On-line Tennis Court Reservations

AAC now uses an on-line tennis court booking system. Members can now login to a website to view existing court reservations and to book a court. This provides an easy way for everyone to view the reservation sheet up to 30 days in advance. ALTA and USTA matches, as well as rain make ups, will continue to be set up by Coach Terre. If you would like to play a T2 match or simply hit with a friend, online reservations will be the way to go.

The same court reservation and cancellation policies apply as before. If you book a court and do not cancel in advance, court reservations will no longer be a benefit available to you if found to be a continuous problem.

To book a court, follow these simple directions:

• Go to www.reservemycourt.com.
• Follow the <Player Sign-Up> link on our front page and then select <Alpharetta Athletic Club> as your home facility.
• Setup your username and password.

Handicap

ALPHARETTA ATHLETIC CLUB / HANDICAP COMMITTEE

Message to Golf Members

Dear Fellow Golf Members,

Greetings from your Handicap Committee! Now that we belong to the combined organization Alpharetta Athletic Club, the Handicap Committee’s mission is more important than ever. The Committee has several goals, but the two most important are:

1. Review the golf membership to ensure that all stated GHIN handicaps are accurate.
2. Communicate actions of the Handicap Committee to the membership so that every member knows handicapped club competitions are fair and everyone participating has a realistic chance to win.

Of course, to achieve these goals we must educate all members on the handicap system and ensure that everyone is entering all of their scores in a timely manner using Equitable Stroke Control. Most inaccuracies in the GHIN handicap are unintentional due to lack of knowledge about the rules, posting requirements, etc. Sometimes there is a lack of discipline in posting scores in a timely manner. And of course there may be a few blatant cases of "sandbaggers".

Your Handicap Committee Members are listed below:

Handicapping 101

Here are a few basic responsibilities you have as a golf playing member of the club:

1. Play by the rules of golf.
Know the rules! Frequently broken rules:

1. Taking a mulligan after a bad tee shot
2. Fluffing up your lie in the rough or otherwise using the foot wedge
3. Discovering an offline tee shot is indeed out of bounds and saying "I’ll just drop here and play my third shot". Hit a provisional when there is any doubt.
4. Giving yourself putts which are not really gimmes.

All of these transgressions make you a "reverse sandbagger" — i.e., you’re not really as good as your GHIN index says you are. This is not as serious as inflating your handicap, but it is unfair to your partners in an "ABCD" competition. You are the "A" player based on your handicap but you score like a "C" player.

2. Follow USGA Handicap System Scoring and Posting Requirements.
Frequently broken rules:

1. Not posting every round.
2. Not posting partial rounds.
   If 13 or more holes are played the player must post an 18-hole score. If 7 to 12 holes are played the player must post a 9-hole score.
3. Unfinished holes and conceded strokes
   A player must estimate and record his most likely score, not the minimum or the maximum under ESC.
4. Understand and use Equitable Stroke Control.
   ESC provides guidelines for the maximum score you can take on an individual hole. There is a chart explaining this in the clubhouse next to the GHIN computer.
5. Otherwise posting erroneous scores.

This is not an exhaustive list - these are examples to give you a feeling of the types of rules you must follow so that all handicapped competitions, whether they be club level, MGA or LGA sponsored, or just a points game within your group, are equitable to all participants. The Alpharetta Athletic Club golf staff is prepared to answer any questions you might have. Also feel free to email the members of the Handicap Committee.

The "USGA Handicap System Manual" is available for free online viewing at http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/manual/handicap_system_manual.html. You can purchase a copy of the manual and other related publications by going to http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/handicaps.html and clicking on "More Publications from the USGA Publications Store".

Not Posting Rounds Played

The Handicap Committee in conjunction with the golf staff conducted complete audits of all rounds played on several occasions last year. We compared the daily Tee Sheet to the scores posted in the GHIN system by end of day. We found that on a Saturday a fairly high percentage of rounds were posted in the morning. But in the afternoon less than half the rounds were posted. Non-posting is the single biggest problem we have at Alpharetta Athletic Club. We plan to conduct more random audits this year and to post penalty scores for rounds not posted.

Those members who habitually fail to post will not be allowed to participate in club tournaments.

---

Penalty Scores for Rounds Not Posted

The Crooked Creek Handicap Committee has decided to impose a penalty score if a member is known not to have posted a round played. Such a score will appear in his scoring history with an "M" indicating "Modified".

1. At this time we have not yet developed an automated system to detect all rounds not posted every day. However, rounds not posted will be detected in the following situations:
   • Days when scorecards are collected
   • Days when random checks are done
   • Other spot checks, such as collecting all cards in a group
   • A Handicap Committee member becomes aware that an individual did not post
2. When a member is known to have not posted, he will be given 3 full days to post the score. For example, if he played at any time on Saturday, he has until close of business on Tuesday to post the score. Note: the score can be posted either in the clubhouse or on the internet at http://www.ghin.com/. Go to that web site and click on "Post Online". You must know your GHIN number to use this method. Finally, the member can call the clubhouse and ask anyone on the golf staff to post a score for him.
3. If the member has not posted his score by the end of the 3rd day following, he will be assigned a penalty score equal to the lowest Handicap Differential and Ratings in his Scoring Record. A player’s Scoring Record is the last 20 scores he has posted, plus any eligible tournament scores. This procedure is consistent with section 8-4.b of USGA Handicap System Manual.

   This is not as complicated as it sounds – the Scoring Record is exactly what is displayed on the GHIN computer when an inquiry of a member’s scoring history is made.

4. The member has the right to appeal to the Handicap Committee to remove the penalty score. He must make the appeal in writing (an email is okay) and his appeal will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled Handicap Committee meeting. The member does not need to be at the meeting - he can state his case in writing. The Committee will consider the request and vote on it. If the member wins the appeal the actual score shot will be posted and the penalty score will be removed. The Committee meets once a month during the golf season – ask for the date of the next meeting.

SGA

The AAC provides a time and a place to play and to practice. Now that you’ve got the place, here are the opportunities dedicated to senior tee times.

Senior Points Game

Open to all club members 50 years and older, the Senior Points Game is based on a target point system matched against your handicap. The entry fee to participate at the East Course is $5 for each outing. A pay out to the top five (5) players on each given day is awarded from the entry fees. Entry to the West Course Points Game is $10 for each outing.

East Course point games are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and West Course point games are held on Mondays and Thursdays. Tee times for both courses begin at 10 am and all participants need to register each week with the pro shops by calling 770-475-9300 (East Course) and 770-410-9360 (West Course). Golfers will need to register by noon Saturday for the Monday game, noon Sunday for the Tuesday game and noon on Wednesday for the Thursday games.

League Play

18 Hole Tuesday League

All 18Hole players must have an established USGA handicap of 40 or less, but will play to no more than a 36 handicap on Play days. This includes a transfer of a handicap from a previous course.     The 18 hole league generally plays on Tuesday morning, (if changed, noted on schedule) starting at 9:00 a shotgun start.

West Course

Although the par 70, Willard Byrd design tips out at 6,100 yards, the West Course will test the patience of any golfer.
