FWGA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE FOR 2012
Welcome to the 2012 FWGA Golf Season. You’ll find our schedule under the tournament link on the home page. We have a competitive schedule for you again this year with the usual events and an extra late year event.
The season will open with our annual 5 man scramble at Riverbend. We have made an additional option available via the on line registration that will allow the players to pay the day of the event, instead of having one player paying the entire fee. Hopefully, this will encourage more of you to play in this fun event. Remember, no FWGA dues are required for participation in this event.
We will continue our policy of a City Championship exemption for top 10's in our four premier stroke play events, being the Northern Open, Little City, Drew Pearson Memorial and the Parker Motter Hall of Fame. This applies only to the overall top ten, although these tournaments are flighted based upon score, with the flights determined after the first day for the Northern Open and the Drew Pearson, after the second day for the Little City and the Hall of Fame is a gross or net tournament. The top 10 for the HOF will be only for the gross division.
As you’ve probably already heard, the City Championship venue has changed from that as advertised last year. The Fort Wayne Country Club has withdrawn due to conditions at the golf course that they felt were not possibly going to be up to their high standards to host our signature event. Pine Valley Country Club has most generously stepped up and has agreed to host the City Championship for all three days.
We look forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones as we embark on what looks to be a very competitive season. We thank you all for your past participation and look forward to the new season with a great anticipation of quality fields and tightly contested events.
This is my fourth and final year as serving as your President. It has been both an honor and a privilege to serve you in this capacity. Thanks to all the members who have supported our events over the years and to the Board members who have stepped up to help make this one of the premier local Golf Associations in the Country. As with any Association, we can only survive with continued growth and participation in not only our events, but with volunteering, either through a single event, or with the Board of Directors. As Board members make decisions on their participation, positions will be opening up and hopefully some of you, the membership, will consider joining us in the administration of this fine Association. Feel free to contact me or any current Board Member for additional information.
Mike Davis, President FWGA
