In spite of the cold a group of KAGT elders gathered recently around a warm fire and a UL game to map out the 2015 schedule, and to mentally prepare for birdies and championship titles. Here are a few notes and the schedule/venues/hosts.
After his dismal 2014 showing we’ve determined Casey Weber needs some time off to focus on his game, so Brian Fetter pay his dues and take a stint as your faithful Commissioner. We thank Casey for his wisdom, energy, and dedication as he provided his steadfast leadership to the Tour these past few seasons.
Membership Roll Call– please confirm your interest in competing on Tour this season. Additionally, if you have any new candidates please send their information to Weber and I so we can reach out them to explain the Tour, handicaps, etc.
Handicaps– be sure to get your handicap up to date. Active Season begin March 1.
Additionally, this is the final year of our handicap step-down program. After capping at 22 in 2013 and 20 last year, Handicap Indexes will be capped at 18 for the 2015 season. The highest Course Handicap permited will be based off a max 18 Index.
Dues– will remain the same at $165 for the season. We will again ask that the full amount be paid up front at the beginning of the season. We will continue to refund money for any tournaments not played and to those who do not qualify for the Tournament of Champions. Casey will take over for me as Treasurer and banker.
Schedule– we’ve essentially kept the same weekends and days last year. Hosts will need to confirm their intention to host and also confirm courses, dates, Sat vs Sun, etc. We’ll be in touch about that. If anyone is interested in hosting, please advise.
