Committee Reports:
Al Ostberg – Handicap: Of the 150 players
in last month’s tournament (5) did not post, (4) posted from the women’s
blue tees, (4) posted scores higher than they carded, and (2) posted the
round as a “T” score. Al has yet to penalize for this continuing
non-conformance. If your handicap goes down due to a Penalty round, the
reason will be your failure to post correctly. This meeting may be the
last warning on responsibility to post correctly.
