Find Your Swing Special Event

by

We are 3 weeks away from the first Special Event of the season. Find Your Swing at Sunset Hills CC (Edwardsville, IL) on Monday, 19 April 2021. We currently have 120 players signed up. We have started the process of loading the roster information into our Tournament Manager software.

The Confirmed List has been updated to build the teams and loaded in the Metro Seniors web site. Or you can click here. The roster, team numbers, players, etc., may change depending on any cancellations or additions we have over the next 3 weeks. The goal is to publish the Pairings List on 13 April 2021 and post to the Metro Seniors web site.

Send any questions to myself (Joe Lerch) or Frank McLaughlin.

Special Events Confirm & Wait Lists updates as of 23 March 2021

by

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.

2021 Special Events Confirm & Wait Lists

by

The Confirm & Wait Lists have been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. The lists are through 31 January 2021. There have been a few signups today on 1 February 2021. These will be reflected in the next update.

You can find the list by going to the Metro Seniors Home/About Us page. Click on the Schedule and Results link in the top tool bar. Click on Special Events in the drop down menu. Click on the Confirm-Wait-Pairings-Instructions link. Then click on the event you want to look at. Or, go to the side bar on the Home/About Us page and click on Special Event Tournaments. Or click here.

There are some teams that have partners listed that have not signed up yet. Take a look at the Confirm & Wait Lists to see if your partners are listed. You can contact me, Joe Lerch jlwc@sbcglobal.net, if you think a partner is not listed. I can check the sign up software.

The first event, Find Your Swing, has plenty of room to signup. This is a great course to start off the new season. It will be held at a very nice Country Club, Sunset Hill, in Edwardsville, IL. It is a 4-person scramble and is loads of fun. Give it a try.

Several of the events are full and have a Wait List. Don’t let this stop you from signing up. We typically have around 20 cancellations for each event. We like a wait list to help fill the event. We can’t guarantee that you will make it in if you are on the wait list. But we have a pretty good record of everyone getting in. If we do have players still on the wait list after the event, refunds will be processed (less the $2 credit card fee).
