(continued from p. 26) In June the group played a new game called Toss or Roll. The main game was a scramble. Each team substituted a toss or roll instead of ONE stroke during the 9-hole round. The team all had to agree when they wanted to use the toss or roll. Each player tossed or rolled their ball instead of using a club. Let us know if you liked it or not. After the game we had our monthly Lunch with Friends. Did someone really lay on the green and use the end of their club similar to a pool shot for their “roll”? The Niners collected items for Polk County Senior Orphans whose mission is to provide basic household items for low-income seniors. The Niners have been involved with this program for a few years and have helped many seniors throughout Polk County. Thanks to the generosity of the LA Niners, our last donation stocked their shelves for a year with laundry and cleaning products, so this summer she had some specific requests for Comet, window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner and brushes, sponges, shaving cream and disposable razors. Thank you, ladies, for your continued assistance with this charity. Still have questions? Interested in joining the Niners? Contact Janet at jan.mutz@gmail.com for more info!

Here are five tips that help speed up the pace of play without having any negative effect on your game. • PLAY READY GOLF. • Always carry a spare ball in your pocket in case a provisional is necessary. • Line up your putt before it is your turn, so you are ready to putt. • Always record your score at the next tee. Never record your score at the green. • Per USGA rules, do not spend more than 3 minutes looking for a lost ball. The July schedule includes: July 6th – Best Net of A&D/B&C; July 13th – Pick Your Foursome, 3 Best Nets; July 20th – Six, Six, Six; July 27th – Beat the Board, Best 3 Nets. 28
