Open Play everyday?
We need your feedback!
The Board of Directors has been discussing ways of increasing income for the Club. An idea which has been discussed from time to time over the years is the possibility of going to Open Play everyday for local non members. Local non members are currently restricted to play on Mondays and Wednesdays. It is felt that changing to Open Play every day would possibly increase our revenue. Of course, we would not want to institute a major change in policy if our membership is opposed to such a change. If you have input for us, either pro or con, please fill out and mail the form below no later than December 9th so we may have your input for our next board meeting.

Thank you
Century Bank/Century Financial Services for sponsoring the tournament on October 12th. Thanks to your sponsorship, the club cleared over $650 on this event.

Cart Path Work
Thanks to the tireless efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers, we have poured a total of 600 feet of new concrete cart paths this fall, on #9 and #2.

Building Maintenance
The old guttering and facia have been removed and new facia board installed. This has improved the looks of the Club house. Remember to look next time you are there to see if you agree that the building looks much better.
