The New Golf Season

It was great to see so many of you at our most successful Tee-Off in many years!  On March 9th, we welcomed almost 200 people to help celebrate the start of the 2008 season.  I hope all of you got to take advantage of our wonderful exhibitors, enjoy our fashion show and guest speaker, revel in the marvelous view at Brooklake Country Club on that glorious day and reconnect with old friends while making some new ones.

March is indeed upon us with both intense bad weather and glimpses of the spring to be.  It is also time to start “officially” getting ready for the upcoming golf season.  Hopefully, at this point many of you have signed up for the league(s) of your choice.  We do realize that there is far more demand for certain leagues than others and that we do tend to “sell out” our most popular leagues.  For those of you at the Tee-Off, you may have heard me refer to a secret weapon of how to get the most out of your chapter membership.  It is the substitute opportunities that can reduce the stress in committing to every week for the whole season or open up all new opportunities to try more courses and meet more people than you would only participating in one league.  I highly encourage all of you to at least sub in one league – you control when you actually play and how much you spend.  Our 2008 League Meeting and Networking Social is coming up at the Knoll on Thursday, April 17th and all league members and subs are encouraged to come meet your coordinators, fellow league members and potential substitutes/ potential people to sub for.  It is a terrific event and it is free to all!
