However, course conditions will dictate when scores can be posted and will be posted in the Golf Shops. - The water/ice machines at both courses will be winterized and closed until approximately Monday, 15 March. - The restroom at White #3 and #7 at Arlington will remain open through the winter months. - The Restrooms at Red #4 at Fairfax will be open whenever the golf courses are open.

CHANGE IN GOLF SHOP & COURSE HOURS

Please note that beginning 1 November through 31 March, the Golf Shops will be open between the hours of 7:00 AM and dusk. The golf courses will be open between the hours of 7:30 AM and dusk.

2021 SENIOR MEN’S GOLF ORGANIZATION

The Senior Men’s Golf Organization (SMGO) invites all ANCC members age 55 and over to participate in our men’s senior golf program in 2021. This is organized play that develops new friendships and enhances your enjoyment of the game of golf and Club facilities. Let us hope we have a better year of golf than 2020 turned out to be! And thanks to you all for being patient and

understanding as we finally had to cancel our 2020 season due to COVID-19 issues. This program features an ABCD scramble at 8:30 AM typically on the first and third Wednesday of each month, at the ARL course, from April through October. Other tournaments may be scheduled when play dates are available. All ANCC members are welcome regardless of their handicap. If you were a member in 2020, your membership will automatically be renewed for 2021. A sign-up list for new members to the SMGO will be posted in the ARL Golf Shop by 1 December. If you do not want to participate in 2021, please indicate your decision to be deleted on the sign-up sheet at the Arlington Golf Shop or you may contact Tim Campen at [email protected] or (703) 901-3609. New members who may be leaving the area for the winter are encouraged to sign-up prior to departing. The 2021 dues will be set prior to the opening of the season. Dues cover the cost of lunch in the Clubhouse at the completion of each of the 14 ABCD Scrambles...best lunch deal in town! Standard cart fees are charged for each event in which a member participates. A $10 entry fee for the prize pool and cost of coffee and pastries, available before each ABCD Scramble, is collected at check-in prior to the 8:30 AM tee off. Dear Abby, I’ve never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs. Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with “the girls” a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, “Just some friends from work, you don’t know them.” I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with “the girls.” It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it? Signed, Perplexed A CLASSIC JOKE WITH TIM RITTER

is four-ball match play with a 3-point Nassau, combined with a sweepstakes competition. We use handicaps in all matches and our team members have handicap indexes ranging from the single digits through the thirties.

61 ST ANNUAL MEMBER GUEST GOLF TOURNAMENT JUNE 24, 25 & 26 2021

Entry Forms Available Online 1 March 2021 Lottery Will Be Held On 3 March 2021

2021 NORTHERN VIRGINIA RETIRED MEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION (NVRMGA) Don’t miss out on a great experience competing against other country clubs, playing a variety of local courses. If you are 50 or older and retired from at least one occupation, you are eligible to join the league. ANCC fields two separate teams which are very competitive in league play -- one at Arlington and one at Fairfax. Both teams are always looking for new players. During the 2020 season, the league showed that it was able to safely conduct competitions between its 15 clubs. After initial golf restrictions were eased in late Spring, the league’s weekly Thursday matches resumed. Observing the full range of COVID restrictions in effect, between eight and twelve foursomes were able to play each match. During the season, each team plays 12 other clubs twice, once at home and once at their away course, for a 24-match season. The home club provides practice balls and waives green fees. In a ‘normal’ season, the hosts provide morning pastries, coffee, and a sit-down lunch afterwards. This past year, COVID safety restrictions limited clubs’ ability to provide all these amenities, though we hope to be able to do so next year to the extent possible. The league’s season runs from early April through early October. Play is on Thursday mornings and

As 2020 draws to a close we can reflect on what has been a very challenging year for all. We are eternally grateful for everyone at the Club who made it possible to maintain our sanity with the opportunity to for limited socialization and great golf. I want to thank Emily McGee for her calm steady leadership through this difficult year. Our new Board is as follows: President: Deena Hollingsworth VP: Kelly McGowan CWGO: CAREER WOMEN’S GOLF ORGANIZATION Melissa Gilkes-Smith and Emily Graves- Odria Now is the time to look ahead to 2021 without letting our guard down. A vaccination program is starting but it will be several months before we are able to protect most of our nation. That means we need to continue to avoid large groups, remain socially distanced and especially wear a mask. CWGO is busy making plans for the new season. We will be organizing a couple of Zoom social hours in the winter months so stay tuned. We are looking for volunteers to fill various positions so if you have an interest in helping, let any of us know. More to follow in the January CWGO newsletter. May you find peace and joy in the coming year. See you soon (virtually of course). Secretary: Alice Kennedy Treasurer: Michelle Go Lai Membership: Dianne Foreburger Special Events Co Chairs:
