Summer Rules, MGA Net Tournament, Congratulations!
Dear Fellow Golfers,
A few of our members recently asked us to put together a club qualifier for the MGA / MetLife Net Team Championship. Due to our member’s demand, we will be having the club qualifier over the next two weekends. I will talk about this further at the bottom of this email. I will also be covering the following:
- Summer Rules
- Club Championship Sign Ups
- President’s / Vice President’s Cup Update
- Latest Results
- Outstanding Members
The Rules and Tournament Committees have agreed to move to Summer Rules (from Winter Rules) effective immediately. Summer Rules will govern all play until further notice (i.e. probably through the rest of 2009). There is no more improving your lies without taking an unplayable penalty. The USGA Rules of Golf still govern play as well as our local rules for Sterling Farms Golf Course.

The Club Championship sign ups begin this Friday (May 8th). The sign ups will be available both on the homepage of our website as well as on the bulletin board outside the pro shop. This is our only match play tournament event. So make sure you don’t miss it!

A couple of our members deserve to be highlighted for their recent outstanding play. The first is Rob Colucci who got a ‘hole in one’ during our Opening Event on hole number 15!
The second member is Jim Romaniello. Jim and his partner Pete Perimenis won our Opening Event (gross). Yesterday Jim qualified in the Westchester Golf Association’s 90th Amateur Tournament at Ardsley Country Club. By qualifying Jim will now participate in match play June 2nd, 3rd and 4th at Fairview Country Club. Good luck Jim!
Congratulations to Jim and Rob!

Sign ups for the MGA / MetLife Net Team Championship is at the pro shop only. This is a two man (net) team event. The cost to sign up is $20 per team. Members are allowed to qualify either this weekend (May 8 - 10) or next weekend (May 15 - 17). Please specify your preferred day to qualify. We will contact each of the teams to discuss tee times and foursomes. As with all qualifiers we try NOT to pair regular foursomes together. Our club is allowed to send one team to the Sectional Qualifier.
