7-21-10  Thanks for the participation on a pretty hot humid day.  We had 21 teams that participated in the Mixed Play Format with a scramble on Par 3's, a modified alternate shot play on par 4's, and a best ball competition on par 5's.  Although we all agree this format is not something we would do as a steady diet, it did provide a little spice and variety to our Wednesday game.  We only used handicaps to best assign teams.  Use of  handicap in this format is not computer friendly and would add even more delay on the results due to manual calculation.  We already have a delay of over one hour between the first foursome finish and the last group.  I will send out and discuss pace of play in another update. 

Congratulations to the winners. Next week we host Hurricane Creek on July 28 at the Ranch.  Please sign up in the SMGA Binder located in the Golf Shop or contact Larry Robicheaux to be added.  Our next SMGA event is August 4 which is an individual tourney with 100% Handicap. The next day on Thursday, August 5, the RLGA is hosting a playday with the guys.  Please sign up for both of these events in the SMGA Binder as well.  The Playday with the RLGA will also have a buffet to follow our play for $11.
