WHAT IS RIVERBEND
LADIES’ TEAM?
Our affiliate organization
the GSWPGA (Greater Seattle Women’s Public Golf Association) promotes
competitive Ladies’ golf in the Seattle area.
There are 15 member clubs and 9 matches that take place during the
active season. The RLGA has had the
opportunity to take part in Team competition for many years.
There are several “Myths” about team which need to
be addressed:
Myth: You
need to be a low handicap player to join Team:
This is false. We take handicaps
of all levels. We have 3 brackets, low
– medium – high. Each bracket plays
with appropriate level handicap players.
Every match, the Team Captain chooses the 6 lowest handicap players
available from those who have signed up to play.
Myth: The
Team is very competitive: This is not
true. The competition level is very
friendly. Everyone is here to have fun
and to meet new friends and form relationships. There are women of all ages who play team and it’s a fun and supportive
environment.
Myth: You have to learn complicated scoring with
4-ball match play. This is false. You will learn the scoring and it’s not
difficult. The first time out you will
be paired with 3 others who know how to keep score and will gladly explain it
to you. You do not need to be a math
wizard to learn how to score. Plus you
can impress your friends with your knowledge of 4-ball match play scoring and
your experience playing a new format.
Our first match will be held April 28th
at West Seattle Golf Course. I hope I
have encouraged those of you who are interested in Team but just haven’t done
it, and those of you who have not heard much about it yet.
If you would like to play team, please put your name
on the sign-up sheet on the Ladies’ bulletin board down at the Pro Shop. If you won’t be down there, you can call or
email me with your request to play in a match.
There is a schedule of all the matches on our website and down at the
Pro Shop. I look forward to seeing many
of you out there this year for Team.
Thank you and let’s play some golf!
