Updates in 2021

 JRCC is in the process of launching a new website.  Once it is available, hopefully by April 1, 2021, there will be a link provided here.  The website will have all the information regarding golf events that you may have found here.  Looking forward to a great 2021 Golf Season.

Congratulations!

Overall this has been a great season for Ladies Golf. We had the great participation in events and overall rounds for ladies increased over 2019! One way to make next season even better is to have more ladies involved with planning events. If you have interest in helping the golf staff and catering in planning events for 2021 please let us know. We welcome your input!

SAVE the DATE CHANGED

 

Ladies Golf Luncheon 
December 15th at Noon 
The Luncheon is scheduled for December 15^th at Noon.  The cost is $25 ++ (crab cake or petit filet with chef’s choice starch and vegetable with peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert).  All the tables will be 10 feet apart to encourage social distancing.  Please respond to Kristin 595-3327 to let her know your choice for the main course.  

Birdie Chairwomen Margie Holt and Jennifer Stevens along with Jeremy have something planned to recognize the Birdies before the Birds fly off for the winter, so keep reporting your Birdies through the end of November to mgholt45@gmail.com

THE Results are in!

 

From the PRO Shop:

We will be reserving 3 tee times on Tuesdays starting at 9 am the rest of the month, just no competition.  Please let us know each week if you will be playing so we can release the tee times to other Members if not.  Thank you!

The pro shop will be closing at 5 pm.  Tee times during the week begin at 8:30 and on weekends, they begin at 8 am.

Results are in! August 18th Ladies Day

From David, our Pro:

I think today  may have been one of the nicest days for golf since I’ve been here.  And for all of you who took carts, we observed the 90-degree rule!  Thanks Rob!

 

Don’t forget to sign up for the next Ladies Day on Tuesday the 25^th at 8:30.  I’d really like to have all your names to me by Noon Sunday so I can send out the pairings on Sunday afternoon.  This would make things run a bit smoother come Tuesday mornings.

Results from the PRO-August 11

Thanks for your patience with all the clean-up by Rob and his staff during the last week or so.  I added the scores from Tuesday less holes 3, 11 & 14.  That was the fair way to do it since ALL of you finished the same 15 holes. 

If you would like to post your scores from Tuesday, you may post what you would most likely have made on that hole based on your handicap.  For example, if you are a 36 handicap, you would give yourself a double bogey on any holes you do not complete.  Or if you are a 25 handicap and did not play the 3^rd hole, you would give yourself a double bogey since that is the 6^th toughest hole on the course.  I can explain it better to you all in person if you would like. 

TEMPORARY LOCAL RULE:  While clean-up is happening on the course, if you hit a ball in an area of debris and such, you may take full relief (no closer to the hole) if it affects your swing, stance or posture.  Please consult with the rest of your group before doing so. 

Gross

1^st Becky Kelly – 73        $10

2^nd Bongsook Hong – 79    $8

2^nd Susan Nixon – 53        $8

Your help is needed!

With the strong increase in play, we are seeing more ball marks on the greens than usual. This problem can be an easy fix if all of us repair two ball marks per hole. The above diagram is a great picture from the USGA of how to properly repair a ball mark. Also on our Facebook page under the “Care for the Course” Video Series we have several instructional videos of procedures to ensure that golfers are doing their part of keeping the course pristine.  CLICK HERE and HERE to watch our videos on how to repair ball marks.  

We are still asking that you maintain the distance a ball is struck on the practice range to 125 yards. The golf committee is committed to finding a solution to keeping our neighbors safe and our members being able to hit more club than before. The limited flight range balls are still being found in the yards of those across the street and I cannot stress enough for the time being to adhere to the 125-yard rule.

The Dress Code Policy at JRCC is an important part of the overall experience of playing the course and being on the grounds. The following is designed to help you prepare you and your guests for golf at James River.

General: Proper golf-specific attire is required at all times. Proper attire includes Bermuda shorts but does not include: denim blue jeans, cut-off shorts, tennis shorts, cargo shorts, bathing suits or other attire determined to be inappropriate by the Board of Directors. Shoes must be of the approved spike-less variety. Shirts that are tucked in with sleeves and collars and mock turtlenecks are appropriate.

Ladies: Bare midriffs, barebacks, halter tops, low-slung pants, short shorts, and tank tops are inappropriate. Collarless and sleeveless shirts designed to be worn outside the pants are appropriate. Bermuda shorts and shorts/skorts that are less than five inches above the middle of the knee are appropriate.

WE are asked to help care for the GREENS. See video on Facebook HERE

David emailed results yesterday:

"It was great seeing all of you yesterday despite the quite humid playing conditions.  I can’t stress how important it is to continually hydrate on these hot days.   

There will be no Ladies Day Tuesday, July 28^th as we are hosting the VSGA Junior Championships.  We are looking for volunteers.  If you are interested in helping July 28, 29 or 30, please let me know.  Thanks."
