Captain's Comment

 

Welcome back Members for the 2010 season of Golf at Woodland Greens Golf Club. As the weather improves day by day, the 2010 golfing season is just around the corner. Whether watching the Masters on television or hitting the links for the first time, golf seems to be the buzz each Spring. This year promises to be another great year on the links at Woodland Greens Golf Course.

Our monthly newsletter is provided to you to be an informative tool to what's going on at Woodland Greens. I do hope that our newsletter, "Turf Talk," will help you plan ahead and get involved with the many tournaments and events that we have scheduled for our upcoming 2010 Golfing Season. It will be published on the first of each month and sent directly to your home via e-mail. I do hope you will enjoy it. So be sure to keep yourself updated with all the upcoming Events,Tournaments, Tournament Results, Specials, and latest news by visiting at www.woodlandgc.com.

As always, Woodland has planned a season of great golf for our Members and Guests. Our season begins this month, with the annual Season KICK-OFF", which will be held on Friday, April 9th, at 7PM. Please come join us for free Appetizers & Beer. You will be able to meet the Tournament Committee. If anyone is interested in helping out, this is a good time to get to know the members of the Committee and your services will be greatly appreciated. I encourage everyone to attend this meeting. I am looking for a Handicap Chairman. Please see me if you are interested!

With confidence that this will be an exciting and rewarding year for us, I offer you my best wishes for an enjoyable, successful season at Woodland Greens Golf Club.

Hope to see you this golfing season!!

Simple Rules of the Clubhouse
  • Sign in Sheet: Before heading out to play, a Sign in Sheet is there for you.

  • Submit Score: After your round, please post your score (both 9 & 18 hole scores). Handicap Revision's are done the 1st & 15th of every month.

  • Ghin: With the 2010 golf season upon us, the RIGA would like to announce some changes to the handicap revision schedule. Revisions will now take place on the 1st and 15th of every month. The first in-season revision will be on April 1st. Every two weeks, your Handicap will be revised and sent to you via e-mail.

  • Smokefree Public Place and Workplace Law: As you are all aware, on June 29, 2004, Governor Donald L. Carcieri signed into law a bill passed by the RI General Assembly that prohibits smoking in public places and workplaces in Rhode Island. The "Public Health and Workplace Safety Law " took effect on March 1, 2005. This law will protect Rhode Islanders at work and in public places from the effects of secondhand smoke. The law ensures a smoke-free environment for business owners, employees, and the public. Rhode Islanders will reap the health and economic benefits of being smoke-free.



    So Remember: NO SMOKING IN THE CLUBHOUSE OR ON THE FRONT CLUBHOUSE STAIRS.


Simple Rules of the Golf Course

Look Ahead, Don't Look Back....This will move play along nicely and make your Golfing experience much more enjoyable...

Golf Tip of the Month: Work on your short game

The best way to lower your scores is to work on your short game. Players spend too much time on the driving range hitting balls and not enough time practicing their shots around the green. The short game makes up 60% of your golf game.
