Golden Pheasant Scores

I think most of us had a good outing with the weather not too hot. The ruff at Golden Pheasant was higher then normal, making it hard to find your ball and if you did find it, it was a challenge to hit it out of the ruff, let alone getting any distance.

Next Wednesday we are playing at Westwood. If you are planning to play next week please e-mail me direct and let me know by Friday noon, tomorrow. If you are not sure but think you might play, it is better to call and say you are playing. Cancellations are easier to do than trying to add a person when the schedule is full and the course has already been notified of the number of players.

Week 12 Rancocas

The same as last week, on Friday by noon I will need to know if you are planning to play Golden Pheasant. E-mail me directly ONLY if you are playing. I do not need to know or need another e-mail if you are not playing.

If you are not sure but think you will, it is better to say you are playing, as I may not be able to fit you in on the schedule after I have called the course. 

Thank you everyone who played today for showing up on time. I know I said to be at the course 15 minutes before your Tee Time today, somehow the course was running 10 minutes ahead of schedule. For those who had to rush to the first tee without warming up, I apologize. I hope every one enjoyed themselves today. It is great to be outdoors again. The weather was pretty good and low humidity. As mentioned earlier we are not doing Handicaps or pars, birdies, and eagles until week four at Pinelands. Below are the scores for today. Note: I think Butch kept his score card from last year, another 83. Butch, nicely played.

Have a great week,

Mike Underwood

WE ARE BACK - JUNE 24th - PLEASE READ ALL- RESPOND ACCORDINGLY -

We are scheduled for Rancocas next week, June 24. The pros at the courses we talked with would like a player’s count on Friday prior to the Wednesday we are scheduled to play. That means I will need to know who is playing by noon on Friday.  

Due to the uncertainty of the virus, I know we will not have the numbers to play that we normally do.

I am presently working on the call list. We have some new members and members who at the present time are not able to play this year because of medical reasons. If you are in the same situation and have not contacted me that you may not be able to play this year please do so. I have told those players who will not be on the list to call me directly if they should want to play for any particular week, they will still be on my E-mail distribution list. 

The cost for Rancocas and Golden Pheasant is $42.00.

There is no shotgun start, Tee Times only, be there on time to pay, sign-in and be ready to play. 

There are not enough carts for everyone to have one person per cart. I will try to clarify how this will work. 

For a three-sum there will be two carts. Two people can ride together and one in the other cart. Or one person per cart and one walks. 

For a four-sum there will be three carts. Two people can ride together and one each in the other two carts. Or one person per cart and one walks.

If you have a friend you wish to play and ride with, contact that friend and confirm that he is willing to ride with you. When you confirm with whom you are playing, let me know at that time who you will be playing with. 

Otherwise I will do the normal scheduling and you will need to decide who is riding together or walking.

I will not be collecting or handling score cards. Select one person in the group to e-mail me the scores when they return home, do not presume that some will do it. We will not be counting Pars, Birdies or Eagles for posting.

We also will not be doing 65 Club handicaps until everyone is back and feel it is safe to play. 

For this week I am asking everyone who is playing at Rancocas to contact me prior to noon on Friday. I do not need to know if you are not playing Rancocas. This week you do not need to contact your caller. 

The predicted weather for Wednesday is a high of 87 degrees, humid with possible showers. I do not know what water or snacks will be at the course, so I suggest you bring plenty of water and any snacks you wish to eat. 

Most of us have not been out playing, so relax, no pressure, have fun and be safe,

If you have any question, you may E-Mail me,

Play Update - Westwood Cancelled

Who knows when we will return to golf for the 65 Club. Still too many restriction and to much risk from Convid-19.

We are still unable to play as a league. If you and a friend wish to play at Westwood on Wednesday they have several tee times available. FYI, A friend was at Westwood on Monday and saw two golfer who where not related driving in the same cart. The tee times were at about 10 minutes apart.
Due to the financial losses, most courses that charged forty to fifty dollars are now charging between sixty and seventy dollars. 
 If you are playing, Please support the courses that we normally play.

 If anything changes and going forward I will keep you updated.

If you and a partner wish to play, you will need to contact the course and schedule your own Tee Time.

Thank you, Stay Safe, Stay Well,

Below is a great video of which we have either saw or experienced while out on the course, thanks to Bud Lamphere.

Golf Update - May 9, 2020

We were scheduled to play White Oaks this coming Wednesday. Kevin Morita the golf pro at White Oaks said he would try to accommodate us if we wished to play. We are still not ready to go out as a league, but if you wish to play, you may make your own tee time at Whites Oaks by going on line or calling 856-697-8900. 

As a league we will not start playing again until all restrictions for four sums are lifted. 

The reason is that tee times are every 15 minutes for two people along with social distancing.

If you are again playing golf, Please support the courses where we play.

Thank you, Be Safe, Stay Well,

Mike Underwood

Cancellation of ALL Five April, 2020 Golf Outings

With much regrets and the safety of everyone in the golf group we will be cancelling all five of April’s golf outings. This is to go along with the 65 Club Closure which is addressed below. We will address all of May’s outings starting May 6th in the middle of April to see what the status of the virus is at that time.

As of now all golf courses are open but restricted to golf only, most have implement guidelines on registration, health safety, no walk-on, scheduled tee times only, etc. If you still wish to play you will need to make you own Tee Time. I will not be playing the month of April unless the virus somehow goes away. My concern is not only the sanitation of signing in, cleaning of golf carts or handling of clubs, it is also the course itself. Knowing that golfer sometimes spit or that smokers leave their butts on the ground, and there is a good chance that my ball may roll across or through it makes me worry the most.

I am passing this on to let everyone know some of the steps the golf courses are taking to try and stay open and keep everyone safe. I really like information # 1 - No carts, must walk!

Take care, stay safe and if possible stay healthy,,

For those who did not get into golf shape, practice your putting, or swing a club,  you now have another month to do so. Try to stay healthy. Hopefully I will see you all in May.
