Some of you may have noticed a decrease in participation in
the JustGolf tournaments this year. Whereas in past years each tournament had
between 40 and 60 competitors, this year’s attendance ranged from 20 to 42,
averaging 33 per tournament.
While some turnover every year should be expected, in the
past we seem to have replaced lost members with new ones. This year, losses far
outweighed gains.
It is going to prove difficult to book good courses if I
can’t guarantee at least 40 players. So I’m writing to ask your help recruiting
new members.
I have ordered business cards for JustGolf. I will
distribute them to those of you who are playing at Linwood, and will mail them
to anyone else who requests them. I would like you to store the cards in your
golf bag, and give them to anyone you play golf with that you feel would enjoy
competing in our tournaments. If you are not playing at Linwood, please send me
an e-mail to request business cards.
I do not want to disband JustGolf, but we will need more
members if we are to remain a viable organization. I appreciate any efforts you
make to recruit new members.
Thank you,
Linda
