From the Pro ~ October 2020
Dear Members,
This year keeps on keeping on and we can only hope October will be just as good. In September, we had an outstanding 5-Person Scramble and a unique Cross-Country Scramble. October will be just as good with our Couples Date Night, Fall Member Guest, and annual Pumpkin Par-3 tournament. We all know how beautiful Ligonier is in the fall, so we hope to see you on the course!

Sean & Jesse’s Patriot Golf Day Marathon
On Wednesday, September 2, Jesse, and I battled the wind, rain and sun while playing, walking, and carrying our golf bags. We managed to finish the day with 90 holes played and a generous donation of $3,400 that all goes to the Folds of Honor Foundation. We would like to thank the Ligonier Country Club members in supporting us and this wonderful foundation that supports families of fallen soldiers.

Congratulations to our following Golf Shop match play winners. We would like to thank all who participated, and we hope to grow this event next year!
