New Stuff: We are playing on Thursday 9/11/25. We discussed doing something for the 1st Responders and we found that the 1st Responders would appreciate funds towards their Fire rescue boat for HSB. We will have an event on 9/11 to raise funds to contribute to their needs. 

  • Value Bank/Empower Wealth will be  sponsoring the event -Due to their sponsorship we hope to invite 1st Responders to have lunch with us. 

  • We have arranged to have both sides of Apple golf course with lunch afterwards- It is not a tournament- just playing golf and trying to generate some funds.

  • We are considering inviting 9-hole Men/others to help fill out the golf course and get more donations. 

 

  •  “Spill the Tee” sessions over the summer, which will be impromptu conversations with other L9H members. Would like to sit down after the rounds with members to discuss events etc- Likes and dislikes. Discussions of all things related to L9H including topics such as:

Closing remarks- Debbi Thomas:

 

In Golf Genius there is a running newsletter- from newest to oldest. 

Etiquette reminder - fill in sand for any divots- fix pitch marks on the green

There are plans to  set up another session for golf genius for our newer members. 

The early tee sheets seem to help reduce members on the waitlist. Most of the members that have been waitlisted have been able to play. If you need to cancel within 24 hours please call and let us know. It makes it difficult to figure out the handicaps for those affected teams.
