Captain's Comment

Welcome back Members for a new season of Golf at Woodland Greens Golf Club.

I hope the winter break gave you an opportunity to relax and recharge for the challenges of a new year.

A Special welcome to our newest Members joining our Club. I wish you every opportunity to enjoy the Course and have fun! 

I am very excited this year about our newest edition, our website.  Also, I do hope that our monthly Newsletter, (Woodland Turf Talk) will help you plan ahead and get involved with the many Tournaments, and events that we have scheduled for our upcoming 2005 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 our new website, www.woodlandgc.com.                  

The winter always seems to take its time giving way to Spring, but eventually the warmer weather will be here and we will be back on the Golf Course.

As always, Woodland has planned a season of great golf for our Members and Guests. As usual, our season begins in April, with the annual Season "KICK-OFF", which will be held on Friday, April 8th, 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.

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.

 Happy and enjoyable golfing!

 Dave

The Golf Course   

The course at Woodland Greens continues to improve due to the careful guidance and expertise of our qualified staff.

Our hard working grounds crew have been working diligently to get your course in the best condition after a long severe winter. You can all attest to the extreme severity of winter weather we had this past year.

Our grounds crew will continue to work to get the course in the best condition for your Golfing pleasures.

To keep your course in the best condition for a better Golfing experience, please remember to replace your divots, fix ball marks, follow cart signs and rake traps. Look forward, Don't look back! This will help play move along a lot quicker and enhance a great golfing experience.

Simple Rules of the Clubhouse

• Sign in Sheet:
  Before heading out to play, a Sign-In Sheet is there for you.

• Submit Score Cards:
  After posting your score, put your score card in the box.  

• Handicap Postings:
  Handicap Revision's are done every two weeks.

• 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

Simple Rules of the Golf Course

Please Follow Cart Signs, Replace Divots, Fix Ball Marks, and Rake Traps.

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