New USGA Rules:
Golf at the Island Country Club is played under the Rules of Golf as published by the United States Golf Association. There has been a total revision of the Rules that became effective January 1, 2019. The Club will hold seminars this Spring to explain the Rules and answer questions, We have also posted on both the Men's and Ladies' Golf Bulleting Boards a USGA published, and remarkably easy to read, Summary of the Rules. 
 
Summer Rules
As of Friday morning May 10, all golfers must "play it as it lies," and observe the requirements of tee markings, out-of-bounds (white stakes) and red or yellow "penalty area" (one of new elements of the Rules) stakes. Scores must be posted. Again, only signed and attested scores can be entered. 

The entire course is now open, with no Ground Under repair areas. Please do not drive motorized carts or push hand carts through the fescue.

Don't Use Bug Spray on the Course
It discolors the grass and slows regrowth. It is important to use bug repellent because of the risks from tick, mosquito and fly bites. Black Flies are already out! Please apply it only while on paved or graveled areas.

 ICC Launches Art Silent Auction
Bidding Underway Through July 17

   

Dear ICC Members,


Have art? Like art?

I am organizing an art auction to benefit the club. If you have any pieces of art that you would like to pass on, here is your chance. I will be collecting donated art and displaying it at the club to be sold in a silent auction format. The pieces can be paintings, drawings, photographs, or sculpture in any medium. By the way, the art does not have to be created by you! 


To donate:

Bring your art to the clubhouse any time between now and July 3rd. I will display all pieces before Wine Wednesday on July 3rd and include a silent auction bidding form for each piece. If you would like, you may provide a small description of the piece. But you don’t have to; that is totally optional.


To purchase:

Come by the clubhouse any time between July 3 – 17 and bid on the piece(s) you like. Just write your name, phone number, and bid amount on the form. EASY! Bidding will close at the end of Wine Wednesday on July 17th. Winning bidders will be contacted and may pay for and pick up their purchases at the clubhouse.


Any art that is not purchased will be returned to the donor, if desired, or donated to another worthy cause.


Here is a chance to pass along any art that no longer suits your fancy, and to find great deals on “new” pieces to brighten your home. In addition, this silent auction is an opportunity to raise some funds for our beloved ICC.


Any questions? Feel free to contact me by email or phone.


Thanks for your participation,


Linda Kimbrell

Memorable Golf, Outstanding Tennis, A Treasured Island
