Mabuhay Philippines, hello golfers all over the world. Numbers keep rising as today 33 players took the highway to Beverly for a round of Medal. Even the Corona virus in China affected the attendance causing Paul Brummit to cancel his trip over there.
The weather, fairways and greens were all pretty good at Beverly as players all arrived in the dark waiting for the sun to rise to warm them up.
There was some confusing about the groups and there was even a group of 5 going out in the middle of the tee-off order. That’s why the captain after consulting the members of the committee during the bar presentation decided for a new ruling.
No groups of more than 4 players unless at the end of the pack or split up making up 2 groups of 2 and 3 players when you like to tee off early. Keep the pace during play and remember the existing golf etiquette ruling; when you are playing against an open hole, let the group(s) behind you through or speed up your play.
Note from the Handicapper: Please do not share cards it confuses things. We need one card per player and please write the gross score down and not let your caddy keep score (which they are not supposed to do anyway) and entering just plus shots over par!
