WOGSA 2010 

     Greetings to all for 2010. The quick spring had everyone jumping early to get open with record temperatures and no snow in March. It is nice to be off to a much better start to the season than last year. The WOGSA has been busy preparing for the upcoming season as well. 

     Let me start off in keeping with tradition by thanking our event hosts from last year, Jim Dimitriw from Lowville GC, Trever Turner at Brookfield  GC, Mike Grawey at Sparrow Lakes GC, Bill Mcallister at Rattlesnake Point GC, and Mike Burton at Heron Point Golf Links. I think everyone would agree that it was a fine year thanks in large part to the contributions of these individuals and their respective golf courses.

     The WOGSA has arranged another great year of events which is no small feat considering the state of the economy and the stretching of everyone’s dollars and budgets. A great deal of thanks must go to the hard working Board of Directors of the WOGSA which include Angelo Capannelli, Gavin Kellogg, Trevor Hunter, Tom Brain and Ted Clark. These individuals do a great deal of work behind the scenes as well as on event days to keep the organization firing on all cylinders. 

     Let me quickly go over a few items for 2010. Membership dues will hold the line at $ 50.00 (still the best bargain around) and we are maintaining our  bonus of any additional member from your organization who signs up and pays at the same time will pay only $ 30.00 (what a bargain !!!) As well retired members (I will be there someday) will pay $ 30.00. Our events will run the same way with registration being handled by the host club and event notices sent out by Email. Please ensure that we have an accurate Email address for you when registering and please take a moment to call and register for an event, it is a great courtesy to the host club as well as the WOGSA. Prizes for events will again be divided into flights based on the lowest score. And please as always, no guests at events, the host clubs accommodate us in the golf industry and we don’t want to spoil that privilege. If you register for an event and must cancel at the last minute, please call. The Association is in a position that we sometimes have to guarantee numbers at host clubs and sometimes must limit the numbers that can attend so we like to make this as accurate as possible. Please do your part !!!

     Without further delay, I will introduce our wonderful lineup for the 2010 season which is as follows : 

• May 25 – Grand Niagara GC – host John Taylor
• June 15 – Tarandowah GC – host Dan Lavis
• July 22 – Glendale GC – host Kris Brown
• August 9 – Blue Springs GC – host Mark Dawkins
• September 30 – Galt CC – host Mark Piccolo

     The WOGSA will again be competing in the Fall Classic matches against the WNYGSA which will be held in Canada this fall. Team Canada lost the cup this past fall and it is our intention to get it back on this side of the border where it belongs. The representatives on this team are Board members, meeting hosts and frequent meeting attendees. 

     Please take a moment to update your information and return it with payment or bring it to a meeting and pay there. Also please take a moment to visit our website at www.wogsa.ca. We appreciate your cooperation.
