Dear Members,
Welcome back! It has been wonderful to see familiar friends and meet new faces over the last few days! Now that we've shaken the dust off our clubs, we would like to share a few updates and reminders:
Course Schedule
Parking-lot paving and striping will be taking place Monday, April 17th, and Monday, April 24th. The club will be closed both days as there will be no entry or exit to the facility. We are looking forward to providing a smooth ride in and out of the club to everyone!
Monday play will begin May 1st, with tee times starting at 12:00pm, through October. Please keep in mind we do have some outside events on Mondays throughout the year, so please make sure to book a tee time to ensure golf course availability.
The Driving Range will open for the season on April 4th, weather permitting.
Checking In
A friendly reminder to all Members: our policy going forward states that you *must check into the golf shop* before your round, please let our staff know if you are walking or riding and how many holes you will be playing. The check-in process is imperative to a smooth operation of the golf course, tee sheet, and an overall positive Member experience. We also ask that guests check in prior to their round and sign in on the guest log. Each guest may play up to twice per month, and a maximum of six times per year.
Handicap Committee Notes
We have installed a new handicap posting terminal just below the television outside of the pro shop. We also encourage everyone to download the “GHIN” app in the app store on their device for posting scores when playing away from the club. You must have an active GHIN handicap through Silo Point CC to participate in club events.
If you have any questions about handicapping or score posting, please reach out to Tony or Shawn and they can assist you.
Here is the Handicap Committee's "Tip of the month":
Adjustment of Hole Scores
For a player with an established Handicap Index, the maximum score for each hole played is limited to a net double bogey, calculated as follows:
Par of the Hole + 2 Strokes + Any handicap stroke(s) that the player receives on the hole.
There is no limit to the number of holes in a round where a net double bogey adjustment may be applied.
Upcoming Events
Beginning in April, we will be sending an email every TUESDAY covering all Tournaments and Events. We will share recent event results as well as upcoming event information.
Our first event of the season will be our Opening Day Cocktail Party (Friday evening) and Shotgun (Saturday). The party and tournament are open to ALL members (21+)! We hope everyone will join us for the cocktail party on Friday to celebrate a new season, welcome our new members, and rally on a great field for Saturday's tournament. All Members are complimentary for the open bar and hors d'Oeuvres on Friday night. Please click below to RSVP and learn more:
