Your 2011 STLGA Committees and What They Do

Your 2011 STLGA Committees and What They Do…
Awards: Marti Kennedy and Gloria Wimmer set out to find the neatest gifts for our Club Champion, Flight Winners, special awards, outgoing officers, and even find time to buy something special for all STLGA Members. Thanks to their shopping we all have a set of markers to circle all of those birdies and chip-ins.
Birdies & Chip-Ins: Someone has to keep track of those circled birdies and chip-ins so that at the end of the year the Award Committee knows who to buy the gifts for. Joan Mason and Linda Perna are the gals who tally this information and keep us updated throughout the year.
Broadcast E-Mail: The President, Pat Sutton, takes care of this and ensures that membership is updated on all the news and information regarding STLGA in a timely manner. Be sure to let her know if your email address changes.
Brunswick 25: Pat Gooding is our representative to this golfing around group. If your index is 25 or lower and you would like to play different courses, give Pat a call. There are 10 scheduled events and the cost to join the group is $25. The schedule and cost of events are listed on http://stlga.blogspot.com/.
Chaplain: How lucky we are to have Myrt Klein and Gloria Wimmer leading us in prayer before our meals together. They both know just the right thing to say.
Data Base: Sharon Winter takes on the task of keeping track of how many times we all play golf on STLGA’s league day. That’s how we know who played the most rounds each year, and who is eligible for specific tournaments. Be sure to let her know if any of your information in the Sea Trail directory changes.
Historian: Someone has to keep track of all of our activities, both social and golf outings, so Marge Layden and Lynn Wiedman can always be found with a camera to document it all. They also take care of putting all of the pictures in albums, so we can see how young we once looked.
Hospitality: This is a huge job and our Member At Large, Mary Alice Jerome, heads up an ever changing committee of people who plan our menus, set up the socials, shop for the food or arrange for a caterer, and clean up our mess. The Hospitality Committee is truly made up of you, the STLGA members.
Interclub: Nadine Cybyske is our contact person for yet another “off campus” golf group. The North Strand Ladies Interclub consists of six clubs: Black Bear, Long Bay, Meadowlands, Sandpiper, Sea Trail and Carolina National. We play a Modified Stableford Net format six times during the year at each club with 10 players from each club. Eligibility to play is a member in good standing of STLGA with five rounds of play and a 36 handicap index.
Lady Birds: Our Vice President, Jo Ann Barton, coordinates this activity. The Ladybird team consists of ten players. Anyone with a handicap index of 40 or lower can sign up. The players are flighted according to their handicap. It is a low gross, low net, and low putts tournament played at Ladybird member courses. Points are awarded to the STLGA players for participating and winning. At the end of the year, there is a Championship competition. The eight players who earned the most points during the year represent Sea Trail in this tournament. A sign -up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board in the Jones/Byrd computer room three weeks prior to an upcoming tournament. You can check out the schedule on http://stlga.blogspot.com/.
Member/Guest: Our annual invitational tournament finds Joan Mason at the helm this year. Duties include amassing a large committee to assist with invitations, prizes, gifts, a luncheon, and many other details to help make our guests feel special. This themed event is held in June and is a favorite so it fills up quickly.
Mentor: Our new members are welcomed by Mary Couch and Sandy Reynolds so that they will know all of the ins and outs of playing with STLGA and feel comfortable with all of us. A new member handbook that answers all of the questions a new member may have has been newly updated this year by Mary and Sandy.
Parliamentarian: Mary Lou Miller keeps all of us on track with Robert’s Rules of Order. She does attend our monthly Board Meetings as well, but does not vote on issues at these meetings.
Publicity: Each month you will find an article in the SeaTrailer entitled Heard Around the Bag Drop that contains newsworthy information and reminders about our league. Kate Goodrich makes sure timely information is placed there for you. She also sends our weekly results into the local newspaper. If Kate is on vacation, Denise Reiner will step in for her.
Sunshine: With over 140 members, STLGA has to keep up with sending cards to our members whether in good times or in bad. Virginia Foulds and Kathy Ivey are our Sunshine Girls and ask that if you know of someone who needs a card to please give them a call and let them know. They are also the ones who will be collecting your $1 for our 50/50 drawing.
Rules: And…last, but certainly not least, are our rule gals…Pam Fisher and Anna Marie Kozel. If you have a question on a rule, be sure to give them a call. We now have a spot on our blog page for a Monthly Rule Spot. Check it out!!

So, as you can see it takes lots of volunteers to run STLGA. This list does not even cover the elected officers, the Tournament Chairs, the Handicap Chair, the Parliamentarian or the monthly coordinators of the weekly games, and those who sign up to host our special tournaments during the year. Your STLGA Board truly appreciates your support and participation!
A BIG Thank You to all who help us all have so much fun!
