The only way to sign up for Wednesday Play and Standby also, is ONLINE.

You can pay by using the Smartphone App Venmo. I am keeping a spread sheet on payments so you can send any amount. There is a link on this page called "Member's Accounts" so you can see how much you owe or how much credit or if you are even. 

The Hole in One pool is suspended effective 3/21  because we have limited play. So don't get one!

The Bunkers are IN PLAY as long as the grounds crew power rakes them in the AM. There are no rakes so if your ball is in an unraked spot you may take a drop IN the bunker no closer to the hole. When done smooth your spot with your foot & club.

Spirit of the Game


In the etiquette section of the rules, states;


“Golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or an umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players  and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf. ”


                                            JOKE of the Moment                                         

A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you spend this on green fees at a golf course instead of food?" the man asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a hot shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?"
The man replied, "That's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and golf."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,

"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a
compliment."

I replied, "Your eyesight's perfect."

And then the fight started........

Current Handicap assignments to Flights and Tees as follows:

Men's League TEE assignments 

are determined by your Handicap Index. Updated 1/6/2020 to align to the World handicapping System. 

Simple: If your GHIN Index is 18.9 or less you play from the Blue Tees.

19.0 to 33.3 you play from the White Tees.  33.4 and up you play from the Green Tees

  If you are over 80 years old, you may use the tee of your choice, but once chosen you have to live with it for 6 months. Also you will be given the handicap appropriate at that tee box according to the World Handicapping system.


  FLIGHTS:  The Golf Genius program groups players into flights by index. Then converted to handicap according to tee assignment.

Flights are as follow: 

 Flight 1: Handicap  0 thru 16  Blue Tees 

                                       min index 0                                                     max index 18.9        

 Flight 2: Handicap 15 thru 19  White Tees 

                                        min index 19.0 

                                        max index 23.7

 Flight 3: Handicap 20 thru 28  White Tees                                             min index 23.8                                               max index 32.7

                 Handicap 26 thru 34  Green Tees

                                          min index 32.8

                                          max index 40.4

MAX HANDICAP for Barefoot Bay Golf Course is 34 per Ernie Cruz

Golfer:  You must be the worst caddie in the world!

Caddy:  No Sir, we couldn't 'ave a coincidence like that.


Golfer:  I've never played this poorly before.

Caddy: You've played before?



Golfer:  "Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."

Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that long?"
