"Get Acquainted" 18 Hole Scramble
Sat June 26 - 9:30 start
NGCC is hosting a Members "Get Acquainted" Scramble this coming Saturday. We have many new members, as well as long time members, who don't know each other. This scramble is a way to get to know each other better, and have some fun doing it.
It will be a 4-person team 18 hole Best Ball Scramble, which means that each person hits a ball, then the "best ball" is used. Everyone hits from the "best ball" spot for the next shot. One score is recorded for each team. Members may bring guests to play as well. All teams will be put together by handicap (an A,B,C, D player per team) and everyone will be assigned to a team so that you can meet someone new.
The cost is $10 per guest for green fees. Carts for those wanting to ride is $12, and $5 for the prize money pool.
Sign up on the bulletin board, or call the Pro-Shop (693-6424)!

Don't Forget, Post Your Scores!
An accurate GHIN Handicap is key for fair play and it's a good measure of your progress in trying to improve your game.
Also, don't forget to "adjust" your scores according to Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). You need to adjust each hole's score down to the ESC according to your handicap level.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC):
Course Handicap
9 or less - Max Double Bogey per hole
10-19 - Max 7 strokes per hole
20-29 - Max 8 strokes per hole
30-39 - Max 9 strokes per hole
40-up - Max 10 strokes per hole
Golf Rule of the Week
Rule 27 Ball Lost or Out of Bounds: Provisional Ball
If a ball is out of bounds, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played.
If a ball is lost as a result of not being found or identified as his by the player within five minutes after starting to search for it, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played.
If a ball may be lost outside a water hazard or may be out of bounds, to save time the player may play another ball provisionally. The player must inform his opponent, and he must play it before starting to search for the original ball. If he fails to do so and plays another ball, that ball is not a provisional ball and becomes the ball in play under penalty of stroke and distance.
If it becomes known or virtually certain that he original ball is lost in a water hazard, then the provisional ball cannot be used. If the original ball is neither lost nor out of bounds, the player must abandon the provisional ball and continue playing the original ball.

Course Maintenance
Update
Work on the course is progressing well this last half of June. The reseeded road that used to cut across the 6, 7, and 8th fairways, have now been cut so the fairways run straight through. The new small trees planted between these fairways are doing well, and the two dead trees have removed. The 15th tee will be reseeded again this week. This next week, the crew will be edging some of the bunkers and working on the cart paths approaching the 1st and 5th greens.
