The 2010 golf season is just around the corner!! I would like to invite all
female golf members to join the 9-hole Ladies Twilight League. This year is the
sixth anniversary of the Twilight League, and each year it expands and welcomes
new members.
Last year, the League had 50 members and many subs! We enjoyed numerous events, including the Dinner at Tiffany’s Closing Dinner, the Ryder Cup
Tournament, Mardi Gras Night, the Captain and Crew Tournament, the Member-
Member/Member-Guest, ‘Tini Night, and Margarita Night. This year we hope to
have even more ladies join the League either as regular members or substitutes.
- The League is open to golfers of all levels, from experienced players
to beginners.
- The League is held on Wednesday evenings starting on May 19, 2010
with a Fun Night.
- Regular league nights have a 5:30 p.m. shotgun start and Fun Nights
have a 6:00 p.m. starting time.
- Participants will play every week with a partner. If you already have
a partner, please list her name on the Registration Form. If you do
not have a partner, we will match you with another golfer with a
similar handicap.
- This fun, relaxed league is a great opportunity to meet other members,
make new friends, and enjoy the beautiful golf course at Lake Shore.
Registration & Dues
The League dues are $50 (checks only) and are due along with the linked Registration Form (click here) by May 2nd. Because of scheduling issues, we cannot accept
applications for regular League members after that date. If you cannot commit to
a league every week but would still like to play occasionally, please indicate “sub” on
the Registration Form and send no money. League members are always looking for
subs, and you are likely to be contacted on a regular basis.
Orientation
On Wednesday, May 5th, at 6:30 p.m., the Ladies 9- and 18-hole leagues will hold an
Orientation, Rules and Etiquette clinic. Nick Serafino will review commonly
misunderstood rules and provide us with some time management techniques to use
on the course. This clinic is mandatory for new League members.
On Wednesday, May 12th, at 6:00 pm., the Ladies Golf Association will have its
Opening Dinner. Please be sure to call the Club House and make your reservation
by Sunday, May 9th.

Additional Fees
Throughout the course of the year, additional fees will be charged for tournaments, such

Ryder Cup Tournament. These tournaments are optional events. The estimated cost for
each of these tournaments is approximately $10.00- $45.00 per person (excluding food

items are not included in the League’s dues and are optional.
Tee Times
On a regular League night, we will all tee off at 5:30 pm. Please be ready for play by
5:15 p.m. On a “Fun Night”, we will tee off once the course is opened, at approximately
6:00 pm. Due to darkness issues, we will have a shotgun start at 5:00 pm on the last 3
weeks of the season. If you know you are going to be late, or if you have a sub, please call
your partner and the Pro Shop in advance to inform them about the sub so that the
correct score card can be generated.
Scoring
Score cards will be on the carts each week.
A total of 10 points is possible per team per week, as follows:
- 1 point for each hole won
- ½ point for each hole tied
- 1 point for the winning team
Sign, date, and write your member number on each score card. Turn in your scorecard
after play to Fran Smith, the League’s scorer. The League’s scorer will consult with the
Pro Shop regarding scoring issues and the decision of the League’s scorer is final. The
rules for special games will be determined prior to the match and all decisions regarding
the allocation of points in the event of a discrepancy will be determined by the League’s
scorer.
Do not post your own score. The Pro Shop will do it for you.
The highest score on a hole is 10, please pick up your ball after that. We will play “ready
golf”, meaning whoever is ready can go.
Rain Outs
In case of inclement weather, we will send an email to the League by 4:00 p.m., or you can
call the Pro Shop. If the League has not been called off, your team must participate or it
will be considered a forfeit. If the League has been called off, there will be no makeup,
however, the League members may still meet for dinner and cocktails in the Clubhouse at
6:00 pm. In case of steady rain during play, a minimum of 5 holes must be completed by all
League participants in order for the night to count. In case of lightening and the horn
blows, play has been suspended.
Subs
If you cannot make a League night, you must find your own sub . You can either refer to
the sub list or call another golf member. If you cannot find a sub, your partner will play
the opponents and you can take a pull, if it is available. If neither partner can find a sub,
you shall forfeit and the opposing team shall receive six points. The opposing team has the
ability to “play the card” to receive more than six points. To play the card, you receive a ½
point if you tie the par with the card’s handicap, and receive 1 point if you beat the par
with the card’s handicap. Maximum points possible when “playing the card” is 10 – up to 9
for play + 1 for showing up. Minimum points earned is 6. THE TEAM MAY NOT OBTAIN
TWO SUBSTITUTES FOR THE SAME EVENING, AT LEAST ONE MEMBER OF THE
TEAM MUST PARTICIPATE IN ORDER TO AVOID A FORFEIT.
Pull
Each player is allowed ONE pull per season – eligible only after both sides have been
played. A “pull” is defined as follows: if you cannot find a sub, the League’s scorer will pull
one of your prior scorecards for the same course side, at random, and match it against
your opponent for that night. After your one pull is used up you will not receive any points
if your forfeit. Make-up games are not allowed. BOTH PLAYERS ON THE SAME TEAM
MAY NOT TAKE A PULL ON THE SAME NIGHT. If both players are unable to play,
the team must forfeit that match.
Handicaps
The highest possible handicap is 20. Handicaps change every week, determined by your
scores.
Closing Dinner
The Closing Dinner for the 9- and 18-hole ladies leagues will be held on Wednesday,
September 22nd. All prizes will be awarded at this event.
