(Reference: Sunday, 7/16)
If one of your playing partners is searching for a lost ball for several minutes and cannot find it (ie. - Rob O. on #15), please show some golf courtesy and try to help them find it. Next time it could be you. (Kirk, Frank or Hector)

Bags of Sand Used to Block Ego Handicap

To: ALL MVMGC Members
From: Doug Whitney...Your Friendly Neighborhood Handicap Chairman

Posting ALL acceptable scores is a requirement to be a member of the SCGA and/or USGA.

The Handicap Chairman certification program that I attend (8 hours and a 100 question quiz), gives me the training and tools to make the appropriate handicap adjustments when necessary, to those showing signs of "sandbagging" or having a "ego" handicap.

When members don't post, I have to spend much more time reviewing what effect the unposted score would have had (whether positive or negative). This makes my "volunteer" job as handicap chairman much more difficult. Please POST your scores, with the required "adjustments".
