Due to State Orders on the COVID19 pandemic and each Local Health Districts interpretations of the State Orders we will be forced to adapt our 2020 Events Season in several different ways.  The first and likely most substantial way is we will not be able to have any Shotgun Starts.  An additional adjustment will be the method in determining how a Golf Ball is holed which occasionally will be subjective in nature.  With respect to additional social distancing protocols, team formats will be suspended, host facilities will currently only be able to provide single rider golf carts unless they have petitions between players and food and beverage options will be greatly affected.

With all these restrictions to consider we will shift all events for the foreseeable future to association play days which will unfortunately have a much smaller field size and no type of organized competition as required.

Generally, these play days, will be open to any gender or age and only available through online registration.  We are currently working with our Golf Facilities to develop these play days and will release the dates as they become available.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as your association tries to navigate responsibly through these uncertain times.

Be Well and Keep it in the Short Grass!

With no golf on television yet, and no way to travel to distant locations to play.  Our weekend golf fix comes from Pine Valley Golf Club just outside of Philadelphia, PA.  In 1962 Gene Littler took on Bryan Nelson in Shells Wonderful World of Golf.  Enjoy !

Even though gyms, and some courses, are still closed there is still plenty that can be done to work on your golf game.  We are offering some different programs to work on your game but today I wanted to talk about Sprint Interval Training (SIT).  SIT is a type of training that can produce amazing results and can be done with little to no equipment right at home.  I am going to lay out a sample workout but right now we are offering free at-home programming so contact us if you would like a built out program.

• When your score can’t be verified by another person
• While being coached on the course
• When you play using non-conforming clubs, non-conforming balls, or non-conforming tees;
• When you don't play the required number of holes, Less than 6 for 9, less than 14 for 18.  For the holes you haven’t played, you post net par for the hole.
• And when you are not playing your own ball — scrambles, shambles or foursomes (alternate shot).

And remember...A key tenet of the World Handicap System is that it is based on the fact that a you will try to make the best score at every hole in every round. 

So you post just about everything and that includes scores when you play Preferred Lies or adapting to modified Holes due to the Coronavirus !
