Winter Golf Course Set Up

WGO-18 WOMEN’S 18- HOLE GOLF ORGANIZATION

As part of our ongoing effort to improve the quality and consistency of our golf course playing conditions, the Golf & Green Committee approved the following action at the business meeting on 8 November 2011. Winter play course set up at ANCC will commence on or about 1 December and remain in effect until approximately 1 March each eason. During this time only two sets of tee markers will be placed on each hole – one forward and one back. In many cases artificial mats will be placed on the teeing ground. When this option is utilized, all players should play from the mat and refrain from use of the grass teeing ground. We believe that this course of action will minimize winter damage, promote faster spring recovery and provide superior playing conditions during the golf season, March through October.

December is a month of no organized events for WGO-18. Winter Golf is available to those who choose to participate - see below for description and rules. This can also be viewed online under WGO-18 Booklet here . Winter Golf: The goal is to improve your ten gross 9-hole scores, played from the RED tees. Winter Golf began November 1, ends March 31 and has a $5 fee which will be billed to your account. Once you post your first score, you will be registered in the tournament. Each time you play an authorized round (with another player - doesn’t have to be a member of WGO-18), enter your score on the Winter Golf Tournament Sheet on the WGO-18 bulletin board at only one club. You may play at either campus – Arlington or Fairfax – but post on only one sheet. You may not post a winter golf score if you are not allowed to post a regular score. Every stroke must be counted, do not pick up if or when you reach your maximum ECS, putt out (conceded putts not allowed), post your actual score even though you will use your ESC score to post for handicap purposes. You may improve your posted scores by erasing the previous score and posting the new lower gross score. You must post a minimum of ten 9-hole rounds. Winners will be determined by their gross scores, less handicap strokes, at the end of the winter golf season. New members are welcome at any time during the year.
