April 2024 E-Newsletter

Don’t miss out on a great experience competing against other country clubs and playing a variety of local courses. If you are 50 or older and retired from at least one occupation, you are eligible to join the league. ANCC fields two separate teams which are very competitive in league play -- one at Arlington and one at Fairfax. Both teams are always looking for new players. During the season the Arlington team will play 12 other teams both home and away for a 24-match season. The Fairfax team will play 10 other teams both home and away for a 20-match season. The League’s season runs from early April through early October. Play is on Thursday mornings and is four-ball match play with a 3-point Nassau, combined with a sweepstakes competition. We use handicaps in all matches and our team members have handicap indexes ranging from the single digits through the mid-thirties. As a team member, you will be assigned to play in at least a third of our matches during the season and may volunteer to play any matches to which you are not assigned. The home club provides practice balls and waives green fees. It also provides morning pastries, coffee, and a buffet lunch afterwards. The 2024 Army-Navy teams will be put together within the next few months and eligible ANCC members can sign up for either team. Visit the teams ’web pages on the ANCC website for signup instructions. Signups are open from now until 31 January 2024 for the Arlington Team and until 1 March 2024 for the Fairfax Team. The pages for the two teams can be found on the ANCC web site under Golf, ANCC Golf Orga- nizations & Teams, Men’s Groups. For more information, visit the teams’ web pages.

The 18-Hole Women’s Golf Organization is off to a busy start! The WGO-18 season opened with its Spring Luncheon 26 March, and twice-weekly Play Days commencing 1 April. WGO-18 is also offering a series of clinics at both campuses with ANCC’s new golf pro and Director of Player Development Rachel Belanger. We’re excited to welcome her! The first tournament of the year is the Spring Fling on 19 April, a fun step-aside scramble. If you’re an 18-hole golfer and would like to join, it’s not too late!

There was a packed house for the CWGO Rules Clinic on 9 March! Thank you to our pros, Brad Myers and Sophia Monte- negro for leading us through such an informative and fun dis- cussion. I’m happy to now understand the difference between Loose Impediments and Movable Obstructions! Our next event is our official Spring Kickoff Lunch and Nine- Hole Scramble which will be held at Arlington on 6 April s tarting at 11:15 AM. We welcome all members of CWGO to attend, but advance sign ups are required for purposes of ordering food and arranging teams. You do not need a handicap to participate in the Nine-Hole Scramble and pro shop will be setting up the teams for us (so you do not need to create your own team!) To sign up, please click here. Our weekday play days start on 10 April in Arlington and April 11th in Fairfax and continue each Wednesday and Thursday through the summer and early fall. Hope to see many of you out there!
