Tee Sheet
Here are the pairings for this year. As is always the case, there may be someone you don't play with, but you will not play with anyone more than twice. That is about as good a job as the program can do. It is random.

Information and Some Basic Rules
Basic Information -
Be reminded that with our golf package this year, lunch is included Friday, Saturday and Monday. We also get two free draft beers at the clubhouse that day. Breakfast is also included Saturday at Legend's and Monday at Heritage if anyone desires. I doubt this will apply at Oyster Bay since it is on rain checks from last year.
The way this works, once we check in at the course, meal and drink vouchers will be given to us. I have the golf vouchers. The New River Valley crew plans on arriving Friday at the Legends around noon. I will check in at the pro shop upon arrival to get the vouchers, so we can get our lunch that day prior to playing golf.
After each round, I will distribute the prize money for the day. We can discuss, but I suggest we meet at the clubhouse for our free beer and do it there.
For meals on Saturday and Sunday, we will follow the tradition of spaghetti and jambalaya respectively.
Rules for the course -
Our first tee time on Friday is 1:48 and we'll need to group up before hand for pairings, etc. Hopefully all will arrive in time for lunch. Regardless of comments from Chris or David, we do have to get to courses early. It is suggested that we arrive no later than 20 minutes before the first tee time. I tend to go by the half hour rule. It does take time to unload cars, get balls, tees, etc. together, load up carts and get out to the tees, etc. What you do with the extra few minutes (practice putting, go to the range, go to the john, check out the pro shop or try to get a preview of the cart girls) is up to you. Of course for the days we eat breakfast at the course we will need to get there earlier if you/we choose to eat. I will have directions to courses for people and I'm sure some will have GPS in their cars. Of course the first two days are in sight of the condo, so with the exception of air delays or traffic problems, we should be OK (of course those could never happen).
No metal spikes allowed. I know most people have gotten rid of metal spikes by now, but just in case.
No jeans allowed.
Collared shirts are required. No one has trouble with a mock turtle, just make sure there are no t-shirts.
Remember that it is an ABC violation to take your own coolers on courses. Be subtle if you take beer on the course. Some have coolers in bags which seem to be OK. Bring ice cubes or blue ice packs you can freeze the night before your round so you can pack beer in your bag. Of course, you can buy beverages at the course. Telling the starter that the cooler doesn't have beer, but contains your insulin might work at some public course in Virginia, but the starters in MB will ask to look in the cooler.
Remember to bring allergy medicine and any other medication you need. That includes aspirin, Pepto or anything else for your stomach or head.
Pool and Common Sense Rules -
Remember to take sun screen to the pool.
No glass bottles allowed at the pool.
Be careful who you ask to the hot tub. If you get shot down, expect grief from everyone at the pool.
This one goes back a few years, but no Greyhounds with Gas. They will get after you!
If you do go to a gentlemen's club, don't spend more money that night than you do for golf and lodging.
