Kingsmill Ladies' Golf Association 18-Hole

Dear KLGA-18 Ladies,

Our season is off to a great start! As we enter a new season, we are still adjusting to the
new realities presented by COVID-19, however, with vaccinations increasingly available
to those who choose to get them, players having adjusted to CDC guidelines and more
availability to collected scientific data, we are certainly in a far better place than a year
ago.

At the beginning of the season, it is always worthwhile to revisit WHY we are playing
golf. Our group’s stated objective is:
KLGA18s stated objective: "This Association was formed for the enjoyment, sociability
and benefit of Kingsmill lady golfers and seeks to promote interest and confidence in
competitive play, familiarize players with the rules and etiquette of golf and inspire good
sportsmanship in the game."

Whether your personal goal is to improve your game, get exercise, be out in nature to
enjoy the fauna and flora, win competitions…or any number of other goals for the
season, we can hopefully all agree that we are blessed to be able to play a great game
in a great place.

Here are some highlights of the 2021 season thus far:
• In-person Opening Breakfast in the Ball Room (Minutes of the meetings below)
• Green tee challenge was a huge success! We now have 8 ladies who have decided
to play the Green/Gold tees and were able to create a flight for our Ringer competition
• Opening Day play and luncheon was very well attended and well received and we
welcomed two new members to our group
• Our first competition’s shotgun start and scoring went very smoothly
• The club’s cart policy, which KLGA18 is following, is as follows
- two riders to a cart per foursome, mask wearing while riding in cart with partner
- if a player desires to ride solo, a $15 charge is incurred (scenario: one or both
players are more comfortable riding solo and each gets a cart; the club charges
$15 and players can agree to split the cost, $7.50 each, or one player pays $15)
- a player can decide to a) ride together, b) get a solo cart and incur a charge, c)
walk the course
- if you choose to walk, members are allowed to use their own push carts. For
shotgun starts, you will need to ride out, in the cart that is provided for play, and
then you can walk from there - picking up the cart upon completion
- another option for walking if you do not have a push cart is to put your bag on the
cart provided and walk
- the reason the club had to implement this policy is that the number of rounds
booked has increased dramatically, thus making carts less available than last year
• CDC guidelines and HIPAA regulations are in effect for all players throughout the
season and our board asks everyone to be mindful of these and respectful to all
players
• Our member-guest is coming up on June 29/30 and the fee for all the fun is $190 for
yourself and your guest. Please sign up via Punchbowl when the invitation is sent
(mid-May)
• Our Ladies’ Lounge has had a makeover! While it is not quite finished, the boards
have been refreshed, the room has been painted, a new TV was mounted und current
furniture has been moved to make the room more appealing. We are working with the
club to get new furniture that will hopefully include individual chairs and side tables for
the seating area and a card table with 4 matching chairs. Keep checking the room and
as your comfort level allows, using it for social gatherings
• If you have any golfers you think might enjoy joining KLGA18, please invite them and
help us expand our group and enjoy the game with us. Our first “Bring a Friend” date
is May 26th.

The Board and Committees have been hard at work to create a welcoming and
challenging season to our membership. Please let us know of any compliments and
concerns that we can address or pass along.
See you around the courses!

Respectfully,
Debbie Argy
KLGA-18 President
