I added a "Course News & Updates" box to each course page. It's a spot where you can add stuff that doesn't quite belong in course descriptions. Things like "New concrete tees added", "New baskets put in", upcoming work parties, etc.

I noticed a lot of that kind of stuff being added to descriptions which isn't really the spot for it and if it goes without being updated for a while, that new stuff isn't so new anymore. Each news item can be listed for up to 4 weeks (with options for 1 to 3 weeks) at which point it expires from view.

Also, a max of 4 news items can be active for a course at any one time. I doubt there would ever be 4 but if there are and someone REALLY needs to add something before the others expire, they can contact me and I can do it (the error message you get says the same thing).

Just an FYI, the Course News areas is not for listing tournaments, events, etc. Those things have their own areas.

Hey Tim,

Where should monthly events that don't occur according to a hard-and-fast rule be listed on this site, if it's now possible? For example, our local club hosts a "monthly" at each course one Saturday or Sunday a month, but which Saturday/Sunday varies by month based on other events on the calendar. Is there a way to handle this now?

Thanks!

You could just add them individually to the upcoming events when you know the exact date/time.

I'd do what mashnut said.. just add it as a regular event, check off saturday and sunday and then maybe point people to a site or indicate you'll update the event listing with the date when you know it.
