GOLF
Dear Members, Welcome back!! It is a great time of the year; the weather will hopefully be a little cooler soon, and many of your fellow members and friends have returned for the season. November is also a month in which we kick off the season with many opening events. The Men’s Opening Day was held on October 26th, and 116 men participated. The weather was perfect, the pace of play was less than 4 hours, and the food and beverage team served a great lunch afterward in the Pavilion. Hopefully, this is a precursor for how all the golf events go this season. Friday, November 4 and Monday, November 7 , is the Men’s Presidents Cup. This is a 2-person team event, 8:30 shotgun both days. Round 1 is better ball of partners, and round 2 is Chapman (Alternate Shot). Contact the Golf Shop to sign up or for more details. Friday, November 11, we will be holding our 5th annual Veteran’s day golf event. Last year we had over 200 members, both Men, and Ladies, participate, and best of all, we donated 100% of the entry fee (slightly over $30,000) to the Fisher
House. This year we plan on making the event bigger and better, and we need your help, 100% of the proceeds with go to help Homeless Veterans so please mark your calendars for this special day. Wednesday, November 16 (This is a date change) Open round of the season-long Men’s ladder event. This will be a 2-person partners event and a single elimination event. This event will be flighted by combined handicaps. After the opening matches on the 16th, competitors will schedule their matches within a defined time period. Friday, November 18 is the season’s first Nine, Wine, and Dine event. This is a make-your-own foursome event, followed by dinner. Shotgun start at 3:15 pm. Contact the golf shop to register. Health and Happiness,
J.R. Congdon Director of Golf jrcongdon@frenchmanscreek.com (561) 622-1620
