Thank you to all that played and supported the club.
Patriots Golf Days will be held in conjunction with the Labor Day Weekend. The fund that we will be collecting that weekend helps children of US Soldiers that have been killed or very badly disabled. We have collected over $1500 in the past 3 seasons, please be generous. Everyone that donates $5 or more will be put into a drawing to win a basket donated by the Golf Shop.
Just friendly reminders:
- Please knock the sand off your shoes after leaving the bunker prior to entering green complex.
- Please check in at the Golf Shop prior to starting play. The Golf Shop needs to be aware of all players on the golf course.
- The range closes at 5pm at every Sunday for weekly maintenance.
Question of Month:
Q-What are the requirements when the siren blows for lightning in the area?
A-The requirements are as follows:
- Stop play
- Find shelter or vacate the golf course
- Wait for all clear to resume play
Anyone not adhering to this specific lightning procedure will be subject to the Board of Directors review.
Thank you,
John Klinchock PGA Professional
