We have completed 3 months of league golf and have two more months to enjoy golfing together.

In the month of August, the only event will be our newest event, the Two Person Best Score Tournament. This tournament will be played on August 19th. Points will be given for this event, like all the other events. Refer to the 2008 Golfer's Guide that was given out at the beginning of the season for an explanation of this event and details on how this event is played and scored.

All the points that have been won are posted at the golf course and on the web site. The more points you earn, the more money you will be awarded at the banquet.

The Banquet will be held on October 7th at the Seville Restaurant. Additional information will be forthcoming.

We are now in the third month of the Golf League with two months remaining to the end of the season.

In the month of July there are two more events. The first is the Four Club Tournament on July 8th. In this event, a round of golf is played using only four clubs (and yes, the putter is a club!). Points will be awarded for the winner in each flight.

The other event for the month is our Best Team Tournament, a scramble, on July 29. The team for this tournament is made up of one player from each of the four flights. It is necessary in this event to have at least 3 players of the team play. Otherwise the whole team will be disqualified.

This is our second month of the golf league.

The weather in May gave us some different challenges of play. Let's hope June will offer better playing conditions in the weather department.

There are two Special Events in June, one being our Photo Day which will be held on June 10th. Before teeing off a member of the Membership Committee will be taking the pictures. The pictures will be posted on the website and at the Awards Banquet in October.

The second event for the month is June 17. The Par Three Tournament will be played at the Walnut Greens which is located at 1150 North Walnut in Schaumburg. Also included in this event is the Closest to the Pin Tournament. Closest to the Pin will be played on the 8th hole that day.

Points will be earned in the usual manner in the players division. The winner of each flight and Closest to the Pin will have the option of a trophy or money which is presented at the Awards Banquet.

The weather this year was a little wetter than what we would have liked but still another great season of senior golf is behind us. The League changes were:

• Special Event points payout changed from modified Illinois PGA system to a dollar a point.
• A Two Person Alternate Shot was added to the Special Events.

• Player Statistics... displays golf data for a selected player in tabular and graphic format. The data includes the Adjusted Gross Score for the last 20 rounds (including date and course), Course Handicap and Net Score.
• Slideshows... mini-slideshows composed of several photos of League members taken at Special Events.
• Golf 411... golf tips and senior fitness information provided by Pepi Irwin (SGC Director of Golf) and Alexian Orthopedics Institute respectively.
• News Articles... written by Peg Dunn, League Publicity.

Many thanks to the current and previous years Committee volunteers for their hard work that make the League what it is today.

Have a great Holiday and a Happy, Healthy New Year!!!
