This is to announce that the Woodlawn Golf Tournament scheduled for tomorrow at Pelham Bay has been canceled. Two more members dropped out so we are down to 10 and Jimmy said we’d need 12 to have a tournament. Please inform those you know may not read e-mails regularly. Note, those who were signed up and ready to play can still just show up and play. We have canceled all of the reservations with no problem, and they said there will be plenty of open slots should anyone still want to play. As a last resort, I did try to see if they could switch the tournament to Sunday where it looks to be almost 50 degrees and sunny, but they didn’t have ample spots for us. I am sending this on behalf of Jim who is at work today.

See everyone next week for our first individual tournament on Pelham Bay.

Have a nice weekend!

Best,

Bill Marshall

The weather forecast for next week makes it quite probable that we will be able to have our kick-off 2 man scramle. I will stay in contact with the golf course management and update you with the course status in the middle of the week. Meanwhile, I will take sign-ups for both the Partners Scramble, and the April 4th tournament (8:12, Pelham Bay). Please respond by Wednesday evening the 25th if you wish to play next Saturday…Thanks, Jim​ ​

The schedule for this year has been posted in the Schedule tab.

Just a last reminder that we are having our meeting tomorrow (December 10) at The Aqueduct on Katonah Ave, starting at 7:30 PM. In addition to the topics discussed in the last email, please add election of officers. See you tomorrow.

​We will be having a meeting next Wednesday, December 10th at 7:30 PM. We will be meeting upstairs at The Aqueduct on Katonah Avenue. Beyond regular business this will be an opportunity to weigh in on some issues that have come up this year, including

• Schedule

• where and when tournaments should be scheduled for next year
• number of stapleford tournament

Championships

• Setting due dates and rules in a manner that an appeal cannot throw off entire schedule
• Should handicap reductions apply to Memorial and President’s Prize

New members

• attracting new members
• handicap rules new members
• eligibility new members for championships

Dinner Dance

• location
• live band vs DJ

It took three rounds so a big congratulations to Joe Brown and Donal Maher for their win over Dominick Mulligan and Frank Finnegan in the Partner’s Championship.

Another reminder that the award dinner/dance will be held on Friday, November 14th at the Manhattan Club atop Rosie O’Grady’s (52nd and 7th Ave). That is a Friday night and the doors open at 8:00 PM. Members of the club go free as part of their membership dues. The price for guests is $100. It is always a great evening and we really need people to come and bring a guest or two if you can, perhaps even some potential members. Please call Tom O’Meara, 718-585-8737 or his cell 917-299-2249, to let him know you are coming or if you have any questions.

From Stephen Carey:

Unfortunately Pat Whelan will not be able to go to Myrtle Beach next week due to an untimely death in Ireland. Our best wishes are with Pat. If anyone is interested in filling Pat’s spot on the trip contact Gerry Murphy or Stephen Carey.

On Saturday, Woodlawn will hold its final event of the year. Coincident with the Woodlawn Partners best-ball, we will play a 16 man interclub match against Crown City to determine the winner of the 2014 Links Founders Cup competition.

As there has been uncertainty on how this tournament will be conducted because of the match, I would urge everyone attending to get to the Links well ahead of time. The organizers of the day are Tom Bennett and Damien Sweeney.
​A
ny questions should be directed to them as I will not be playing on Saturday. Anticipate that you may not be paired with your partner, and there will be a lot of scorecards to be sorted out at the end of play. I ask that you make an extra effort to keep a neat, legible scorecard. The standard of recording scores has fallen to a new low this year. There are many inaccurate, incomplete, illegible and unsigned cards submitted each tournament, and that has to change!

As of 6 PM Thursday, the following have either informed Tom Bennett or me that they are playing:

D Curtin
M Curtin
Elias
Sweeney
Moss
P O’Meara
Scales and 2 guests
Maher
Lafferty
Breen
Brosnan
K O’Sullivan
Andrasick
Flynn
Talbot
T O’Meara
Marshall
Bennett
Browne
McCrimlisk
Stapleton

If you signed up and somehow are not on this list get back to me. Or if you haven’t signed up and might want to play, you have until 11 AM Friday morning to get back to me.
