One of the new programs for 2015 is the junior mentoring program. It invites a few selected junior members to join a couple of morning groups on selected weekend days throughout the year. A special thank you to Steve Campbell, Mark Brewer, Anne Trimble, Ann Griffin and Marianne Goss who participated on Sunday July 5th. The junior members who joined them were Trent Cox, Mark Wodz and Lauren Bevan.

Senior Ryder Cup - Qualifying for 2016

Men’s Senior Ryder Cup

The Senior Men’s Ryder Cup was created to provide a forum for senior men in Southern Ontario who enjoy competitive match play. There are 60 clubs stretching from Oshawa and Wyndance in the east, to Listowell in the north, London in the east and down into Niagara, with four New York State clubs also involved in 2015. Whitevale is participating for the first time in 2015, in a division with Scarboro, Summit and Emerald Hills GCs. We hosted the initial 2015 event and took the most points. This is a gross match play event. Each team has two Super Seniors (65+) and six Seniors (55+). Thornhill GC will host the Division Winners in late August to name an overall champion.

The 2015 Senior Club Championship on July 18 and 19, 2015 is the Qualifying tournament for the 2016 Senior Ryder Cup team.

All Senior and Super Seniors members wishing to Qualify must play Blue tees.

Please refer to www.seniorrydercup.com for additional information. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call Walt Lemon at 416 493-5521 if you wish more details.

Mixed Haig Results

Thank you to everyone who came and participated in today's event, especially those who played in the afternoon rain and wind. Congratulations to the following teams who all tied for 1st place after posting scores of 66:

Ron & Josette Bell
Steve Campbell & Kandice Brackenbury
Mark & Jodi Crerar
Dennis & Dawna Matton

Tournament Eligibility

In 2011, the Captain’s Committee informed the membership that in order to play in any club competition a minimum of 85% of all rounds played at Whitevale needed to be posted to the Handicap System.

Because of problems with the Peer Reporting System, the lack of a club house and problems with our greens, this policy was not enforced.

All of those problems are now behind us and therefore, effective July 1^st the 85% compliance mandate will be enforced. The 85% factor will be increased to 90% on August 1st and to its final target of 95% on September 1^st.

The pro shop will have a list of all members that are not in compliance and can assist you in entering any missing scores.
