Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
Fall Arrived and We Noticed!
The Autumnal Equinox, which marks the end of summer, occurred Wednesday afternoon and we certainly noticed a change in the weather. That day we had overcast skies with temperatures in the mid-50s. What about Thursday? A complete washout--cold, raining and no golf. L.E. Kaufman golf course was unplayable. That brings up a point. What happens when golf is canceled? We have two simple rules. First, always assume we will play. Second, when in doubt call the golf course. We have workers at a course by 8:00 AM on tournament day and we evaluate conditions at that time. Since we do not have access to our website or bulk email system while at the course we cannot use those methods to contact members. Therefore, as stated above, when in doubt call the golf course. All members that paid for a canceled tournament will receive a credit to their account.
The Wednesday results from LE Kaufman will be posted by Sunday.
What Happened to Paul Foguth?
Numerous members have been asking what happened to
Paul. For years he was a constant presence at all our tournaments, both
regular and reserve divisions. Until just recently we had no answer to
the question. We knew that his house in Grandville was sold earlier this
year but numerous attempts to reach him via email went unanswered. There
were a couple of cryptic phones calls that just added to the mystery. A
few weeks ago, we learned that Paul’s wife passed away. At that time his
son, Bob, contacted the church Paul and his wife attended with the
information that Paul was in assisted living in Arizona suffering from
dementia. If you would like to send a card it can be addresses to Paul
Foguth, c/o Bob Foguth, 3323 N 153rd Dr, Goodyear, AZ 85395
Frequently Asked Questions
