President’s Comments:
Happy New Year!! Welcome to 2010
and a brand new season of KMGC tourna­
ments and other events. As we start into
this new year I would like to acknow­
ledge and thank a very special group of
our members who have contributed much
time and effort in making our Club as good
as it can be. My fellow Board members
Tim Hastings, Hewitt Hornbeck, Jason
Dubrovo, Anthony Lopez, Galen Pratt, and
outgoing treasurer, Luke Floor all deserve
a big “Thank You” from all Club members.
Also a special thanks to Greg Floor, Tony
Martino, Bruce Pearson, and Arni Osvalds­
son for their help.
We will be having our first General
Meeting on Tuesday, January 19th and first
Home Tournament on Sunday, January
24th. Hope to see a lot of you there.
It was sad to see my longtime athletic
hero, Tiger Woods, fall from his lofty perch
this past month. I would have never imag­
ined him to have such a contrary personal
life compared to that golf persona he has so
perfected over the past fifteen years. I am
hoping he can repair the severe damage he
has caused to his family and his perceived
public image, and be able to soon return
to playing the unbelievable quality golf
to which we have grown accustomed. He
deserves, as we all do, a second chance to
prove to us all that he is indeed that person
we believed him to be. It will be interest­
ing to see if he is successful or not, and if
the public accepts and positively responds
to his new revamped image. I only wish I
had half of his golf game!!

Rules Report 1/1/10 by Greg Floor
Definition of a “Burrowing Animal”
A “burrowing animal” is an animal that makes a hole for habitation or shelter, such as
a rabbit, mole, groundhog, gopher or salamander. Burrowing birds also are considered
­burrowing animals.
(A hole made by a non-burrowing animal, such as a dog, is not an abnormal ground condi­
tion unless marked or declared as ground under repair)
That’s it. HAPPY NEW YEAR y’all.

__ JANUARY HOME TOURNAMENT
Get Ready for 2010
HERE ARE SOME FACTS THAT MEMBERS NEED TO
BE COGNIZANT OF FOR JANUARY 5 AND BEYOND.
WITH THE NEW GHIN, (GOLF HANDICAP AND
­INFORMATION NETWORK) your member number will
change. In general it will be the same but preceded by a
9. Your new number will be a 7 digit number and for a few
members a new number will be issued, (approx. 5%). The
new score recording screen will be different looking but
similar in application. A sheet will be by most keyboards
in golf clubs to assist you in adding a score to your record.
Each member’s index will be updated twice a month. Once
on the 15th and at the end of the month. We will not have
stickers issued for each member but I will endeavor to post
all members indices on our club board. If you make a mis­
take posting, only the Handicap chair or Member chair can
rectify the error.
Internet address available for members to post and get
information is: www.plga.org
On this web site there will be a place for members to add
their email address to receive plga information and handicap
information directly.

Time may be a great healer, but
it’s a lousy beautician.
It’s a lot easier to get older than it
is to get wiser.
Seen it all, done it all,
can’t remember most of it.
Nothing is foolproof to a
sufficiently talented fool.
