Notice about scoring: When you keep a fellow competitor’s score, you are his marker, and are responsible for entering his correct scores. Whenever a situation arises where there is any question as to the correct score for a given hole, the correct score must be decided upon as soon as possible, preferably before teeing off on the next hole, but, at the very least, before turning in a completed and signed scorecard, in order that the Tournament Committee may determine the correct score before closing the tournament. Thanks for your co-operation.
NOTE ABOUT SCORING – PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HOLE SCORES AND CHECK THEM BEFORE SIGNING AND TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD. YOU ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING THE CORRECT GROSS SCORES FOR EVERY HOLE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE TO CHECK THE ADDITION FOR THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BUT IT WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED IF YOU WOULD ADD, ENTER, AND CHECK THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BEFORE TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD.
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HOLE SCORES IN THE “MARKER SCORE” LINE AT THE TOP OF THE SCORECARD THAT YOU ARE SCORING FOR YOUR FELLOW COMPETITOR, THEN YOU CAN COMPARE THEM WITH YOUR OFFICIAL SCORECARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CORRECT BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN.
