The event was held at Olde Oaks Golf Club in Haughton, Indexes appoint a Handicap Committee to ensure the integrity of the handicaps Louisiana and was won by Bruce Smith of The Trails of Frisco Golf Club and Jamie it issues. This committee should make certain that the members comply with Elliott, Director of Instruction at The Range Golf Club located at Tenison Park in the USGA Handicap System. There is also a compliance checklist that covers Dallas. Good job, Pro! 16 items that the Club must comply with in order to issue USGA Handicap Jesse Trevino Indexes. As a committee we are responsible for all aspects of the USGA Handicap System, including the computation of USGA Handicap Indexes. The Committee shall verify that all acceptable scores are reported for handicap purposes, and that LADIES GOLF CLINIC recorded scores are available for peer review. Your Handicap Committee is made up of volunteers. Lake Kiowa utilizes April 19 – 22 volunteers from within the MGA and WGA. At the present time we have only six members serving on the Committee. We meet 13 times per year on the $50/4 Days day preceding the computation of the Handicaps, which is every 28 days. We need volunteers to serve on the Committee. If you are interested in learning more about the handicap system and serving on the Committee, contact Brown McCrory at the Pro Shop. Handicap Committee CONSIDERATION – What we should have for each other. We have a man who plays golf here at Kiowa, most of the time on Saturdays, as you can see he has been here most vividly on Sunday. This man eats sunflower seeds and drops some of the shells on the greens. Have you ever tried to putt over these? You know it can’t be done so you bend down and pick them up. If this man is in your group, please ask him not to drop the shells on the greens or in the urinals. Someone has to pick them up. I’d bet money he doesn’t drop them on the carpet in his house. Thank you for your CONSIDERATION.
