December 4, 2011 -- Year In Review

December 4, 2011 -- Year In Review Ed Kelby

Changes for this year:

  • The League membership was capped at 200.
  • SPD Senior Center helped more with the Membership and Banquet registration.
  • The Two Player Lowest Score Tournament was replaced with a Two Player Best Team Tournament (Scramble).
In May, a survey was taken to find out how the League was doing and to get suggestions for improving the League. We received at lot of positive feedback as well as suggestions on how the League could be improved.

Over 3400 rounds of golf were booked at Schaumburg Golf Club and Walnut Greens. Even with the rainouts, high temperatures and "cart path only" days, we completed over 2700 rounds of golf.

In the League sponsored chip-in-pot, 80 golfers chipped in 105 times and shared $641. On the average, 145 golfers signed up for each of the 6 Special Events. The 118 winners of those events shared over $2200 in prize money and the top golfers received a trophy. On the golf improvement side of things, Pepi Irwin, Director of Golf Operations, provided 4 free one-hour Golf Clinics to improve our game.

I would like to thank the League members who volunteered their time and talents to work on the Committee and the Schaumburg Park District Senior Center, Schaumburg Golf Club and Walnut Greens for their continued help and support.

Happy Holidays and a Healthy New Year.

Co-Chairman
