Our annual competition this year will be held on the 23rd of September, consisting of an individual flighted Stableford and a Team Event.  For the team event, each golfers on a team plays his own ball throughout the round - just regular stroke play for each golfer. The difference in a 1-2-3 Waltz is the number of scores counted on each hole.  In typical best ball or better ball, it's only the one low score per hole among the teammates that is counted. But in 1-2-3 Waltz, it's the one low ball, then the two, then the three that are counted. The effect is to keep all the golfers in the quartet involved in the action and contributing to the team score. Even the weakest golfer on a team will have opportunities to contribute to the team score.

Recreation has given approval for RHGC to hold our Re-Opening Day Event on the 11th and 12th

As a follow-up to Ed’s update on the clubhouse in his recent State of the Union message,  the RHGC clubhouse is a Community Services facility that will be run by Concessions and operated by Arabian Food Supply (AFS). We have been working with them to reopen the facility, and we are happy to announce that it is scheduled for a soft opening on Friday, September 4. What this means is that AFS will start with offering members limited items such as drinks, ice, snacks, granola bars, in addition to prepackaged sandwiches and fruit. Additional daily and week night food items will be added the following weekend once the menu is finalized, so stay tuned. At this point, the facility is considered members-only.

The maintenance crew will be irrigating the golf course all weekend. Please play around the water (Especially on Holes 2 and 10) and do your best to stay off highly stressed areas.
