Special Events Status

by

The 2020 Special Events are filling up. However, don’t be deterred from signing up for an event that has a Wait List. We cannot guarantee a player on the Wait List will be confirmed. But we typically move about 20 players from the Wait List to the confirmed list due to cancellations. A Wait List with enough players helps us keep the event full. So there should be room. If you do not get confirmed, your entry fee will be refunded less the credit card fee of $2.00 per player per event.

Portable Course Handicap Calculator

by

Metro Seniors (through OurGolfStats) does all the work to generate your Course Handicap for each week of competition for Divisions 1 – 5. Simply login to OurGolfStats through your Division and Click on Reports #2 Course Handicaps and Net Score Worksheet. Each Division, all courses, all players.

How to use OurGolfStats? CLICK HERE

However, we know some of you play more than Metro Seniors. Want to know your course handicap anywhere, any time? There’s an APP for that. (Actually a web page.)

This is a simple online calculator. Enter the current Handicap Index (or Guide). Enter the course information for the specific tees (rating, slope and par). and “CALCULATE”. Output is the course handicap.

Special Events Update – 10 Jan 2020

The Founders’ Day event is 100.0% full. A Wait list has been started and has been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. There is a max of 144 players for this event.

The Last Chance event is 80.0% full. There is a max of 128 players for this event.

You can find the lists by going to the top tool bar and clicking on Schedules and Results and click on the Special Events in the drop down window and then click on Confirm-Wait-Pairings-Instructions. Pick the event to see the lists. Or go to the side bar and click on Special Events.

I would suggest that you double check the lists if you signed up for any of the events. There were 754 players that paid over the 6 events. Generating the Event Lists and Wait Lists is pretty much a manual process and the possibility of errors do exist. Do it now so we can make any corrections early.

Updates will be posted as new signups come in.

 I received sad news Friday my old friend and Metro 3 member John Gerfen passing. On 1/2/2020 John passed away, he was having trouble again with new liver from what I was told. His visitation is this Wednesday, January 8th, at Schrader Funeral Home on Manchester Rd. in Baldwin. Schrader Funeral Home web site has more info.

I’ve known John for 30 yrs., from work at National Archives Amid: (NARA) and have played a lot of golf and golf trips. With John and 2 others we join the League back in 2007. He will be missed, John was a good friend.
