Fendrich Men’s Club
April 2015 Newsletter
Welcome to the 2015 golf season!
After a long, cold winter….it’s time to dust off the clubs and hit the links. We are
emailing this first 2015 Fendrich Men’s Club newsletter to all of the members from
last year, along with new members who have already signed up this year.
Welcome to all of the new members, especially our friends from the now-closed
Clearcrest Pines Golf Course. We are glad to have you in the club. If you were a
member last year, and have not yet paid your 2015 dues...please do so by April 28th.
Anyone not paying dues by then will be deleted from our email system. (After April
28th...once dues are paid, you will be reinstated.)
We have been working hard to insure that our email system has correct information.
Please feel free to email the board of directors at any time with thoughts, comments
and suggestions at:
[email protected]
I’d like to personally thank everyone who came to the Spring Banquet at the Owls
on March 10th and wished us well on our efforts to provide a good program for the
upcoming season. While we are keeping the highly successful “It’s Your Choice”
weekly tournament program instituted last year….dues-paying members have voted
to allow for only posting one round per week per member. Read page two of this
newsletter carefully to know the rules. And remember that golf is a game of honor...so please follow these rules if you wish to participate in weekly tourneys.
NOTE: The Spring Scramble is back on 4/18...sign up deadline is 4/15 and you can
do that at our April meeting next Wednesday, 4/8. Entry form is in this newsletter.
I’d also like to thank all of the board of directors listed below for stepping up to help
out this year. I hope you will reach out to these guys when you see them at Fendrich
to say thank you and to share your thoughts/opinions on the direction of the club.
And, finally, I’d like to thank Dave English and Mark Peters for providing a quality
golf experience on a city-run budget. And Jerry Freyberger for hosting our regular
monthly meetings in the Sand Trap….please patronize his establishment. And, let’s
also support all of our sponsors, whose contributions help keep our club going.
Hit ’em Staright! Let’s have some Fun at Fendrich this year!!

2015 BLIND BOGEY GUIDELINES
What is a BLIND BOGEY?
A system that allows members without an established handicap to create a handicap (five
18 hole rounds) prior to the start of weekly tournaments (April 22nd). Scores need not
be just at Fendrich. It also allows members with handicaps to have a chance to win
weekly prizes as well.
How a BLIND BOGEY Works…
You pick your own handicap (BEFORE YOU PLAY) and post it on one of the tournament
sheets under the handicap along with your name.You are trying to net out to a score of
between 70 and 80. Example:You think you will shoot a GROSS score of 90.You would
write down a handicap on the sheet (BEFORE YOU PLAY) of between 10 and 20.
REMEMBER ONLY ONE ROUND ON THE SHEET PER WEEK!
Enter your score in the computer (New Members see instructions for score entry). IT IS
NOT NECESSARY to put your completed scorecard in the metal container UNLESS you
need help with entering your score.
A club officer will draw a number between 70 and 80, If that number matches your net
score, you are a winner of a prize. Prizes can be picked up at the clubhouse or at the
next monthly meeting.
BLIND BOGEY TOURNAMENT WEEKS: (Tues. – Next Mon.)
March 31-April 6.....April 7-13…..April 14-20
NOTE: It takes (5) five rounds to create a handicap for new members.

Used Golf Balls to benefit our Muni Cup Team!
Just a reminder to everyone that we are collecting used golf balls and Rawhide has told
us they are still buying. It does not matter the condition of the ball, so turn in any that
you may have. The proceeds from the sale of these will be used to fund our 2014 Muni
Cup Team. There is a collection box at the Pro Shop. Just bring the balls in and a member of the staff will gladly show you where to put them.
