Here’s the scoop on the “Jersey Girls”
Jersey Meadow Golf Club works with two wonderful members to help run and organize the group. Kathy and Cindy do a fantastic job leading the “Jersey Girls.” Once you become part of the group – one of them will reach out with a welcome.
1. Recreational Ladies League (aka “Jersey Girls”) is a very laid back group of very nice ladies. Some keep score; lots don’t. All levels of play are welcome. Nobody cares if you move your ball, etc. They do care about pace of play. As a new member of the group – the other players will help you move along.
If you struggle as a new golfer here is a good plan:
* on a par 5 – hit the drive and three more times in the fairway. If you aren’t on the green or near it – pick up and wait until the rest of the group reaches the green. Bring your PW and putter to the green. Drop the ball near the green and chip one time. If is runs off – go a grab it and toss it on the green. Always be ready when it is your turn and then putt. If you miss that putt – try one more but if you miss – pick it up. (your max number of hits that hole will be 7)
* on a par 4 – hit the drive and 2 more times. Then pick up and wait until others reach the green. Chip once and putt twice. (your max number of hits that hole will be a 6)
* on a par 3 – hit the tee shot and 1 more time. Then pick up and wait until others reach the green. Chip once and putt twice. (your max number of hits that hole will be a 5)
If you try this method vs. quitting the hole and waiting until the next hole- you always chip and putt.
2. Each Wednesday (unless the course has a tournament) the group has a “shotgun” start at 8:50 am. A shotgun means the players/pairings start on different holes so they can finish close to the same time. Some ladies will stay after and have lunch in the Little Meadow Restaurant.
3. If you want to play, call the course 713 896 0900 by end of day Sunday and sign up. The pro shop will add your name to the tee sheet.
Most players sign up before or after the round for the next Wednesday. Just easier. If email is better for you, just send an email to jerseymeadowgolf@jerseyvillagetx.com. If you call – sometimes the pro shop can’t get to the call and you might get the answering service. The answering service won’t be able to add you to the Jersey Girls shotgun. Email or give the pro shop a call a little later.
If you need to cancel, please call or email the pro shop.
4. Jersey Girls organize play on Wednesdays, but you can play other days on your own. These are our current rates.

7. When you get to the course, check in and pay at the Pro Shop. Then check in with the starter and grab a cart. There’s a $15 Single Cart Fee if you want your own cart. Most of the players are comfortable paring up; some prefer their own cart. Most of the time Kathy and Cindy are waiting to greet the new members.
- If you do want to establish a handicap, Jersey Meadow will get you a GHIN number for $45 a year.
The most important things:
Call the course 713-896-0900 to sign up by end of day Sunday. If you need to cancel, call them and let them know. Be at the course and checked in by 8:30 on Wednesday so we can all tee off at 8:50.
