Congratulations Mad River!

Thank you to everyone at Mad River who so generously donated to the Gilda’s Club Red Door Campaign.

Our collective donation of $16,000 will go a long way towards helping those individuals and families whose lives have been touched by cancer in our local communities.

We are especially grateful to co-hosts Susan Tremblay and Karen Franklin who spearheaded this event and made it happen during Covid-times. Their tenacity and hard work made for a wonderful event enjoyed by 56 ladies on Tuesday, August 25th. Kudos to you both!

Stay well and stay safe everyone!

Rules Question of the Week

Aug 20

If a ball is hit out of bounds or a possible lost ball, there are two options you are allowed to take. You can either re-hit from where the previous shot was taken with a penalty of one shot, or you can drop in the fairway no nearer to the hole with a penalty of two strokes. The second option was recently included in the revised rules of golf to maintain pace of play.

Clubhouse Reservations

Aug 20

CLUBHOUSE RESERVATIONS:

Thank you to all the members that have been choosing to stay for dinner over the summer. Otta, the servers and I are happy to hear that you're enjoying yourselves and the food.

In recent weeks, we have had a significant increase in members staying for dinner, which can be challenging for us given our staff size.

As a result, we are requesting that you please make a reservation if you intend to stay for dinner. You can leave the reservation in person or call the clubhouse at 705-428-3673 ext. 6.

This will allow us to organize the team as well as tables. Our goal is to make sure everyone has a table and an amazing dining experience in a timely fashion. The Food & Beverage Team thank you for your understanding and patience.

Clubhouse Hours:
Kitchen: 7:00am - 7:30pm (may close at 6:30 if the tee sheet has low numbers)
Bar: 9:00am - 8:30pm (weekends until 9:00pm)

Thank you,
Michelle Larcher
