February 2024 Newsletter

Interclub
The February Interclub Matches at the Muni originally scheduled for February 5th were postponed due to heavy rains and flooding at the Muni.  The rescheduled matches were contested on February 26th on a sunny warm day.  The Muni again battered the field as the top score was +6 by the Shadowmoss team.  The Muni team struggled to a 6th place finish with only a few players able to post positive quota scores.  This leaves the Muni Team still ranked 4th in the year-long competition.  Two Muni players finished in the Top 25- B. Rotundo and J. DeStefano.  The next matches will be contested at Coosaw Creek on March 4th.  Good luck gents!

JLGA 1st Annual Match Play Challenge Begins in March
The next JLGA event is the 1st Annual Match Play Challenge.  This is an individual match-play event.  The field will be set at 32.  All JLGA members with an established Handicap Index (HI) are eligible to play.  Registration will open on March 1. Be on the lookout for your invitation.  This is a double-elimination competition so all competitors will have two chances to make it to the finals.  We hope to make this an annual competition for JLGA members.  Keep in mind that all competitors should make sure that they will be available to play matches until June 7.
