Bay Area Beginner Golf Meetup Group

Join this group if you
. feel like you are a beginner
. don't take golf too seriously, just want to play, have fun, enjoy the weather, and meet new friends

We play various 9- and 18-hole courses around the Bay Area. If a meal or a drink follows a round, it is optional, so don't feel obligated to stick around.

Also, if you purchased a deal from GroupGolfer (http://www.groupgolfer.com/) or Groupon (www.groupon.com), feel free to let the group know by suggesting a meetup. Maybe some of us purchased the same deal, so we can try to make arrangements to play together.

ATTENDANCE and RSVPs:

When you receive notifications of scheduled meetups, it is not necessary to reply "No" if you are not attending an event.  You have the option to click on "Yes" or "No," but you don't have to; you can simply delete the email without replying.  Of course, if you RSVP "yes" then your plans change, you must update your RSVP to "no."

Do not RSVP for a meetup if there's a chance that you might have to cancel at the last minute.  It's better for you to RSVP at the last minute than to cancel at the last minute.

* The first no-show will be given a warning.  A second no-show will result in the removal from our group.

* Last-minute cancellations are frowned upon.  A last-minute cancel is if you cancel your RSVP after the RSVP deadline or after an Organizer/Event Host has posted the group assignments, which might be a day or two before the RSVP deadline.

* A combination of a no-show and last-minute cancellation will also result in the removal from our group.

* Last-minute cancellations will be accepted for our "regular" members who have a good attendance record--until it starts to become a habit.  Regular members currently with spotty attendance records will be given a warning the next time they do a last-minute cancellation.

Thank you for observing and respecting the attendance policy.
