What is a Handicappers Membership?

It’s not scary!!! Our competitive membership is open to those ladies who wish to join our 10 – week league program. We play every Monday night at Grandview Golf Club. You are responsible to establish and update your handicap with the Nova Scotia Golf Association.

A rules session and closing banquet are also included. As a competitive member you are also invited to all the weekly games that our full season  members enjoy.

How does the scheduling of games work?

Once you become a member you will be added to our game data base. We use a scheduling tool – SPOND that keeps everyone up to date as games and events are added. Members will see a schedule for the upcoming 2-3 weeks. Each week you will receive game invitations via email – simply let us know if you would like to play, 9 or 18 holes, and whether you will require a golf cart or request to play with someone. We encourage our members to play with a variety of ladies, with a variety of skills. There are limits to the number of ladies that can play the games as we are limited in the number of tee times we can get at the club. Therefore, you should only say yes if you are going to make the golf game. You can adjust your schedule up to 2 days in advance. After this time, we will create groups and email out your tee time and contacts for your playing partners. If you are unable to make it, you are responsible to let your playing partners know. You are expected to show up early for your tee time. A no-show fee of $20 will be charged if you fail to make your tee time and haven’t contacted anyone. You are expected to call the club on the day if you have a tee time and can’t make it.

Your playing partners are counting on you to show up and play in their group. Members should not rearrange groups to play with different players, or go out early. We don’t want to leave anyone alone on the first tee.

Each game has a cap of 16-30 ladies. You may join a waitlist and we will contact you if space becomes available. We will look for other courses to ensure we can accommodate our waitlist. The above schedule was based on 2017 schedule. (subject to availability)

Now would be a good time to get school support workers back in the classroom! My kids texted me every hour asking if our house burned down. Kids are scared. And being away from home right now is torture for them #TantallonFire School support workers are needed!

Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 200 homes or structures have been damaged as a result of the fires. A full assessment of the damage cannot yet be confirmed. Details: https://fal.cn/3yDqo

Update: fire evacuation order now issued to include Maplewood, Voyageur Way including St. George Blvd area including all side streets, McCabe Lake area and Indigo Shores. Evacuation orders will not be lifted before Monday. Take your pets. Check @hfxgov for updates.

Testimonials

Thank you, Sara, for your good instruction…  Over the past couple of years, my game had regressed to a point where I wasn’t really enjoying the sport as much.  However, now I am striking the ball better…Thank you again.
