Dish from the Commish

Players wanting to find out their exact handicap.

by George Natili on 08/02/11

Hey everyone if you would like to find out your exact handicap. You can either log onto www.route19tap.com and click on the national TAP website and then connect to the help desk or you can call me and if I am near a computer I will tell you. However I personaly don't think that it is a big deal weather I am a 5.6 or a 5.9 when I becom a 6 I will be proud of that acomplishment. Looking forward to being a 7 someday and so shoukld all of you trying to keep your handicap low is a way of never getting better at the game we all love.

Captains not submitting paperwork and player money

by George Natili on 01/23/11

This problem has gotten out of hand with a few captains. Any team nor current on their dues will NOT get any awards or cash until their captain clears the debit. Also the playoff spot will be eliminated and the captain bared for stealing player money. We are here for the fun and it stinks when some people take advantage of our league for their own gain. They will be gotten rid of "NO one player or team will Ruin our league"

Bye weeks

by George Natili on 01/23/11

Every Bye week is awarded 3 wins and 2 lost matches for everyone no matter what a bye is a bye
