2020 Weekend and Match Play Turnout Surpassed
In 2020, Total Entries were 571 for the entire year. We have already passed that mark with 578 and there are six more tournaments to be played. The extra 90 players in match play this year helped, going from 72 in 2020 to 162 this year. Will we pass 1,000 before the year is over?
Membership Exceeds 400
For the first time in many a year, membership exceeds 400. This fact, no doubt, contributes to the increased turnout at tournaments. Last year we had 324 members and 245 in 2019. We currently have 406 407 and counting.
Pace of Play
For the second tournament in a row, the pace was slow by the end of the day and the tee times were going off nearly a half hour late at the end of the tee sheet. Seems the punch clock is needed, as well as the return of pace of play penalties. The rules will be explained before the Two-Day Jackson Park Classic.
