Dear Members,

Welcome to the 2010 season.

The annual spring meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9^th at 7:00 PM at the Laurel Athletic Club, 14 North Street, Norwalk.  We will review many of the items in this report and get updates from Vinnie Grillo on the condition of the course.  Coffee & donuts will be served.  The meeting is also a convenient time to ask questions of the Board and pay your 2010 dues to become tournament eligible.

Dues for 2010 will remain the same as last year.  That is $60 prior to April 1^st and $65 from April 1^st on.  Junior players and college students will have the same discounts as last year.

Members who wish to participate in Metropolitan Golf Association (MGA) events and receive the Met Golfer magazine will be able to do so by paying an additional $10 in dues.  We have created a second golf club called The Fillow Street Golf Association for this purpose.  You must be a regular member of the OHGA in order to take advantage of this supplemental membership.

Please make note of the sign up dates for the Club Championship, Senior Club Championship and the Governor’s Cup (2 man teams).  The Tournament Committee will not accept any late entries this year.  We will have 2 qualifying weekends for the Club Championship again this year, but only the flights with more than 16 sign-ups will have to qualify.  Flights with 16 or less sign-ups will be seeded by handicap index. 

This year’s awards banquet/fall meeting is being scheduled for Monday, October 25^th.  The cost is only $15.00 and is open to all members.  This is an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful dinner with your friends and see golfers of all levels being recognized for their achievements during the year.

The OHGA Board wishes everyone in the association a successful and healthy 2010!

Shelly Guyer

President, OHGA
