September 22nd Ontario Covid Legislation
As of September 22
nd, the Provincial government requires everyone entering certain businesses to be fully vaccinated. This includes our dining room.
From Sept. 22
nd until the dining room closes for the season, anyone wishing to access the dining room must provide proof of being fully vaccinated. Both members and guests must adhere to this requirement to ensure the Club remains in compliance with the Regulation.
This change only affects the interior of the clubhouse and not any other part of the golf course property. Additionally, this will NOT impact building access to use the entrance washrooms or golf shop or collecting food at Cupp’s Corner.

Hello Everyone, I’d like to start with a HUGE THANK YOU to Catherine Sendell and Mary Collins for organizing our Ladies Member Member event. Great turn out with 56 ladies in attendance. Surprisingly, the alternate ball format proved to be more of a challenge than we thought it might be! Good fun had by all. Michelle and her staff served up a great lunch on the patio afterwards. The flower arrangements were a nice touch, prepared by Sandy! Thank you as well to Gary, Sandy & Joyce for chipping in and helping with the lunch service. All of these individual efforts illustrate why Mad River such a special place!
Congratulations to Sharon Delorenzi & Donna Wickham for winning not only the event but the honour of hosting next year! Congrats also to the winners of closest to the pin, Jan Atkinson Hall on #7, and Mary Collins on #14.

Balance:

- To arrange, adjust, or proportion the parts of symmetrically
Balance, also known to many researchers as “the sixth sense”, is one of the fundamental elements of sport. Coach Wooden, the most decorated NCAA Basketball coach of all time, ensured that all his player’s new the importance of balance and he stressed this in every practice.
