Time Flies/Volunteer Opportunities
Only 8 weeks to go before our first State Day! Time flies when you are having fun, whether it’s enjoying snow activities up here in Vermont, soaking up the sun and the links somewhere warmer, or maybe a little of both. Any way you roll during the winter months, the board continues to meet and we have been busy discussing:
- the 2021 Membership Handbook; it’s now at the printer
- how to continue to help our club reps with training and info they can use for members at their clubs (helping to recruit members, preparing for State Days, etc)
- improving pace of play during our tournaments and State Days
- and creating a smooth process for allowing adds to State Days over the weekend.
As always, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
- VGA Volunteer Opportunities
The VGA would like to involve more women in their activities and have asked the VSWGA to inform our members of opportunities on their committees.
There are 2 committees where they could use our help.
- RULES Committee
Current members: Steve Currie (Chairman), Kyle Jacobs, Pat Murray, Roger Schoenbeck, John Goodchild, Herb Eddy, Terry Manley
Need – Could use as many as possible
The committee staffs the major tournaments to answer rules questions that arise during play. Prior rules training can be either on-line courses through the USGA or a local rules seminar. There is a local quiz to document proficiency.
Ongoing responsibilities:
