SEPTEMBER 8TH POD

Hi All,

I have been searching for some new and FUN POD's to fill up September. I have found a couple that sound like they will fit the bill. This coming Wednesday we will be playing "Bingo Bango Bongo". Here's the scoop:

Bingo Bango Bongo rewards players for three things on each hole: being the first player in the group to get onto the green; being closest to the hole once all group members are on the green; and being the first player in the cup.

 The first player in a group to get her ball on the green gets a point (bingo).
 The player in the group whose ball is closest to the pin once all balls are on the green gets a point (bango).
 The player in the group who is first to hole out gets a point (bongo).

Show points as DOTS in the score box of the player earning the point(s). Add up the points and player’s score at the end of the game. Calculate NET score and subtract BBB points. Low scores will win.

Bingo Bango Bongo gives weaker players a chance to earn points because what matters is being first at something. Because this factor (and because the first person putting will be the one farthest from the hole), strict etiquette must be enforced. The player who is away always plays first.

There will be written instructions for you all at the desk Wednesday. Hope you enjoy it!

AUGUST 25, 2010 LOW NET

Good Morning!

Below are the winners of this week's LOW NET POD. Congratulations to all!

Please note the there are no Closest to the Holes for this week. The reason for this is the markers were not put out first thing in the morning. As a result, not all of our ladies' shots were counted. Thus, we felt the fairest, but not less painful, approach was to just cancel the contest for the 25th.

Fortunately, this was an isolated "goof" this year but we have reminded the course to send the markers out with the first ladies to play. As a precautionary measure, if you are the first out on Wednesday, please ask the starter for the markers.

Thanks for your help.

This Week's POD

Ladies, Since we had to reschedule Beauty and the Beast we are without a POD for this week. Since we can't let that happen, we will play LOW NET this week.

Good Luck!!!!!
