Opening Day 2011

It was great seeing so many women back to playing golf with our group! We had a lovely sunny day for most of us. Some groups "enjoyed" a brief shower towards the end of their rounds. Just enough to cool you down!
Mary Lou Bannon selected a nice lunch for us to enjoy. Beth Yahara created the gorgeous scoreboard pictured above with "Back to Golf" apple theme. Greg Lecker, DOG, presented engraved crystal bowls for winning the "Play with the Pro" Tournament  to Lynne Scielzo, Diana Reek and Shirley Budden.
  We are off to a great start. Enjoy the rest of our season. Remember, if you want to be a part of Team Days, generally the first Tuesday of each month, get $10 to Shirley Budden. Our 2-day Member-Guest is October 17 & 18. Sign up on ForeTees or call the Golf Shop. You may invite one or three guests to our Oktoberfest!
Check the EVENTS tab on ForeTees often and sign up for all of the events planned for your enjoyment.
