We will need volunteers for registration, breakfast, etc. Louise has a committee for the luncheon. I would like to see some new faces and give some of us a break from the State Championship.

Hello.
     The tournament is coming along fine. I appreciate all those who have volunteered their time to make this a memorable tournament.
     This Thursday will be the Monthly meeting and I will be confirming all times and dates for volunteers. You should have received your list from Mary.
     Spotters need to attend a meeting this Mon at 1:00 at the Grille. We will go over the duties of spotting.
     I will discuss rules with those who are playing after the meeting on Thursday. It may benefit you to stay and review some important rules that you may have forgotten or that you need clarification.
     Holly Scott will be organizing an effort to get potted plants from those who can lend them to us to use on the women's tee boxes. Hoping to brighten up the course.
     We will be asking for volunteers to come on Sunday evening to set up the registration tables, etc. Players will be arriving at 6:00 AM to register. We should also put out the plants on the course. I also need a few volunteers to set out the hole sponsor signs. Remember those who signed up for this Thursday to arrive early. I have forgotten the "theme" for this Thursday but I am sure that Mary will be reminding:)
BIG ITEM
     All players and volunteers are invited to a Celebration party on Friday at the Grille at 6:00. We will have a barbecue with hotdogs and hamburgers. Beer and wine will be also be complimentary. Come and celebrate the hard work people have been doing and to gear up for the big day on Monday. I will have tournament shirts available for $20. We can look mighty fine all drressed alike and showing Bangor Women's pride. The party is all free........so be there.......it's party time!!!

Hi, anyone wanting to play in the Tee Cup on Aug 20 and 21 (Wed and Thurs) need to sign up in the ladies locker room by Friday, July 25 by noon. I also need a check made out to me (Brenda Crosby) for $65.00 by that time also. You can leave any checks with Brian in the pro shop.

Hello,
     Here is some information on our upcoming events:
     I would like to meet with players and volunteers for the Championship to be held on Aug. 4-6 this Thursday after golf in the Grille. I will be giving updates and assigning more specific responsibilities for Volunteers.

Tee Cup
     This year's tee cup will be played Aug. 20 at PVCC and Aug. 21 at Bangor. I will be meeting soon with the PVCC rep and making decisions on entry fees and format. Many things will be the same, but with Harris golf taking over, this may effect costs.
     We decided last year to wear the same "pistachio" Tee Cup shirts this year. If you want to order another one OR you did not play last year, you need to sign up in the locker for a new shirt. Diane Herring will be placing that order on July 25. The cost is $30.
     The sign-up sheet is also in the locker room. We need to know how many are participating by July 25.
     I will be putting together a small committee along with Brenda and myself. This will be discussed among the executive board. We will once again need people to help with the banquet, registration, gifts, etc.
     I will try to keep you updated as this progresses.

Championship
     Bangor has to date 18 participants in this year's State Championship. Many others have volunteered to assist with: the banquet, registration, spotting, scorers, awards ceremony, breakfast, and other duties throughout the 3 day tournament. At this time I would like to meet with these people on Thursday to discuss specifics.
     The Executive Committee for the Tournament have been:
          Marilyn Rice, Brenda Crosby, Janice White, and Jean young
     Chairs for Committees are:
     Sponsors:     Marie MacMillan and Lynn Hunt
     Banquet:          Janice White and Kathy Constantine
     Breakfast:          Rachel LaPointe
     Hospitality:          Jan Skaggs
     Volunteers:       Mary Crawford
          Registration:     Brenda Crosby
     Publicity:          Sandy Meehan
     Awards Ceremony:     Lynn Hunt and Holly Scott
     Starters:          Dick LaPointe
     Rules:               Brian Enman

Committee chair meetings will be held on Mondays until the tournament. I will be sending out the meeting times and days for these people.

Hope this helps keep you up to date with all that's going on in the BWGC.

Hi Golf Girlies!

Even if you were at Ladies Day today, you need to read what follows. A form for the invitational appeared after some of you had left and information for the tournament is needed. (handicaps, cart requests) Also, if riding, a $13 cart fee needs to be added to $50 registration.

For those that don't know yet about the Waterville Country Club invitational tournament, it will be held on Thurs. July 24th, with a shot gun start at 9am.

Our BWGC ladies day is canceled at Bangor Muni due to the GBO, so for those interested, we are signing up for the member guest. Cost is $50 plus $13 for a cart if you want to ride.

I am in charge of sign up, so please make checks payable to Kathy Constantine. Although the deadline is July 1, I need you to sign up no later than next ladies day (June 12) so I can send our info and payment as soon as possible. (for those requesting carts the number is limited.) If you will not be playing next Thurs.and are planning to go to Waterville, please call me.

After next Thurs. if you haven't signed up and plan on going, you can pick up a form in the locker room and send payment on your own.

Thanks!

Happy birdies, bogeys, pars and GRUBS!

Kathy Constantine

Hi, the spring meeting will be at the golf course on Wednesday, May 7. Dinner at 6:00 drinks at 5:30. It will be a buffet for $10. Please let me know if you can attend the meeting as Tina needs a count by Friday, May 2 my e-mail is lbdski@aol.com or call 843-7656.

Could everyone be thinking about getting someone to sponsor a hole for the summer. The price is $125 and we will need a lot of money because of the WMSGA tournament in August. Looking forward to a great season and all this nice weather should be getting the course in good shape. If ladies want to meet on Thursday, May 1 at 9 a.m. and their is enough you could hold some sort of a tournament. Looking forward to the spring meeting and getting out and swinging a club! See you on Wednesday.

Brenda

will be updated once more on Oct. 26th. So any rounds played in Maine
after the 23rd...do not post. If you go to another state that is still

Tee Cup Rules

Overall

All four rounds of the Tee Cup will be net match play. That means hole-by- hole scoring using handicaps. The visiting team will have honors on the first hole of play. After that, please play honors based who wins the hole or has the lowest net score.

At the end of each of the first three nines, teams will record 1 point for a win, 1/2 point for a tie, or 0 points for a loss. At the end of the fourth round, teams will record 2 points, 1 point, or 0 points.

The team with the most points wins the Tee Cup trophy. In the event of a tie, the championship will be decided by comparing round 4, then moving backward as necessary to rounds 3, 2, & 1.

AT PVCC

SCRAMBLE (holes 1-9)
Both team players drive on every hole. The team selects the more favorable of the two balls and plays two more shots from there. The same format continues until one team member holes out. Preferred lies of one club length, no closer to the hole, will be allowed everywhere but the putting surface as long as you create the same condition; rough in rough, bunker in bunker.

TEAM BEST BALL (holes 10-18)
Every player plays her own ball. When a hole is completed, the player with the better net score will record her score for the team. Preferred lies of one club length, no closer to the hole, will be allowed in your own fairway only.

AT BANGOR

ALTERNATE SHOT (holes 1-9)
In alternate shot, as the name suggests, you will never hit the same ball two times in a row.
Both team players drive on every hole. Then for the second shot, you both alternate balls and hit your partner's ball. After both players have hit a drive and a second shot, the team selects the more favorable of the two balls. Whomever this ball belongs to, hits it next for the third shot. The other ball is picked up. The team continues to alternate shots until one team member holes out. Preferred lies of one club length, no closer to the hole, will be allowed in your own fairway only.

INDIVIVUAL MATCH (holes 10-18)
During this round, two separate matches are taking place. Every competitor plays her own ball. Preferred lies of one club length, no closer to the hole, will be allowed in your own fairway only.

HOLE - IN - ONE
