2012 Golf Clinics and Lessons

The EWGA GTA Chapter is working with courses to offer our members a discount on golf lessons and clinics. This allows each member that is interested in taking a lesson and / or clinic to schedule directly with the course at a time that is convenient for the member. We hope that this new method will offer increased flexibility for our members.                                              

ECLECTIC ROUND (or DREAM ROUND)

What is an Eclectic Round?

An eclectic round is a multi-round golf game that, at the end of the season, results in one 18-hole score per player, which is almost always less than each individual round's score.

Eclectic rounds work this way: each golfer plays multiple rounds at a course of their choice. Each golfer compares her score on each hole per round with her current eclectic round. The lowest score on each hole across all rounds is recorded, producing an 18-hole score that is the cumulative best round for that player on that course.

For example, let's say in the first week, a golfer scores a 6 on hole No. 1 on her nominated course - this will be recorded as the starting score. The second time she plays, she scores a 7 on hole No. 1   - that score is not recorded on the eclectic score sheet as it is higher than the current best. The third time out, she shoots a 4 on hole No. 1 - the eclectic score is now recorded as 4 on hole 1.

How to Register?

In order to register, please send your name, your membership number, and the name of the golf course you want to be your 2012 eclectic course to membercourse@ewg.on.ca. There is no registration deadline, however it is more advantageous if you join at the beginning of the season, giving you more opportunities to reduce your individual score per hole. Each member can nominate

one course on which she wants to be scored.

How to Record Scores?

Throughout the season, whenever you play at your nominated course, check the score from each hole against your current eclectic results. If you improve on your current best score for any hole, then please scan your score-card, and send it by email to membercourse@ewg.on.ca, indicating which hole or holes you want to update.

Results

Results will be updated regularly, showing each participating player’s current eclectic score, and the playing differential – the difference between their first round and their current eclectic round.

Prizes

Prizes for the overall lowest eclectic round, and the player who shows the most improvement will be given at the Season Closing Tournament.

EWGA MENTORING PROGRAM

The EWGA GTA chapter supports a mentoring program that offers experienced golfers an opportunity to support the mission of the EWGA by providing opportunities for members newer to the game to learn all about golf – like etiquette, pace of play and the basic rules of the game – in a fun, supportive and non-competitive environment.
