The Confirm List for the Find Your Swing event has been updated. This is a 4-person team event. Look at the list to see if there are any singles, 2-somes, or 3-somes that you would like to partner with. Send an email to Joe Lerch or Frank McLaughlin and we will try to pair you up. I will start pairing up teams on 28 March in order to start loading the roster into our Tournament Manager software.
The Wait Lists for Ryder Cup, Pick Your Partner, and Best Ball have been updated with current signups. I have also updated all Wait Lists with a new color code scheme to help eliminate any questions I have received about if a partner on the wait list is also on the confirmed list.
Same note on pairing up teams. If you see a team that is not full and you want to pair with them, send me or Frank an email and we will try to pair you up.

The General Membership meeting will be held at Whitmoor CC in their outside covered pavilion on Wednesday March 31st. There will be 2 meetings, so we can divide the membership allowing for social distancing in an outdoor environment.
Divisions 1, 2 and 4 will meet at 11:00 AM and Divisions 3, 5 and 9 will meet at 1:00 PM. Feel free to come 30 minutes early to your meeting so you may view the Metro Seniors apparel that will be on display for you to order for the 2021 season. Pro-Am will be selling some golf equipment/balls, you can meet with your Division VP, get your discount cards, view the scheduling program and much, much, more.
Each meeting should not last more than 1 hour and please only attend when it’s your divisions schedule, to insure a reasonable attendance. Regardless of weather, the meeting will take place. Please bring a mask.
Recently, many of you have received emails that appear to be legitimate from Metro Senior Board members requesting that you purchase “Gift Cards” and send them to the sender. This is a scam!! If anyone sends you an email requesting you send anyone “Gift Cards” please delete the emails and DO NOT REPLY!
There are many of you who believe the sender is being “hacked!” This is not what is happening. Whether these notes are coming from an email, on Facebook or Instagram, are not breaches, but rather scammers trying to mislead you and scam you out of money.
When in doubt, do not reply, but call the person on the phone and ask them about the note you just received. I’m certain they will say they never sent the note. This activity will continue, no matter what we do, as long as we publish everyone’s email address on a public list. The board will be addressing this issue to find a suitable solution.
“Eagle Eye” Al Clarke spotted an incorrect address in the Events Calendar.
Apparently the venue address for Fore Honor (Deer Creek) was linked incorrectly. Now fixed.
If you exported the calendar to your personal calendar before today (March 7, 2021) please check that the address is for Fore Honor in House Springs, MO.
If you spot an error anywhere in the Website, please let us know. You can comment on the page to give everyone notice. We want accurate and timely information on the site. Your spotting of errors, broken links, or other issues will help.
