2022-2027 - Strategic Plan
Hopefully you’ve had an opportunity to read through the updated Strategic Plan for the Club. It’s available on the website and, if you prefer, contact Sandy or myself for a hard copy.

As part of our process to update our Strategic Plan, an important step involved reviewing the key pillars of our 2017 Strategic Plan, assessing their relevance today and our progress in achieving those plans and aspirations. These five pillars can be seen on the Introduction (page 3) of the current plan.

Ladies Captain Report

Submitted by Susan Quigley, Ladies Captain

Hello Everyone,

Another long weekend is upon us. How did it get to be the beginning of August?

August means it’s time for Club Championships? This year we are trying something different for the Ladies in attempt to increase support for the event and celebrate our course together. “A horserace” will kick off the event Thursday August 11at 430pm. Participants will be paired off , high and low handicaps together, to play a set number of holes depending on the size of our group. The pair with the highest score each hole will be eliminated. We all move on, as players or cheering bystanders, until we have a winner. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served afterwards, wrapping up around 630pm. First rounds are Friday afternoon August 12 with final rounds Saturday morning August 13, followed by a complimentary drink and hors d’oeuvres. Our championship flight will be stroke play from the purple tees, while all others will play Stableford from the red tees. If enough interest there could be a yellow tee category. Please consider signing up. We are doing our best to create a fun celebratory event. No pressure, only if you want it! Sign up is now open.

Member Guest

Our Member Guest was held July 22nd. We were blessed by the Golf Gods with terrific weather. I have had nothing but positive feedback about the event. Congratulations to Dean Elliott and his guest David Nevells for winning the overall event and having a great day at the para mutual table.

We will be sending out a survey monkey to the members that took part in the event as a best practices and learning if there is anything we can do better next year.
