    Christmas Time, Tee Time

    Don't miss the 4th Annual Christmas Tee event, Dec. 4, at Riverplace Country Club. The 4-person Florida scramble will shot-gun at 12:30pm. Individual and teams are welcome to sign-up. Unwrapped toys will be collected too!

    A Florida scramble is the same as a scramble, except the player's ball that is selected to play the next shot does not get to hit that shot. All players are eligible to putt. There will also be a "Christmas ball" game within the game and many other fun contests, so don't miss this festive affair.

    Designed by Tom Kite, River Place Country Club was voted one of Austin's best private clubs in 2004. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to play the 18-hole championship course with rolling hills and canyons -- which will prove to be both challenging and breathtaking.

    Yes, 'tis the season, to be SHOPPING!

    Earn rebates (CA$H!) by shopping online! Sound good? Maybe too good? Well, if I didn’t know the owner of the site, I wouldn’t believe it either. But I do.

    Rich Fletcher, AGP member, developed a pretty interesting concept in uBuyuWin.com. The uBuyuWin.com concept is simple. When you make purchases at select retailers thru the uBuyuWin.com website, you will receive rebates/cash back. 

    For example, shop at GigaGolf.com (via the uBuyuwin.com website) and receive 3.2% of your total purchase back, shop at Florist.com and receive 7.6% of your total purchase back, shop at LandsEnd.com and receive 2% of your total purchase back. Other featured retailers include: Blockbuster Online, Marriott, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Target and Sharper Image, to name a few. Let them know that AGP referred you, if asked!

    What is Armadillo Golf Players?
     
    Armadillo Golf Players is Austin's premier CO-ED golf league.

     

     

    Golfers play three five week, 9-hole tournaments in a two-person team handicapped scramble format on Sunday afternoons during daylight savings time. The format is designed to be enjoyable for golfers of every skill level. Teammates alternate each week so in addition to great golf, players meet fellow professionals and friends in this fun and informal setting.
