1.     Junior Golf Contributions:      As you may know we ask for donations to Junior Golf on the Application forms you fill out each year to join/rejoin the Club. We made a donation in your names to the Napa Valley Junior Golf Academy, which is located at Kennedy Park Golf Course. We received a very nice thank you note from Tara Lipanovich who runs the Academy, and the note is copied below:    Dear Napa Golf Course Men's Club,      I cannot thank you enough for your very generous donation to the students of the Napa Valley Junior Golf Academy. Your contribution will benefit the students directly in the form of pizza after our tournaments. We had a tournament on June 26th and the kids were very excited to see pizza in the clubhouse after their round. They knew it was donated by the Napa Men's Club and they were very thankful.    We really appreciate your support and thank you again.       Sincerely,            Tara Lipanovich     2.   POSTING of SCORES       The NCGA has just published a new Handicap Manual, and we have just published our latest money winners list. Any connection? To several of our members the answer is "yes", since they are questioning the handicaps of several individuals in the Club.       So, ONCE AGAIN, I will try to clarify the situation regarding the POSTING OF SCORES.       From the NCGA Handicap Manual: "Two basic premises underlie the USGA Handicap System, namely that each player will try to make the best score at every hole in the round, regardless of where the round is played, AND that the player will post every acceptable round for peer review. The players and the player's Handicap Committee have joint responsibility for adhering to these premises."     The definition for "acceptable round" includes: a. If 13 of more holes are played.  b. Adjusted gross score for EVERY round played. c. Score in all forms of competition (where you play your own ball). d. Scores made under the Rules of Golf.       So what happens if a player does not post every round he plays? According to the NCGA Manual: "A Handicap Index must be adjusted up or down if the player does not turn in all acceptable scores, or otherwise does not observe the spirit of the USGA Handicap System. The Handicap Committee must determine the amount of adjustment."       I can only sum up the above with the following:      If you adhere to the Spirit of the Handicap System, you will make your club stronger and all our members accepted at all other golf clubs.           I am willing to discuss the Handicap System with any member who may not understand the nuances contained in it.  John Harrison President
