From the Pro ~ June 2020
Dear Members,
May has come and gone and Golf was in full swing. We have had some beautiful weather and even more of a beautiful Golf Course to play on. The start of the 2020 Golf Season is one to remember and we thank you for your cooperation during all the changes. As we sit and wait to enter the next phase of PA, we have adjusted to the times and developed some unique style of events to keep the competition going. You may have seen flyers of events starting soon, so if you have not signed up, please do so as they are filling up quickly. Please see below for information of some current shop sales, handicap procedures, exchange days and upcoming fitting days.
Online Golf Shop- The Knaus Special(s)

Lessons
Jesse and I are in full swing with lessons and would love to better your game in 2020. One of my favorite quotes from Jack Nicklaus, “Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your talent, there is only one way to obtain it- work.”
