FC Life February, 2017

The Homefront column is designed to inform our members where in the community our new residents are liv- ing and other residences they may have. It also keeps up with our present members who have stayed in the community but moved to new dwellings.

Of course we always wish our members who are moving out of the community good luck wherever their travels take them and our new members and established members good luck in their new address.

It was another wonderful Nine, Wine and Dine on February 3, and another day of super luck with the weather. Again there was a large turnout with enough players to cover both courses with four nine-hole flights, everyone playing a step-aside scramble. Our new Director of Golf, J.R.Congdon and Head Golf Pro, Rich Luchini and their wonderful golf staff did the great and efficient job organizing and running the tournament that everyone has come to expect. As usual, the post-golf cocktail party and dinner provided a perfect conclusion for an enjoyable afternoon, with both adding new and delicious culinary treats to the already great menu. Thank you to our super chef and staff. Co-chairs Carol Smith and Joanne Weinbach continue to provide us with lovely and successful events. Winners were not available at time of print… look for them in next month’s issue!

Ladies Golf Member Guest

The first Ladies’ Member Guest Golf Tournament of the 2016-2017 season, on February 7, was a resounding success in every way. The theme of the day, based on the Kentucky Derby, was the Frenchman’s Creek Derby, and everything really did “come up roses.” Wonderful weather provided a great start to the day. There was a large turnout of members, some of whom had up to three guests, with the guests representing forty-seven different clubs. Fifty groups, more than covering both courses, played a shamble format, with everyone hitting from the best drive and each continuing with her own ball from there. The players were divided into four flights, with a longest drive award for each flight. There was also a closest to the pin award for members and guests in each flight. For one closest to the pin, there was no question - - a hole-in-one by Lois Kleinberg on North 13. Following golf was a lovely cocktail party and fabulous luncheon offering a delicious buffet menu with a wonderful

variety of choices. The room was beautifully decorated in line with the theme and all the roses made for a very delightful setting. Even the imaginative dessert followed the theme with a lovely plate highlighted by

an “edible bonnet”. All participants received a gift of a pair of golf shoes that they were able to design themselves. How imaginative! Co-chairs Donna Baron, Dottie Kovel

and Sharon Rocklin and their committee did an absolutely marvelous job, which was supported, as usual, by Frenchman’s Creek’s wonderful golf and culinary staff. Pictures compliment of Norma LIppman
