Dear NSGA Members:
On
behalf of the Board of Directors, we sincerely thank each of you for
a great 2007 Nebraska Senior Golf season. The
NSGA had a great year, with a total of 1960 entries for our 17 events
- an average of 115 players per event. 2008 promises to be another great
season, as we have kept events at all of the great courses and made
a few changes that we hope wiill enhance your participation and satisfaction.
We
will begin the 2008 season at Shadow Ridge CC on April 28th, and we
close our season with our two-day State Tournament at The Country Club
of Lincoln on September 15 & 16. The 2008 season will also feature
the return of the 2-day Western Event, with back-to-back playing days
at Bayside Golf Course in Ogallala and Wild Horse Golf Club in Gothenburg.
Please link to the Events page on your left for a complete schedule
of event locations and dates.
For
the 2008 season, the Board has decided to increase the playing field
for our events to 128 players (64 teams). We hope this change will allow
more participation in our events while still enabling our members to
complete their play in less than five hours.
Also
for 2008, the Board has amended the entry procedure for events to be
more equitable in how the events are filled. For those events that
fill up within the first 10 days after booklets have been sent out,
a random drawing will determine the field of 64 teams (and the standby
list of 10 teams) for that event. A more detailed explanation will
be mailed out with the Membership and Events booklet on April 1. Get
your membership dues in now, so when you receive your booklet in April
you and your playing partners can return your entries early.
The
Board has also amended the cancellation fee for all events. It will
now be $25.00 per player for any cancellation, regardless of the reason.
If cancellation is made one week or more prior to the event, a full
refund less the $25 per person will be given. Cancellations made four
(4) days or less before an event will receive a 50% refund less the
$25 per person; any cancellations made within 3 days of the event or
less will not be given a refund (although the Tournament Director may
make exceptions).
Our
membership is always an issue, and we need your help to grow or maintain
so we can continue to play amidst the finest courses in Central and
Eastern Nebraska. Please ask someone to be a member this year. We will
continue to honor members who recruit throughout the 2008 season during
our State tournament in Lincoln this Fall.
Membership
and Events booklets will be mailed out the beginning of April, so please
prepart to get your entries in early, as we expect many of our events
to fill quickly. Your Directors are looking forward to another great
year, and look forward to seeing all of you in 2008.
