Greenbriar Oceanaire Community Association

The Board of Directors has given approval for the Ladies Golf League to begin play starting Thursday, July 16^th. Given the current circumstances, the OWGA Board voted to suspend collecting collecting fees or distributing prizes for the 2020 Season. This way both the golfers and Pro Shop Staff can avoid handling money. Since our Clubhouse and Restaurant are still closed, we will not be having our monthly luncheons or our end of year Luncheon and prizes. There will be no Shotgun starts. Play will be based on assigned tee times to avoid gatherings before the start of play.

Even under these unusual circumstances, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you all to join us. Golf is one of the few activities where we can safely social distance especially since we can all ride in separate carts. We play every Thursday morning through September. We will again offer both 18 and 9 hole tournaments every week .

We will still play Tournaments weekly and post “winners” as normal but with no prizes. The Tournaments scheduled for each week remain mostly the same except for the luncheon week Scrambles. These were replaced with formats that were originally scheduled for earlier in the year. The new Schedule is posted on the website. http://gocassociation.com/golf/ladies_day

Sign ups for each weeks tournament can be done in person at the check in window or by calling the Pro Shop. Make sure you tell them if you will be playing 18 or 9 holes. Deadline for signing up will be Tuesday at 9 am. The Rules sheet for each week will be available at check-in, on display at the check-in window and posted on the website for self-service by the members, if desired.

The Pro Shop requests that 1 person in each foursome be responsible for the handling of the league scorecard. This person will also be responsible for returning the scorecard to the Pro Shop window upon completion of play. Please do not congregate at the end of play.

The OWGA provides an opportunity to meet other women golfers and engage in friendly competition. If you’ve played in the past, we look forward to welcoming you again. If you haven’t, we encourage you to join in the fun. We strive to provide an environment that is welcoming to golfers of all skill levels. It is a great opportunity to meet and play with other women golfers than your normal groups.

One last note regarding the Schedule. Our Providence House Charity Golf Outing originally scheduled for June 11^th has been tentatively rescheduled for September 17^th. This is, of course, subject to change based on evolving rules and conditions.

We like to keep everyone informed by email, Beacon Articles and Flyers of our upcoming tournaments. If you do play golf and don’t get our OWGA emails, please send your email address and name to owga2000@gmail.com. If you’re currently getting our emails and no longer wish to, please reply via the same email address.

We look forward to seeing you on the course even if it is at a distance.

Sincerely.

Roe Tackas, Chair - OWGA

All women who are full or associate members of the Greenbriar Golf Club with a handicap are members of the OWGA

All Ladies Day Events are open to all women members of the Greenbriar Oceanaire Golf Club with a handicap. If you don’t currently have a handicap, please see the Pro Shop and they will help you get started. Playing one time before the start of the season will give you a “Trending Handicap”.

All women will be able to switch back & forth from 9 hole to 18 hole play as long as handicap requirements are met. The Pro Shop has assigned the following handicaps to be able to play:

18 Holes – 0 to 40 Handicap (over 40 with approval from Golf Pro)
9 Holes – Any Handicap

Over 40 handicappers who are restricted to playing only 9 holes for OWGA Tournaments can play 18 Holes on Thursday if they desire but must hand in their Tournament Scorecard after 9 holes. Please maintain Pace of Play throughout your Round.

There will be NO Fees collected and NO Prizes distributed for the 2020 Season

On extremely hot or Cart Path only days, the Tournament will be 9 Holes for all golfers (OWGA liaison & Golf Pro decision). Players can play 18 Holes but only first 9 Holes will count for the tournament.

The maximum Stroke policy for OWGA 9 Hole Individual Events is changing. In order to maintain Pace of Play - all players, regardless of handicap, who play in an OWGA 9 Hole Individual event will have a maximum score of 8 on Par 3’s, 9 on Par 4’s and 10 on Par 5’s.

Sign-up for Ladies Day will be at the Check-in Window or by calling the Pro Shop. Be sure to tell them if you are playing 18 or 9 Holes. Sign-up must be done by 9:00 am on the Tuesday before Ladies Day.

Scorecards and Handicaps:

Because of the new World Handicap system and new calculation for Maximum Hole Score for posting, the Pro Shop has to enter each person’s Gross Score for each Hole when posting the scores. Therefore, please write only the Gross Score on the Tournament Scorecard to make it easier for them to input. If desired, players should keep their net score on a separate scorecard. The Tournament Scorecard will continue to display the handicap dots where applicable.

Additionally, since handicaps are adjusted daily with the new system, the Pro Shop has determined that the OWGA Tournament Handicaps will be based on the prior Wednesday

Handicap. i.e. The day before when Tournament Scorecards are printed.

Luncheon Days: - There will be NO Luncheon Days for the 2020 Season

End of Year Prizes: There will be NO End of Year Prizes for the 2020 Season

SAVE THE DATE – Tentative rescheduled Providence House Fundraiser will be September 17, 2020

We hope that everyone has a fun, safe and enjoyable 2020 golf season!
