Winter Golf Course Set Up

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 held on 8 November 2011. Winter play course set up at ANCC will commence on or about 1 December and re- main in effect until approximately 1 March each season. 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, generally March through October. The Committee thanks you for your support.

WGO-18 (Women’s 18-Hole) Upcoming December events:

Winter Golf is played during the inactive season from December through March. A minimum of ten 9-hole scores is required for completion. Sign up on the bulletin board in one of the locker rooms. Manually post your scores (using pencil) on the supplied score sheets on a bulletin board after you play. If you play 18 holes, post as two 9-hole scores. After posting 10 scores, if a future score is better than any of the ten listed, you can erase any score and replace it with an improved score. This process can be repeated until you have finished the season. At the end of the winter season, participants will be billed $5 and any winnings will be credited to their account. New members are welcome at any time during the year.
