January 2026 Oracle

In the words of Tiger Woods “ When I ’ m swinging well, I don ’ t take divots. ” So, let ’ s all swing well like Tiger and tee it up and hit it clean to keep our tee boxes green. Remember practice swings are for rhythm and tempo; they don ’ t need to take a divot.

We are so glad that you are here

John Mullins — Golf Committee Chair

On behalf of your Golf Committee, we would like to thank everyone that comes out to play in our Tuesday scrambles and the Thursday Best Ball tournaments. We have enjoyed helping Ryln with these fun filled ways to play golf and meet people. If you have never tried or haven ’ t played for a while, let me cordially invite you to join us to a fun start to your morning. On the Tuesday scramble ’ s everyone tees off and then the best playable ball or best strategy needed ball is marked and everyone plays from there and if not holed then everyone plays from the closes ball to the cup until it is put into the hole, and you are on to the next hole. This format is fun for everyone, because everyone will contribute in one way or another to your team. Just bring your clubs, balls and a willingness to have fun. Teams change every week, so you never know what new friend is waiting to meet you. $5 to play on Thursdays you have a fun way of working on your game in a team format. You will play your own ball, but handicaps will be used to even up play. Most times only two scores from your team will be used per hole, so every hole is a new chance to help your team. At the end of the round, you may be surprised to see just how many times your score was used to help your team, but please remember that having fun remains the top priority. $5 to play.

Coming January 10th

January Brings the String Tournament and another way to enjoy a round of golf with new and old friends. This tournament is a Scramble format with up to 6 or 8 people per team. In the golf string game players are allowed to move their ball to a more advantageous spot without losing a stroke. When they do so, they simply measure the distance they have moved the ball and cut this length off their piece of string, but when your string runs out, you must count on only the skill of your team. There are more obstacles added to the course to keep everyone enjoying the game. So, if you are looking to add some fun to your day, please join us Saturday January 10th we will have food served afterwards, as if the game wasn ’ t a good enough reason to join in the fun. $5 to play. On January 22nd, we will be having the Hole in One tournament for owners that have had a hole in one here, at the resort. The Hole in One Tournament is a Shotgun start. One person team. Maximum of six people per tee box. Each player will play for a gross score. Net scores are for players that have at least 5 scores recorded this season at ORPS. Pay, Men ’ s gross and net/ women ’ s gross and net. $10 to play.
