Here we go 14 hole hackers…start to another (hopefully great) season on the links!

Our first week is right around the corner on Monday 5/6 so I hope everyone is in mid-season form. I confirmed with Wild Wood that range balls will be out for us by 3:30 pm every week, so show up early and get your warm up in!  The league starts promptly at 4:30. 

We have a few changes this year. 

We lost a few groups bringing us down to 28 total golfers…6 teams in the White flight and 8 in the Green flight. The Green flight will have 2 position weeks and the White flight will have 1.  You can see the schedule on our website [14holegolf.com]. But keep in mind as the season winds, the schedule is most likely to change.

No golf on Memorial Day, but we are playing the week of the 4th.

We do have 2 new golfers with us this year so welcome Rick Petralia (playing with Charlie) and Jeff Wilson (playing with Vince).

The league is going with a new tee box configuration this year. Instead of straight blue tees for the 1st 9 holes, we are moving up to the white tees for some of the holes. We will use this blue/white hybrid combo for the 1st 9 holes and then play straight White tees for the remaining 5. Here are the specifics:

Asking you knuckleheads to remember this would be pure chaos, so we have modified our scorecards to identify the holes and the tees to be played. In the sample below you can see the 6 holes to be played from the BLUE tees are identified by blue background above each hole.

This will hopefully make the course a bit more enjoyable for everyone!

Don’t expect to see a beverage cart for the first few weeks so if you want any libation (or hydration), either bring your own or buy it from the cooler in the pro shop.

I plan on weekly emails once the season begins. Trying to fill Bill’s shoes will not be easy, so please be patient.

I encourage everyone to familiarize yourself with the website [14holegolf.com]. It’s got a slightly new look and lots of information.
