by John O'Meara

Hi Fellow Woodlawn Members! Please e-mail me (bmarshallsports) by tomorrow (Tuesday, April 3rd) if you wish to play in our first stroke tournament this Saturday at Pelham Bay beginning 8:36 am. Everyone needs to show up 30 minutes prior to this tee time. Those already signed up from last weekend’s 2 ball scramble for this coming weekend are:

Mike Curtin, Dan Curtin, Thierry Elias, Tom Tuffy, Kieren O’Sullivan, Kiernan Brosnan, Joseph Firth, Jimmy Murphy, Martin Moss, Gerry Murphy, Micky McCourt, Pat Laferty, John Solon, and Pat Smyth. I believe that others wanting to play include Dean Marriccini and Stephen Carey, but please confirm.

I would love to be there next weekend, but unfortunately my son and I will be walking all 4 days at the Masters… somebody has to do this right? In my absence, Seamus Finnerty has offered to step up and organize the event this weekend. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact him at seamusfin0725@aol.com, or on his cell at 914-649-1196.

First Tournament Saturday March, 31st

by John O'Meara

Next Saturday, March 31st, is our opening event for the 2012 Woodlawn Golf Season. It’s 2 Ball Scramble Event at Pelham Bay. First tee time is 8:04 am. All golfers should arrive at least 20 minutes prior to that first tee time to sign in. Tomorrow (Monday, March 26th) is the deadline to sign up for this first event. Please e-mail me at bmarshallsports@aol.com if you plan to participate. If you have a partner, please send me who it is so that I can begin to organize foursomes. If you don’t have a partner, just let me know and I will pull together a list of “singles” that we can pair up for the event. This event is a lot of fun, and the only scramble we run each year, so try to make it!!

Communication for the 2012 Season

by John O'Meara
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Most of the communication this year will be done via e-mails. We have 77 active members in Woodlawn. It’s simply not practical to expect phone communication on an ongoing basis. The 2012 Woodlawn Schedule has 17 events planned, and is on the site now for your referral.
One area on our site that needs your immediate attention to is our “Contact List” on the website.Please take a look at it ASAP!! We have 77 members, but we are missing e-mail addresses from 20 of the 77 members. Clearly, they will not be receiving important information going forward if their correct e-mail address is not on the contact list. Please inform those members you see that are not on the list so that they are aware the need to update the contact list to include them. I will be trying to reach them as well on my own by phone to get these. Additionally, there are 8 members who have no phone number listed. Again, when it comes time to make certain calls based upon an individual need, we will access to these numbers. Please e-mail this information so that we can add it to the contact list. If you have “revisions” of e-mail addresses of phone numbers you would like to make please send those as well.
Finally, if you do not have a computer, and need to call me to sign up for an event, my cell phone is 917-855-0660. However, again, I ask everyone to use e-mail as your main line of communication. It’s a much more organized manner to produce effective results on behalf of the entire membership!
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible next weekend for a great day of golf, and of course, a few brews thereafter!
Have a great week!
