April marks the beginning of the season for golf events at JCC. The Mens and Womens Associations will start weekly playdays. With the beginning of leagues and tournaments players should be making themselves familiar with the changes to the rules of golf made by the USGA in 2019. The Players edition of the rules of golf is available thru the USGA and we have copies in the golfshop. There is also an APP Available from the United States Golf Association that may be downloaded to your smart phone. The USGA website is another very useful resource for Rules and other golf information.
Reciprocal agreement with Clear Lake CC continued for 2019:
The agreement will allow JCC members to play golf at CLCC without paying a green fee on specific dates during the 2019 Season, and will allow CLCC Members the same playing privileges at JCC on dates that have been agreed upon by both clubs for. The Dates have been determined by the availability of Tee Times at each club, and are chosen to give club members an opportunity to play when their home clubs availability is limited by a golf event. Those wishing to participate must make reservations through their home golf shop and are allowed to schedule one week in advance.
Dates that JCC Members May schedule a Tee Time and play as a member at CLCC:
April 6,15

As many of you know, when we host large outside tournaments, the club does not have enough rental carts to accommodate the number of players in these events. Stop in to let us know if you are interested in allowing us to rent your carts to the players in these events, we would greatly appreciate it. When your carts are used the rental fee can be paid to you in either cash or golfshop credit.
