| Do I have to choose one evening or morning during the week for 9 holes of league golf or can I golf at all the courses? |
|---|
| You can golf at all the courses and as often as you like. All that is required is that you register ahead of time as indicated at that course. Many members golf two times a week and vary where and when they play from one week to another. CWGI has a flexible program …no foursomes to organize and members may play as often and at as many of the league courses as they wish. |
| |
| Do I have to pay green fees when I golf on 9 holes in the morning or evening? |
|---|
| Yes. CWGI has preferred rates with some of the nicest courses in the area with a guaranteed schedule of tee-off times for members. You only pay for those 9 holes that you play. The average green fee is $ 22. |
| |
| Do I have to be an intermediate or expert golfer to join? |
|---|
| CWGI is open to all levels of golfers, including women just taking up the game for the first time. We partner with women golf pros for clinics and lesson in the east and west areas of the region. Every opportunity is provided to members to improve their game of golf through lots of golfing opportunities, lessons and clinics. CWGI’s also has a Mentoring Program, where other league members welcome new golfers. |
| |
| What about CWGI’s 18 hole weekday and weekend program? |
|---|
| Again, the 18 hole weekday and weekend program is open to all levels of golfers and members can play as often as they like. Members only pay green fees when they play. |
| |
| How do I register for membership in CWGI? |
|---|
| Simply register on line for yourself or for a friend. Once you have registered, your registration will be confirmed by return e-mail. |
| |
| Will I play with someone different every time? |
|---|
| It’s up to you…you can come on your own and a league course Member Coordinator will tee you off with other members or you can sign up with others, if you all want to play together. |
| |
| When I come to league play do I have to wait at the pro shop for someone who is at the same level of play as me i.e. an expert, intermediate or beginner? |
|---|
| CWGI has a "golden rule" so all players, regardless of level, can play together. This is the way the "golden rule" works. If an expert and beginner are playing together and it is a par 3 hole and the beginner has taken 3 strokes and is only half way down the fairway (the expert will likely be on, or very close, to the green) they pick up their ball and place it on the green approximately 10 feet from the hole and putt out. (If it is a par 4 they will take four stokes before picking up their ball if it is not very close to the green and place it 10 feet from the hole on the green). On their card (if they picked up the ball on the fairway) they will count their strokes i.e. 3 on the fairway and say 3 on the green for a total of 6 but along with the 6 they will put a small "x". The goal for the beginner is to get rid of the "x's" by the end of the golf season. This way play is not held up, nor a beginner or expert discouraged from playing together. CWGI has been using the "golden rule" for many years with success. Of course, if you prefer to play with members at your level of golfing ability, that is possible too. |
