Season in Review

2022 really was a terrific summer in many respects, many members suggested to me the course conditions were the best in memory.

Our Department Managers, Chad, Sandy, Trish, Michelle and Carl worked tirelessly and I’m grateful for their efforts and dedication. We had a terrific group of seasonal employees and a particularly strong group in food and beverage. Also critical to our success, were the efforts of our key golf course and golf operation, f&b and clubhouse personnel.

Hello Everyone, 
Over the past two years I’ve gotten to know more of you as your Ladies Captain. It’s been fun to be involved behind the scenes and work with our Mad River team. I learned a lot and have an even greater appreciation for how lucky we are to have such a special group who work together to make Mad River the place that it is. We have an amazing golf course (#38 in Canada) at our doorstep filled with great friends.

Once a captain always a captain at heart. I will continue to be a proud ambassador for Mad River. It has been an honour to represent you. I leave you in good hands with Karen Franklin as your incoming Ladies Captain. Good Luck Karen!

Remember Ladies, next year is the year we switch up partners for Match Play. If you haven’t already, think about organizing your partner early. Don’t be left without one!

Words of Dr. Seuss come to mind, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

Enjoy the off season and I look forward to seeing all of you in the spring.

Susan Quigley, Past-Captain

Hello fellow golfers!

I hope you were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather in early November and golfed at a few other clubs after the Mad closed.  Imagine golfing into November in double digit temperatures!

It was a wonderful golf season and on behalf of all of us, I’d like to thank our captain Susan Quigley for all her hard work over the past two years.  She did an amazing job as captain and her efforts were well-appreciated.

I look forward to taking on the position of Ladies Captain and would like to formally introduce you to our new assistant captain:  Patti-Ann Irwin-Allen! PA and I look forward to working together to meet the needs of our lady golfers at Mad River.  Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or concerns.

Our members have shared with me the various plans that they have for the off season.  Whatever winter plans you have, please stay safe and healthy.  See you in the spring!

Your Ladies Captain,
Karen Franklin, [email protected]
& Ladies Assistant Captain, Patti-Ann Irwin-Allen [email protected]
