Hi Everyone,
We did a great job volunteering this year. Because of the great volunteering, two things have happened.
- The city will not increase the access fee for 2025! 😊 Great job ladies – the volunteering play a HUGE role in this!! Unfortunately, though, your renewal will still be going up a bit as GHIN has increased their rates for 2025.
- The board has decided to give out a VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD!! This award will be given to the member who has performed the most volunteer hours for the club. The winner will get to signup a foursome of their choice during sweeps play date!!! So, please keep volunteering ladies!
Speaking of volunteering, the divot programs will continue to take place Monday and Friday of the 3rd week of the month.
As always Michelle or I will be blasting out email signups for volunteering for the various tournaments. If you would like to sign up before the email is sent out just email me the event(s) you would like to volunteer for.
Tee Time Reservation Changes for 2025
The board has been working to find a solution to ease members’ frustration in finding available spots. Since we cannot add additional tee times at this time, we had to look at other options. Part of the issue is that the GG system holds tee slots based on the type of reservation for the round which means that M+3 rounds lock up tee slots which could be available to single players and smaller groups. We also found that most reservations, even for M+3 rounds, are members only registering themselves.
Based on this information, the board decided during the September Board meeting to eliminate the Member +3 (M+3) option for next year.
In 2025 there will only be Member Only(M) and Member +1 (M+1) events on Sweeps dates.
Please see this article for more information on how the GG reservation system works and how it affects time availability and why we think the change will help in 2025: How Golf Genius makes tee times unavailable.
Thanks All!
