1)  President’s Message:

Happy New Year to everyone. As we begin this new year of golf, I would like to make a few comments about our Club.

I hope we can increase our member’s participation in the new year. While many of our members have regular foursomes and established start times, there are open times that are not assigned so I would encourage you to call or go to the pro shop and sign up for the open times. In addition, members of foursomes are required to release their time by Friday of each week if they are not playing on the following Monday. You can call the course to determine what times have been released and have your name entered in the open spot, or you can visit the pro shop and ask the pro shop attendant to show you the list for the times that have been released and place your name in the open spot.

 I also encourage you to visit the Club's Web Site. There is a wealth of information about the Club activities and upcoming events for your review and how you can communicate your thought and ideas to the Board of Directors. The Club's Web Site can be viewed by logging onto www.shorelineseniorsgolfclub.net.

3)  Mark, Lift, Clean & Place:

 

This Local Rule is to be applied by Shoreline Seniors Golf Club members when the Course is playing under “Cart Path Only Conditions”

A ball lying on a closely mown area through the green may be lifted without penalty and cleaned.  Before lifting the ball, the player must mark its position.  Having lifted the ball, he must place it on a spot within one club length of and not nearer the hole than where it originally lay that is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.  “Mark, Lift, Clean & Place”

A player may place his ball only once and it is in play when it has been placed (Rule 20-4).  If the ball fails to come to rest on the spot on which it was placed, Rule 20-3d applies. If the ball when placed comes to rest on the spot on which it is placed and it subsequently moves, there is no penalty and the ball must be played as it lies, unless the provision of any other Rule applies.  If the player fails to mark the position of the ball before lifting it or moves the ball in any other manner, such as rolling it with a club, he incurs a penalty of one stroke.

When ball comes to rest in the rough it may not be marked, picked, clean and placed, unless there is bird feces on the ball. Player must declare to his playing partner(s) his intent to clean the ball. Ball must be placed back on the exact spot where it came to rest (one club length is not allowed)

NOTE:  “Closely mown area” means any area of the course, including paths through the rough, cut to fairway height or less.

4)  Recording of “Penalty” scores by the committee (Handicap chairman, Tournament chairman, President):

 

In the spirit of preserving the integrity of handicaps, the following guidelines will be followed with regards to recording a “penalty” score (the lowest score recorded in the most recent 20) for members who complete a stipulated round during Shoreline Seniors Tournaments and who fail to record their scores:

1.    Failure by a member to record a score following a designated (T) Tournament.

2.    Noted repeated failures by a member to record scores during regular Tournaments

Additionally, a failure to record a score in any Shoreline Seniors Tournament will result in a disqualification for that Tournament.
These guidelines were discussed and agreed to by the Board of Directors at the 13 Jan 2011 Board meeting.

 

5)  Greens Committee Report:

Shoreline will be installing the sod on #12 fairway on Tuesday, the 11th of Jan. The sod

crew usually shows up first thing in the morning and hopefully the work will be done in a

few hours. Once the sod is completed we will make sure the area is roped off and signs

will be placed around it. The rest of that week looks like rain so we will try to schedule the hydroseed for the following week if we can.

 

We have been and will continue to replace batteries on a number of golf carts the in

next few months.

 

Shoreline Staff will be hosting a meeting of local agencies next week to discuss the

addling of geese eggs in the south bay this spring. This is a continuation of a program

that started in 2008.

 

We are in the planning stages of resurfacing and painting the parking lot this spring.

We will keep you posted when dates become available.

 

6)  Hole-In-One:

Congratulations to Bill Beal for getting a hole-in-one at the 11th hole on November 29, 2010. He used a five wood and was approximately 129 yards away.
