The Big Sister program is designed to help new 9-Hole members acclimate easily to the league and the golf course. Each new member can be assigned a Big Sister if they so desire.  

 

As a Big Sister, you will play with them the first couple of times to introduce them to the course and describe what their membership entails using the following information as a guide:

 

• How and when to sign up on Chelsea

• How to find the Golf 9-Hole Ladies Website

• The event binder and where it is located

• The Chip in process (sign up and 25 cent deposit)

• When to arrive at the driving range before their designated tee time (or shotgun as necessary)

• Review the game schedule - explain the games and point out special events (for example our monthly lunch meetings and the Duke & Duchess—tournament)

• KISS events and encourage them to sign up for some (mention we belong to the Lee County Council of the ladies 9-hole golf association and that, at a minimum, our President attends the twice annual meetings and reports back to our members)

• Keeping score

• Golf etiquette

• Any additional aids that may help, for example, golf beads to help them keep track of their strokes, golf gloves, visors/hats, sunscreen, etc.

• Make sure to ask if they have any questions, if you don’t know the answer right away, ensure them you will find out and get back to them.
