The club's first tournament of the year.  If you haven't been swinging over the winter, it's time to clean up your clubs and get ready for the 2010 season. 

We're ready and the course will be too! 

This format will give you a chance to get the kinks out of your swing and more importantly, your back.

We usually play a Four-man Scramble, but this year we will play a version of the Scramble, we will call it a Four-man SHAMBLE.  See the format description below.  We think you'll like it!

New Season, Same Tournament Chairman

Everyone who is a member of the FHGC for 2010 will be presented with a hand-out at the first tournament they participate in.  Over the years, we have been kind of lax on some of the golf rules.  Mainly, to accommodate the "Old Timers" in the club.  i.e. we always played Winter Rules.
