FTSG Local Golf News for January 22
Troy to Host First Masters Event
Masters_1_600x400Troy Country Club gets our 2022 Miami Valley Masters season under way when it hosts the first event on Monday, May 9th.  This organization is for gentleman golfers over the age of 50 who reside within our community.

This organization does require a separate membership outside of being a GHIN member of Miami Valley Golf.

The events are traditionally 1:00 PM shotguns with a nice dinner to follow. Awards are given in both net and gross divisions divided by age categories of those competing that day.

Cloning Your Events

Cloning_Your_EventsNo matter the type of facility you are located at, be it public or private, you will often find that you are hosting the same event year after year for your loyal clients.

Often these events will be played utilizing the same format as the previous year, allowing you to use the Cloning shortcut tool inside the Golf Genius software.

Cloning an event or league from a previous season will bring over items like banners, logos, tournament setup, portal setup, and much more. If you have a recurring event or league every season, we always suggest cloning instead of creating a new event or league from scratch.

I find this tool exceptionally useful in major events like a member-guest tournament that you have spent years perfecting the format. This can be a time saver if the portal includes a large amount of information.

Random Golf Footnotes

Glenbeck Golf Course

Glenbeck_GCGlenbeck Golf Course was open on May 8th 1932.  We believe it was a game development course “ Short course” located on the North West side of the Community Golf Course property.

If anyone has any information about this short course we would love to hear from you as it hasn't existed for many, many years.

The report was in Earl Shocks report to then parks commissioner Mr. William Madden for 1932.
