The past few weeks have been busy with a number of events, from this point on the calendar of activities begin to ease. We have two final outside events, the Wardens, which we were scheduled to host in 2020 and has been postponed until this fall due to the pandemic and our final year to host the GTA Amateur Tour.
Our golf course contractors are schedule to arrive this week and will begin tee work on the back nine and continue through the fall. We expect tee disruptions to be minimal and updates will be provided on the “Member Central” page of the website.
We will be moving off the driving range turf and onto the new range mats in early October in order to give the driving range turf the opportunity to recover.

Well a lot of good golf being played at Mad by some of our members. This past Saturday, a personal best happened. Congratulations to a former Club Captain Andrew Senior! Most of us would have folded like a cheap suit when we realized we were even par after 14 holes. Andrew made mince meat of Cupp’s Mad Mile, with birdies on 15, 16 and 18! Wow, from the greens to boot! As Andrew himself would say, “Good shooting Tex!”
Ok, we ordinarily don’t mention hole in one’s that occur at different golf courses. This is worth a congratulatory note! Last week, Michael Rothfeld (Rocky) had a hole in one on the 7th at Mystic Golf Club. One may ask, is this worthy of a Mad Post recognition?
When it’s your third hole in one of the 2022 summer with the addition of a hole out eagle on 12 it certainly is worthy of a statistician to do a case study on this. Congrats Rock Star Rothfeld! Great shooting man!

The #1 flaw I see with players struggling with their short game is that they set up for power and not finesse.
If your upper body tilts away from the target, you have set yourself up for a power shot and not a finesse shot. Setting up for power will shallow your angle of attack and shift your low point further back, leading to both fat and thin shots.
"We are so grateful to be the beneficiary this year
and we thank all the wonderful people who
made it happen.
With appreciation,
Sandra Sullivan, Executive Director
