Golf Quiz (07/20/10)

Part of our goals for the men's club this year is to help improve everyone's knowledge of the game, in particular the rules of golf and the handicap system. For the remainder of the season, we will have questions in this weekly newsletter. Points will be awarded for correctly answering these questions. All questions will be discussed and answered at the Thursday pairings parties before each of our events.

This is not intended to be a test, but an opportunity to learn from each other, so feel free to discuss with other members during the week. For those who cannot attend, you may submit your answers each week via e-mail to ss200members@cox.net
