PLOTTING A COURSE TOWARD OPENING DAY!
The sun is coming out and the grass is turning green. You can feel it in the air. The start of the new golf season is less than a week away! Time to clean out the grooves and polish the shoes. Time to tee it high and let it fly. Stretch out your back and give it a wh ... and I think you get my point.
We welcome back the snowbirds from the South but hope they didn't raise their handicaps too much. The rest of us may need a few rounds to get back into the groove. Might need a few swings to knock off some of the rust. Might need a few holes under the belt to ... you get the idea.
Not only do we have Opening Day this weekend, but the men's GAP team matches are right around the corner, beginning on Masters Sunday. To add to the much-anticipated start of the season, your Tournament Committee has decided to offer a putting championship and Masters pool. Be on the lookout for more information and signups! Throw in a Srixon demo day and April should bring a lot of golf excitement ... if you catch my drift.
And finally, to the man in the pic. This is what happens when you wear a hat like that to Augusta! Some folks just don't get it...
Cheers,
Jason
Congratulations to John Kennedy and John O'Connell for taking the first organized event of the year! Representing the Irish well, "JK" and "Johnny O" had the rest of the field GREEN with envy posting a 7-under 63 to win by 2 strokes over Dave Hannum and Barbora Millichip. It is only fitting that the tournament's creator be the first one to lift the new St. Patrick's Day trophy!
Well played, John and John!
