Somersett is currently in 1st place with Thunder Canyon (last years winners) in 2nd.  Congrats Ladies...you all did an outstanding job.  I hear Dolly scored 23 points!  WooHoo!

The next qualifier for HSTP is June 17.  That qualifier is to play at Montreux on June 28th.  Keep up the good work SLGA!

Ladies Cat Fight

Ladies Cat Fight
Sunday, May 16

Get your your teams put together for this fun mixed with a little bit of competition tournament.

If you are lucky enough to have 4 members on your street then sign up the whole foursome.  If you only have 2 or 3 members, no problem...you get to draw a random golfer(s) to play with you.  If you don't have any other members on your team then you can be one of the lucky draws that another street gets and everyone is happy! 

The winning street for this event gets to name the 18th hole waterfall.  For example, if Willow Ranch Trail won the tournament then we would name the waterfall - Willow Ranch Falls. 

Call the club today to sign up. 

SLGA Match Play Reception

SLGA Match Play Reception, April 30
Ladies it is time to get excited for the 2010 golf season. We are looking forward to the inaugural SLGA MATCHPLAY. What is match play you ask? Match Play is when you compete against one player in a head to head match keeping track of holes won. It is your net score versus your opponent’s net score on each hole. The winner of the match is the player who has won more holes than there are left to play. If the match is tied after 18 holes the player to win the next hole is the winner of the match. The player with the higher handicap is entitled to the difference between her handicap and her opponent’s handicap. That difference equates to the number of strokes that player will receive during the match

Match Example:
Player A scores a 6 net 6 on hole #1 while Player B scores a 6 net 5. Player B has won the hole and is 1 up in the match through one hole. This will continue until one player is up more holes than there are left to play.
Handicap Example:
Player A plays to a course handicap of 15 while Player B plays to a course handicap of 32. This entitles Player B the difference of their handicaps OR 17 strokes in the match. Player B will receive those strokes on the holes with a handicap rating 1-17 designated on the score card. So don’t be intimidated if you have a higher handicap.

Opening matches will be blind drawn into a bracket during the tournament reception on April 30, 2010. Players will have one month to schedule and complete their first round match. Each successive round’s matches will commence at the beginning of the month and must be completed by the end of the month. Thus the final match for the championship will be held in September.
The fee for this event is $40 and includes hors d’oeuvres at the reception, prize fund and a winner’s trophy. Sign-ups will be with the golf shop. The deadline to sign-up is April 20, 2010.This is a first come first serve basis. The maximum number of participants will be 32 players.

Silver Cup Matches

The Silver Cup Qualifying Tournament is on June 3rd at Somersett Country Club.

The Silver Cup is a team competition between Norhtern Nevada Women's Golf Association and Southern Nevada Women's Golf Association played over three days similar to the Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup.

The actual tournament is held on October 25-27, 2010 at Primm Valley Golf Club.
