From the Pro ~ May 2023

Dear Members,

The Golf Season has started out a little bumpy but soon we’ll be enjoying consistent sunshine, 80-degree temperatures, fantastic events and having your favorite cocktail at the pavilion.

Due to weather conditions we had to cancel Opening Day but were able to hold our 4^th Annual Golf Bash in the Pavilion. This was the first year where we had human interaction with our Golf bash. A total of 67 people came to watch, made small talk, and won extra cash and prizes. All 250 tickets we had sold and from that we were able to donate $1,200 to the Union Mission Shelter of Latrobe.

Now, May will soon be here, and we won’t leave you hanging as we have great events, social nights, and activities you can take part in. These include Ladies Social Nights, Bucks & Does, Intermediate Pints & Par-3 and Bedford Springs and Glengarry Exchange Days. We’re also pleased to announce that Nemacolin Country Club is now part of the Tri-County Golf Association. Unfamiliar with the Tri-Country, please see the Tri-County section below. Also, be sure to read below and see what Bucks & Does and our Intermediate Nights are all about.

Lastly, as the year starts, we want to make sure those that have been here awhile and those new don’t miss new items for this year. Please see all bullet points below on these items as well as events that may affect daily play for May.

 LCC Items:

• On Mondays, the Club and Golf Shop are CLOSED but the course is open for walking. ONLY Full Golf Members may play (no guests, social, etc.) If you plan on playing, for round purposes, there will be a clip board at the brick pillars by #1. Please sign your name and how many holes you played.

From the Pro ~ April 2023

Dear Members,

The Golf Season is off to a slow start, but don’t worry, the warm weather and sunshine will soon be here. We were able to hold one of two events in March and that was our Shamrock Open. Twenty-six brave souls played through the bitter cold but in the end, found their pot of gold, including our winners, Ron, and Shari Shannon.

Even though March was off to a slow start, April will be full of entertainment. For one, the best Golf event of the year, The Master’s will be on soon. To go along with this, we will once again hold a Golf Shop Master’s Pool and host our own Master’s Tournament. We’ll have our Virtual Golf Bash (60 tickets remain, 20 pavilion seats remain), Beginner Golf Clinics, Demo Days and Opening Day.

Along with events, April begins with many aspects dealing with the course and Golf.

 These include:

• Every golfer MUST CHECK IN with the Golf Shop before playing, even if you are walking.
• April 1 will start Group Times on weekdays and weekends. A few things have changed for this year, so all group members please reach out to your captain.
