C. The ejection rule was discussed, and passed as written in the August minutes. The rule reads as follows, and will be incorporated into the by-laws:
All ejections will be reviewed by the executive committee, after the first game suspension, provided there is no conflict of interest. Also, the BOD may add additional penalties if needed.

D. The Arnold Fowler Award was discussed, and a form will be posted on the web-site to be completed by any member of the league. Nominations will be accepted and placed on a ballot to be voted on by the players over the next few weeks. The award is NOT a popularity contest, but based on the accomplishments of the person with regard to: sportsmanship, integrity, dedication and teamwork. John Humeston, Bob Werner, Mike Parson, Andy Tubbs & Ray DeLuca will serve as the vetting committee for nominations and acquire pictures of said nominees.

I’ve been to this tournament even though it’s not the Masters, which marks the unofficial beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. Although the date is not exact, April is the day golf is played again in the central/northern United States. The snow begins to disappear, golfers save the clubs they held five months ago, and every second weekend in April they gather in front of their televisions to watch a unique show. The intense green of the fairways contrasts with the white sand of the bunkers, and the blooming azaleas give the place an unparalleled color. I write about the sport this way because I’m a writer and I often have to hear someone write my paper at https://writemypapers4me.net/ from college students, but in those moments when I’m on the course, I forget about everything.
