Sister's tournament

Ladies,

I received an email that the 18ers are looking for at least 5 more 9ers to pair up with 5, 18ers.

The Sister's tournament is October 16th, at 9am. The sign up board is located in front of the proshop.

If you have been on the fence whether or not to play, come on out and join us. It will be a great day! We will be playing 13 holes and it will be a fun game.

Ballots/Club Tenewal Forms/Volunteer Forms

Ladies,

I want to remind you of a few things:

1. Tomorrow, Sweeps begin at 9am.

2. Please call the proshop the Tuesday mornings to check on frost delays or cart path only conditions.

3. Please remember to call the proshop AND the other members of your golf group to let them know if you are canceling, ASAP.

4. Return your ballots before October 8th. Please put them in the large Lady 9er ballot box, not the small Lady 9ers box. Ask the golf attendant if you aren't sure.

5. Please put your renewal forms and volunteer forms in the regular small, Lady 9er box.

6. The next general meeting is October 8th, after Sweeps, at approximately12:15.

Thank you, Mary Heaton

Christmas Luncheon date change

Ladies,

The 9er board has changed the Christmas Luncheon to Friday, December 13th. We changed it because the SIR's Christmas party and the Men's 9er party were conflicting with our luncheon.

Please add it to your calendar.

Thank you, Mary Heaton

URGENT! SPENDING DEADLINE THIS SUNDAY!

This Sunday the 25th is the deadline for spending your sweeps winnings until after the transition to our new system is completed. I expect that will be the end of September. Any balance left in your account after August 25th will be issued to you later as a pro shop gift card. Below is a link to the July Pro Shop Ledger file - please check to see if you have a balance.

2019 Lady Niner Pro Shop Ledger

Good News! We are changing how our club handles payment of sweeps winnings. As of August 31, 2019 we will no longer be utilizing the “credit ledger” system that connects to LOP accounting and tracks all earnings and purchases. Starting in September, we will transition to a Gift Card system whereby your previous months’ winnings will be issued to you in the form of pre-paid money card. These cards will be available for pickup at the next month’s Lady Niner meeting. For example, your total winnings for September will be put onto a money card and held for you for pick up at the October club meeting.

As your Pro Shop Ledger Manager, I will continue to record all winnings onto a spreadsheet and post that to the website at the end of each month so that you can keep track of your own sweeps earnings. In order to implement this transition, YOU MUST STOP SPENDING OF YOUR CURRENT CREDIT BALANCES BY AUGUST 25, 2019!

Any balance left in your account after August 25th will be issued to you later as a pro shop gift card.

Once this new system is in place we will explore the option of issuing Food and Beverage Gift Certificates.

Please contact Cassi if you have any questions or concerns. Click on the link to access the July 2019 Pro Shop Credit Ledger.

Corena Green

Dear Lady Niners,

I want to personally thank all of you for volunteering for Corena Green. It was a successful tournament because of all your help and from the help of the Lady 18ers, Men's 18ers, Men's 9ers, Firebelle's, friends and neighbors. What an exciting day!

Lauren, you wished upon and par and looked what happened, your wish came true! You pushed for the last several years to host Corena Green and it finally came into fruition. It was your belief in us as a club that convinced the WNHGA directors to consider LOP as a host course. Lauren, you worked tirelessly and we are all in awe of you!

The decorations were beautiful and the food was tasty. I have never seen so many golf carts transferring people back and forth. It truly took a village to pull this tournament off. Ladies, you are amazing!

It was wonderful to witness these young women play the game of golf. I got to personally speak with a few of these girls and they shared with me that it was the most fun tournament they had ever experienced and that everyone was so nice.

So, thank you again, Ladies. You all helped to make it a special day for these promising young golfers!

Gratefully yours,

Mary Heaton, Captain

Request

Ladies,

It appears that someone hacked my email. If you get a request to send a gift card to the Veterans Association, please do not do it! They know my name and that I am the captain of the Lady Niners! Mary Heaton

Fall Twilight Update

Lady Niners,

I tried to get the date changed for the Fall Twilight, but each date I tried, the clubhouse and the sport lounge were in use. So, I know there are some of you who won't like the Fall Twilight and the Sister's Tournament, back to back, but my hands were tied.

The Fall Twilight will be on the original date of October 15th. Let's make the best of it Ladies!

MAY 2019 Lady Niner Pro Shop Credit Report

Hello everyone! The MAY 2019 Lady Niner Pro Shop Credit Report is finally ready and is posted to the website for your viewing until the June ledger is posted. The reason these are posting so late into the following month is because the accountant at LOP Admin is still undergoing training and sometimes she does not get to our ledger documents for 2-3 weeks. Hopefully this will get shorter. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Cassi

Spring Twilight--"Tee Time Through the Tulips"

Ladies,

A few reminders regarding the Spring Twilight: registration is at 2:30pm, where you will get your cards and tee assignments.

Mulligans can be purchased at the registration table. Two Mulligans, per person, maximum. They cannot be used on the greens.

A briefing of rules at 2:45pm and then, head to your assigned hole, with a shotgun at 3pm.

Once you finishing playing nine holes, head to the CLUBHOUSE, where you will turn in your scorecards in the entry way.

While you are waiting for the other golfers to come in, maybe purchase a drink. Once all the teams have returned, the Uke of the Pines, ukulele group will entertain before dinner is served.

Lauren, Mona and I have worked hard to plan this tournament. We hope you enjoy yourselves!

See you, tomorrow afternoon! Mary Heaton

Spring Twilight--"Tee Time Through the Tulips"

Ladies,

I forgot to mention, again, that this is a 3 CLUB, scramble! Please, only bring 3 clubs with you to the tournament. You can only use YOUR clubs. Do not bring your big bag of clubs. Use a buddy bag.

Thank you, Mary

Spring Twilight

Ladies,

There are a few reminders regarding the Spring Twilight. The first is, remember to bring only three clubs to the tournament.

Also, if you do not have an annual golf course membership, you need to pay the green fees before you register for the tournament.

Let's have a great time out there, Tuesday!

Mary Heaton

Problem with email sending

You may have noticed a delay in receiving reminders and announcements. The issue is being worked on. Thank you for your patience. Cassi

from Janet Trimble

In case you haven't noticed, it's wet out there. So if anyone chooses to play tomorrow, you're on your own, there will be no sweeps. Let's hope for some sunny and dry weather for next Tuesday, April 23rd.

Ladies,

Trish Miller signed up for the Spring Twilight and would like to be in a womens only group. Are there any of you who would like to join her? If you want to be in a ladies only group, head on down to the sports lounge and sign up with Trish!

Lady Niners Golf Field Trip to Auburn Valley GC

Lady Niners,

Yesterday, at the general meeting, I informed the ladies that we will NOT have a general meeting in the month of April. The reason being is the golf course will be closed for maintainance, on April 9th, the meeting day. It was my idea to still golf and have some fun doing it at another local course.

I called around and the best deal I could find was at Auburn Valley. We can get 9 holes of golf and a cart for $25, per person. It would be a shotgun start and 8:30, playing the front 9 holes. Since it will be a shotgun, we can then meet in their cafe and have lunch together. Of course, that would be optional.

Ladies, in order to make this fun day happen, I need an immediate response from you. If you would like to participate in this event, please email me and let me know ASAP, I have to get back to the manager, John. My email address is: missmary007@gmail.com

I think this would be a great day and I hope you will join me!

Mary Heaton, Captain

General Meeting, March 12, 2019

Ladies, Sweeps will be at 9:30, March 12th and there will be a general meeting following, at 12:30, in the Sport Lounge meeting room. I hope to see you all there!

Mary Heaton, captain
