Roto Golfers - Marty Genereux
Golf season is upon us and it starts MAY 2! On Thursday, April 25, at 7:00 p.m. I will attempt to reserve four tee times between the hours of 4 & 5 p.m. at South Suburban Golf Course to accommodate 16 players for our May 2, outing. Each outing (Thursday) will be limited to 16 players or 4 foursomes. As always, a waiting list will be kept if someone cancels. Side note: Last year we rarely if ever exceeded 16 players per outing. Here’s what YOU need to do if you want to play May 2: On April 25, email me saying you want to play on May 2, include your name & anyone else you’re signing up for. When signing up, feel free to request a sooner or later tee time. The sign-up period will be from Thursday to Monday at noon—that gives you 4.5 days to sign up. First come, first served. At noon on Mondays, the sign-up window closes in order for us to finalize tee times with South Suburban. Confused? Fear not, you’ll be getting an email from me next Thursday and every Thursday thereafter to remind you to sign up for May 2, and the subsequent Thursday’s throughout the summer. Easy peasy. We’re looking forward to picking up where we left off last summer, we hope you are too. MGenereux317@gmail.com
