Wanted - Amateur Rules Chairman to serve on the Amateur Board....although it is important to have knowledge of the rules, this is not a major requirement as Rules Chairman. The CSGA sends rules officials to the Amateur. Bev Sleeper is currently the Amateur Rules Chairman, and anyone interested in this role will work closely with Bev this year (as her backup) in preparation to take over in 2011/2012 (2-year commitment). Bev may also be available to provide assistance to the Amateur Rules Chairman in 2011. The chairman attends approximately 4 Amateur meetings a year and needs to attend the three-day Amateur tournament. The Rules Chairman would not play in the Amateur during the years they serve as chairman. If someone is interested in learning more about this position, please contact Bev Sleeper at 860-633-2283 (sleepers@cox.net).

Distance Measuring Devices Approved for 2009

For 2009, the CSGA has adopted the local rule allowing use of distance measuring devices in their tournaments (click here for details). To be consistent with CSGA, the SNEWGA Board voted to permit the use of distance measuring devices (including GPS devices) in all SNEWGA events, as well. That means that USGA-approved distance measuring devices, like the SkyCaddie GPS, can be used in all SNEWGA events.

Please note, if, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect her play (e.g., gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player will be in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is actually used.

eClubhouse is Here!

eClubhouse was created by the folks at GHIN and is provided by CSGA. It gives SNEWGA members many benefits, not the least of which is the ability to contact other members at the click of a button. Looking for a partner for an Invitational? Go to the "Players Wanted" forum and post a "want ad". Or look up a friend's contact information, and send her a note directly.

For those of you who are stats mavens, you’ll have an easy way of tracking your game progress (fairways, greens, sandies, etc.) throughout the year.
