Captain's Comment

The course is coming along; slowly but surely. I have to commend my workcrew for a great job in cleaning up the course and preparing it for the 2011 Golf Season. They have worked hard and diligently in getting the course in shape for your golfing pleasure. It has not been easy, but it is coming along! ...A Special thank you to my brother-in-law John Jr. for organizing and overseeing his son and his nephews in helping with the cleanup of the course.

A special welcome to our new bartenders, Dan and Ann, and our new Chef, Rick Petrella...Stop in and see them and grab a bite to eat.

Just a reminder: In order to keep the course looking its very best for you, the Members, I can't emphasize enough the importance of doing your part in helping me and my crew maintain it and keep it in good shape. Please take the time to follow what are "Simple Rules" of the Course. These rules are only enforced to keep the course in good shape. Please Follow Cart Signs, Replace Divots, Fix Ball Marks, and Rake Traps. This will help add to the beauty of the course and make your golfing experience much more enjoyable.

So for now, let's hope May is better than April and we can all enjoy the game of Golf. Hope to see you on the Course.
