2025 Membership
Welcome back to all the returning members and to all of our new members as well. As of this writing we have a roster of 113 members, ten of whom are new. Welcome all.
2025 is shaping up to be a very good year. With such a strong roster, we are routinely getting the maximum number of sign-ups for the tournaments, which currently stands at 80 players per event. As such, to ensure yourself a spot in any given tournament, please sign up as quickly as possible. The sign-up sheet is on the table when you check in. Otherwise, call the sign-up number (702) 378-9775.
There are going to be some renovations taking place at Boulder Muni this year. As such, the tournament committee is looking to book us at some away courses. We already have Boulder Creek and The Legacy lined up. The schedule will be updated as new courses are added. Check the Tournament Schedule page of the website for the most up-to-date information.
Pace of Play
As stated above, we are getting the maximum number of sign-ups these days. With a full field (many of whom are new members) the pace of play has slowed down considerably. Recent tournaments have taken more than 5 hours to complete. We need each round to be completed in no more than 4 ½ hours. It is imperative that each group keeps up with the group in front of it. By keeping pace, this will allow the pro shop to honor the tee times they have scheduled behind our tournament. They cannot honor these tee times until our last group has cleared the first tee. Even if you’re having a tough round, there are many things you can do to speed up play:
• If you’re unsure where your shot went, hit a provisional, take the allotted 3 minutes to search for the original, and if not found play the provisional.
• If you’re driving the cart, drop your partner at his ball and then head to yours and be ready to play when it’s your turn.
• Park on the cart path near the back of the green. This shortens the amount of time it takes you to exit the green. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CART IN THE FAIRWAY IN FRONT OF THE GREEN!
• If you have extra clubs with you on the green, place them in the path you’ll be taking when you leave the green. This will also speed your exit, and prevent you from forgetting those clubs.
• Once off the green, drive immediately to the next tee box so the group behind you can hit up. Once at the tee box, you can clean the clubs you used on the last hole and write everyone’s score down.
• Play ready golf and keep up with the group in front of you!!
