Community Campaign
We are excited to announce that our 2018 3 Jill’s and a Jack Tournament will be supporJng a very worthwhile organizaJon, Casa de los Niños.
For the past 40 years, Casa has lead the way in the prevenJon, intervenJon and treatment of abused children in our community. Their goal is to promote child well-‐being and family stability through educaJon, prevenJon and treatment for children who are abused or neglected.
They are currently raising funds to build a new family center to beier provide high quality integrated care for children and families in the Tucson metropolitan area. We believe that the funds generated from this year’s 3 Jill’s and a Jack tournament will help Casa de los Niños reach this worthwhile goal.
The tournament will be held on Wednesday, March 14th. Online registraJon will begin on February 14th. This popular tournament fills quickly, and we are limited to 36 teams, so be sure to register early. Teams are comprised of three women (who must be members of the GWGA) and one male member of the club. No spouses can be on the same team. The total handicap index of the team at the Jme of sign up must add up to at least 52 and may go as low as 50 on the day of the event. If you need help finding a team, please email me your name and golf index at [email protected] and I will try to find a team for you.
We are excited about this event and look forward to your support of Casa de los Niños.
Together we will work to change lives……for generaJons.

Rules by Nancy

Bunkers at The Gallery
100!!! 92!!! Those are not golf scores but the number of bunkers on Gallery North and South. 192 bunkers for Noah Gessler and his crew to maintain and 192 bunkers for us to try to avoid. I asked Noah what work was done on the bunkers this summer and he said that additional sand was added to the green side bunkers only -‐ at the time of overseeing. With 192 bunkers we have hundreds of rakes on the course. When finished raking please place the rake parallel with the fairway (not cross-‐wise). This way the rakes should have less influence on future balls coming that direction. This is a good time to remind you that The Gallery has a local rule allowing us to remove stones in the bunker with NO PENALTY. Good luck with the 192!
