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 Saturday, 1 December and remain in effect until approximately Friday, 1 March each season. During this time only 2 sets of tee markers will be placed on each hole – 1 forward and 1 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 recovery and provide superior playing conditions during the golf season, generally March through October. The Committee thanks you for your support.

CWGO hosts socials in the winter months to provide opportunities to get together in the off season. Our first event was a Happy Hour in the Eisenhower Lounge at ARL on Wednesday, 19 December. We had a great turnout and it was nice to celebrate the holiday season together. January Winter Social Wreath Clean Up at Arlington Cemetery : Every year, over 250,000 wreaths are placed on the graves of the heroes at Arlington Cemetery to honor and remember their service. While thousands of volunteers participate in the wreath laying ceremonies in December, the clean up efforts draw less of a crowd. This year, CWGO will participate in the retrieval which is tentatively set for Saturday, 19 January. We will meet at the club and head over to the cemetery, then reconvene at the Club for brunch. Keep an eye on your inbox or check out our Facebook page for more details. We hope to see you there! CWGO Career Women's Golf Organization
