Big news from the BGA world. Chestnut Hill has agreed to administer our league handicaps and scoring for this year. That may not seem like a big deal to some of you but for me, it's huge. Not only do I get out of countless hours of tedious scorecard collecting, analysis and arithmetic, but I will also no longer feel guilty when I fall weeks behind and have to scramble to catch up. What's new for us? Not much but you will have to do these things in this order:
1. When you sign in they should give you a special league scorecard. If they don't, please ask for it.
2. Use this scorecard instead of the traditional CHCC issue as it contains more data. Fill it out COMPLETELY with full names and add up ALL scores.
3. When you are finished with your 9 holes, turn your scorecard in to one if the girls at the bar.
That's it. Your responsibilities (and mine) are now complete. CHCC takes over from here and within a few days our results, adjusted handicaps and standings will appear on their website for all of us to see. Just like magic.
I have added a link to our website to make it as easy as possible for us to keep current with our stats. The BGA Leaderboard is located at the top right of each page and the graphic actually resembles the leaderboards used at the Masters.
And finally, perhaps the best part of this new feature is that it eliminates any temptation I might have to manually adjust or "jack up" a players handicap. Not that it happens very frequently but, just saying.

BGA 2013
Well, looks like we made it to another year of exciting golf at Chestnut Hill CC. Here are the details:
Cost: $288 for the season gets you 16 weeks of play. Pay this directly to Chestnut Hill Country Club.
Start Date: Our official Opening Night is Tuesday, April 30th. Dress warmly. But as you will see below, we are actually starting a week earlier on April 23rd (dress warmer).
Tee Times: 4:36 and every 8 minutes or so thereafter.
Now here is something different: We get a free night of play on April 23. All we have to do is supply a complete roster to CHCC before that day and we can play for free. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I could use a little practice. So please check our roster to see if you are still listed (funny things can happen in the BGA in the off-season) and if your info is correct. Let me know if something needs to be changed.
Competitions: Mostly the same as last year and listed in the sidebar and on the Competitions page.
So that's it for now. See you on Tuesday, April 23 for our freebie.
