Winter Golf Course Set Up
2018 Northern Virginia Retired Men’s Golf Association (NVRMGA)
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 artifi- cial 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 condi- tions during the golf season, March through October.
Don’t miss out on a great experience of playing local country club courses. If you are 55 or older, you can become a member of the NVRMGA and do just that! ANCC will field two separate teams, one at Arlington and one at Fairfax. Both teams are always looking for new players. The ANCC Arlington team was the league champion in 2010 and 2015 and the ANCC Arlington and Fairfax teams were co-champions in 2011. In 2017, the ARL team was again crowned League Champion! And the FFX team finished in a tie for sixth place. Both teams are looking forward to successful seasons in 2018. The 2018 ANCC teams will be put together within the next few months, so there is still plenty of time for you to sign up. HOW? Just sign up here before 31 January 2018 for the ARL Team and here by 1 March 2018 for the FFX Team or by visiting the NVRMGA page under Golf Organizations. Even if you were a NVRMGA player last year, it is required you sign-up again this year. A contact list will be posted on the golf bulletin board in each ANCC pro shop whereby eligible ANCC golfers not currently part of a team, but wishing to join us in 2018, can express interest. How does NVRMGA work? New in 2018, the League will be organized into 3 regions - Eastern, Central and Western with ARL in the Eastern and FFX in the Central. We will play each of 10 opposing teams twice, once at home and once away between early April and late September. The League Champion will be determined by a four-team playoff (three region champions and one wildcard team) during the first two weeks of October. Play is on Thursdays, teeing off at 8:45 AM. As a team member, you will be assigned to play in 5 or 6 matches and have the opportunity to volunteer as a substitute for matches to which you are not assigned. A schedule will be available in early February for ARL and early March for FFX indicating which matches you have been assigned. These are handicap matches - no need to worry about your current handicap index.
