Captain's Comment

Where Did The Summer Go?

It is hard to believe that Fall is upon us and September has come to an end. It is remarkable how the days are becoming shorter. The temperatures are still pleasant, however, it is truly cooler in the mornings; a sure reminder that colder weather is on its way. With Fall slowly creeping in, some of the best golf weather is yet to come. Mother nature is not yet done and the Fall season has much more to offer. Just because summer has ended, don't think the golf season has as well.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the unfortunate circumstances regarding some of the damage to the fairways. We have been working diligently on rectifying the situation and will continue to do so throughout the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. The Greens, Aprons and Tees all came through after the brutal heat we experienced this summer. However, my main concern now are the fairways that I know in time will be back to normal. Thank you for your patience.

Our Member Guest went well with great golf, fine food and a few First time Winners!

The "End of the Season" League Banquets were held....The Men's "Wednesday" Night League, the Ladies "Wednesday" Night League and the Friday Night "Couples" League. Thanks to all the volunteers who did a remarkable job in running the Leagues. It is not an easy job, so I thank you all for your patience and time!

The last Season End transmission & Revision for Handicaps will be on Nov. 14th...Handicaps will continue to be updated during the "off season" once a month. So continue to post your scores during the "off season"....."Off Season" begins Nov. 30th.

You can continue to post scores throughout the winter whether you play here in Rhode Island or elsewhere. The only thing you need to remember is when you are out of state, you sign in as a Guest Score Posting. You will then have to enter your GHIN number, not your local number. ( You can only use your local number in RI) Use your GHIN number out of state...... Your GHIN number can be found on your handicap label.... Once you enter your GHIN Number, everything else from there is self explanatory. Their rating and slopes from that particular course and the name of the course will already be in the system, you will only need to type in your GHIN number and your name...Once you post that score, all that information will then be routed to your Home course, Woodland Greens.....

Your "2011" Golf Membership Applications can now be found on the web.. Please visit our website www.woodlandgc.com to get yours...

Don't put those Golf Clubs down just yet.....Play, have fun and enjoy the Fall Season with some great golf.
