ASGA October 2023 Social

ASGA OCTOBER SOCIAL

What: ASGA Monthly Social Meeting
Where: Rohan Rec Center, 850 Kristine Way, The Villages, Florida
When: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 6-9 PM - Doors will open at 5:30

Details: This month we’re doing something a little different. After the Pledge of Allegiance and business meeting we’ll dive right in to socializing and enjoying some “pot luck” appetizers and desserts. Yes, I said POT LUCK which means you get to bring whatever your favorite snack food or dessert is to share with the group. However, we would like to make it just appetizers and/or desserts to keep things simpler and enable us to roam around and socialize while we snack on our goodies. In addition, in an effort to even things out between the two we ask that those whose last names begin with the letters A-M bring appetizers, and those whose names begin with the letters N-Z bring desserts. Also, please plan your contribution for approximately 15 people so that we don’t end up with a lot of leftovers. Thank you for your cooperation.

Note: Please don’t bring anything that requires electricity (i.e., crockpot) Also, we will place 1 or 2 carts at the entrance to the room for you to place your food contribution if you arrive prior to the doors opening. We will then move it into the room and place it on the food tables for you.

Following our snacking and social time, the incomparable Juanita Lolita will take the stage and entertain us with some of her hilarious repartee. She is known as Florida’s Funniest Female. It should be a great evening of fun and laughter so we hope you’ll come out and enjoy the evening with us.

FYIWe have implemented a new policy in an effort to create a more socially inviting atmosphere. There will be 2 reserved signs at each table at socials. These are for new members as well as individuals who just want a place to sit and join in the fun and meet other people

 BYOB and wear your name tag. Your Villages ID is required for admittance to the Rec Center.

Red Ball tournament.
1-  The game is played as such.  Each team will be given a Special Golf Ball. (the ball maybe red, orange or any other color that I can find)
All players tee off from the designated tee box that you normally play from. You do not need to tee off with your special Ball.
2-  From the spot of the best drive is where the Special Ball comes into play. Each team will have an A, B, C, and D player.

d.  Player D plays Red Ball – 4-8-12-16
3-  The other 3 players play a 3 person Scramble into the hole. The scramble team is hitting 2 after the drive. The Red ball is hitting one after the drive because it is the first time it is being hit.
4-  Then you combine the Red Ball score plus the Scramble score together for your team score. For example: You score a 3 with the Red Ball and the scramble score is 4. Add 3+4= 7 for that hole.
5- If you lose your RED BALL, you can’t record a score.   You MUST turn in your special golf ball with your scorecard at the end of the tournament.

Florida Cup

Every year one of Florida’s ASGA chapters hosts THE FLORIDA CUP. The September 2022 event was hosted by The Sarasota Chapter at the Streamsong Resort in Bowling Green, Florida. There were two tournaments each day: the Florida Cup competition and the scramble/shamble. Three Florida chapters of ASGA competed in the tournament with a 6 man and 6 woman team. All other golfers played in a scramble/shamble format each day for prizes in a mixed chapter foursome.

The Villages chapter won! (See more pictures on the photo page.)

The Florida Cup play between the chapters has been suspended for the indefinite future.
