| LEAGUE PLAY UPDATE |
STARTING IN NOVEMBER, WE WILL HAVE TWO LEAGUES
SATURDAY MORNINGS at STONEYBROOK(SHOTGUN START)
BRAND NEW TEAM FORMAT - PLAY WITH A SET PARTNER 6 weeks starting November 8 through January 10th. (Round 1)
Stoneybrook Golf Club
You have been asking for a more formal and committed league and we are going to see how it goes. This league requires you to sign up and pay for all 6 weeks(dates will be known in advance) and you can sign up 2 different ways:
Commit to play with 1 partner for all 6 events. Each week your team will play a different team and at the end of the 6 events there will be a team winner. If you do not have a partner, you can sign up as a single player and we will pair you with someone for the entire 6 events. Once the league begins, if you cannot make a date, you will be responsible for finding a replacement player for yourself. Don't let your teammate down . If you cannot commit to all 6 events but want to be called if someone needs a substitute, we will put your name on a alternate list. Details are being finalized and sign up will be available soon
WE NEED A COUPLE OF VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS LEAGUE. Since signup and teams will be predetermined and paid for, we are looking for 1 or 2 people that will be able to help keep track of the weekly team rankings and the "go to" person for the pro shop if there are any questions.
Very minimal time required.
Please let me know if you would be willing to help out at [email protected] Sharyl Wicks
AND
THURSDAY AFTERNOONS at HIBISCUS GOLF COURSE (tee times)
For both leagues, everyone will have to sign up and pay in advance on 123signup, no exceptions.

| Michele's Golf Tips |  Pitch shots are not chip shots
Often, players will set up for a pitch shot in the same way they would hit a chip. The setup for the pitch shot is different because you want to fly the ball into the air. Instead of playing the ball back in your stance, keep your feet just inside your shoulders and play the ball in the middle of your feet. Do not open your stance, as this causes a problem with your swing plane. Make a smooth back and through motion and hit down on the back of the ball to make it spin upward.
