Hello all:
I hope you are staying warm in this chilly environment. The season change is good, but looking forward to warmer golfing weather.
The AL9GA board has been working hard on our 2023 budget, the 2023 playday schedule, and getting the survey ready for you to click and link to from the club association page. Thank you to Dianna Gibson, who is working hard at getting the online links from our club page. Also, thank you to Caleb in the club office for helping update our webpage.
Our 2023 Budget has been voted on and approved by the board and will be available to view soon.
You can now visit the AL9GA web page under Associations to link to the Survey Results. If anyone has any questions, please let us know. We will be happy to answer any concerns and issues.
The Play Day schedule is still being worked. Here are some major dates to put on your calendar - the Sleeping Bear Member-Member Tournament, Monday, June 26th, and the Mama Zia Member-Guest Two-Day Tournament August 28th and 29th. More details will be coming soon. We will also try to incorporate some out-of-Alto days to play, and to play the back 9 at Alto. These two were mentioned as suggestions on the survey multiple times.
We have settled on offering new AL9GA shirts. Most of the board has ordered one, so if you have any questions, we can give you our assessment. Our shirt will be the IBKul long sleeve shirt in turquoise. Leslie Wall has several of this brand and says they are pretty true-to-size, but to go up a size if you like your fit to be loose. The picture below is the shirt. You can call the Golf Shop to order, and it will be billed to your account. The cost is $60 plus tax. The Alto logo will be on the chest and AL9GA will be on the sleeve in white thread.
A reminder that the last date you can notify the Administration office at the club to drop your AL9GA membership is Feb 26th.
We are planning to offer group golf lessons this summer with one of the pros at Alto or Outlaw. The group lessons will be limited to no more than 10 ladies, but we can add additional lessons if we have more than 10 ladies who want to participate. The fee for the lessons has not been determined yet but we will let you know.
Our socials this summer will be held the 3rd Tuesday of the month starting on May 16 at Susan Holmes’ home. Stacey Barr will host on June 20th, Joy Hill on July 18th, and Debby Starnes on August 15th. So, mark your calendars to attend. It is always a fun time. Thank you to Sharon Hileman for coordinating these socials for us, and thank you to all hostesses!
Stay warm and play lots of golf wherever you are!
