Where does the club get the scorecard yardage

Every round of golf you play more than likely you pick up a scorecard in the golf shop at the club you are playing. Well where does the club get the yardage for each hole and total yardage of the front, back and overall? It is a real good bet that the ASGA measured it and in fact it is required by the USGA that the ASGA measures every course that it rates before it is rated. All courses in the state of Arkansas has a course and slope rating therefore the ASGA has been at work behind the scenes attaining that yardage for our clubs and you.

I just returned from a trip to North Arkansas where I measured the course at Holiday Island just north of Eureka Springs, some how I forget what a quaint little city Eureka Springs is, lovely. A great getaway course and city and should be marked on your calendar as a place to visit and play around of golf.

Anyway the next time you pick up that scorecard remember that the yardage on the card more than likely was the work of the ASGA and that is part of the benefits you receive from your annual $15 ASGA dues.

Hit it down the middle!
