TIP OF THE DAY:

Kenny Evenson’s tip-of-the-day was finding the club’s release point at the the ball. His advice was to swing slowly on the range to find the release point and to shorten the backswing and accelerate through the ball. 

NEWS FROM THE COURSE:

Frank Beaty reported that Gary Frazier has started the prepwork for the front nine renovation that will begin on May 18. He is still searching for some hidden irrigation heads. Frank also advised everyone to fix ballmarks on the greens and to sand all divots, even ones that you didn’t make.


RULES UPDATE:

Bill Robinson presented the ABCs of dropping a ball after hitting into a hazard or an unplayable lie. A. All the way back to the original lie; B. Behind the point where the ball crossed the hazard or lay unplayable; C. 2 club lengths from where the ball lies unplayable or from where it crossed a lateral water hazard.

Ken Brace responded to problems with speed of play by giving the following tips for speeding up play:

Park the cart between both players lies in the fairway
Take more than one club if unsure which club you need
Play ready golf when feasible.
Hit a provisional if you are unsure whether the ball is in bounds or not
After hitting, get in the cart with your club and put it back in the bag at the next cart stop.

Brace also encouraged all in the membership to consider becoming an officer of the association. If interested, please contact him. The MGA is planning an end-of-year event in September at the Community Center at which refreshments will be served. It will be scheduled shortly after the conclusion of the 3-day tournament.

The Meeting was adjourned at 5:45 pm

Respectfully submitted, 

Ken Sabol
