NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYS

LET’S PLAY 9!

Everyone should be aware of the need to post scores for 9 holes played. We have advised in previous articles that each 9 holes on both our (and all) courses are rated separately. When two 9 holes scores are posted the system combines them into an 18 holes differential. They can be any two 9 holes rounds on either of our or any courses.

When playing the same 9 twice your score should be posted as separate rounds. For example, when playing the North front 9 twice, post the first 9 played and then the second 9 played. The system will ask which 9 you played. The reason for this is the difference in course ratings for each 9, front and back. The differences are particularly significant on the South course.

This reminder is also offered in view of the plan to install new cart paths at Raintree and that will require closing 9 holes at a time. The plan is to have players play the open nine holes twice. However, it is likely that some players may elect to just play 9 and skip the replay of that 9. The expected increase of players only playing 9 holes suggests that we remind players of the need to post that 9 holes score.

Please contact the Handicap Committee with any questions.
