Happy New Year! 

So glad to finally see 2021 in the rear view mirror; it's time to look ahead to another season of GFG. We're already planning a number of new twists to our weekly routine. Watch for more information to follow.

If you haven't made your New Year's resolutions yet, we'd ask each of you to consider adding "host a GFG event this year" to your list. Yes, it's a bit of work, but it's a lot of fun. And who doesn't like to make the rules? As a peer-led organization we all benefit when more people are involved in planning and leading our events.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again out in April!

We’re upgrading our old computer program! 

Using the “Randomizer” to pick the teams each week is out – too many duplications of pairings. Crazy. What are the odds that you’d end up playing with the same person for two or three weeks in a row? 

Bob Wassick has developed a new team generation system that promises to minimize this problem. No, it doesn’t use Artificial Intelligence (maybe next year), it’s just some very slick Excel macro programming to minimize the duplication of parings. He has tested the system using the signups from this past year and it looks good. It should be many weeks into the season before you find yourself with previous playing partners. 

There will always be some circumstances that can short circuit the system, like when a last minute signup is added to an existing threesome, but we’re certain you’ll enjoy this big improvement this coming season.
