The league has scheduled a Scorekeeper’s training clinic for Thursday, February 16th at 7:30pm at the Harding Clubhouse. Attendance during the first 15-20 minutes of this meeting is mandatory for ALL scorekeepers. The league has changed the job description for 2012 and we want to be sure that new and experienced scorekeepers receive this vital information.
