President's Message

Dear Members, 

So far, this has been a memorable summer for the levels of heat and humidity! As a chapter with a golf season that is not year-round as others do, we should not complain. When you are out on the course, dripping, just recall the ice and snow in February and you should be able to cool off - mentally, at least!

The Minebrook outing day was warm, but all had a great time. As we always do, we feasted afterwards at Pub 199 – loved that lobster!

I have to give kudos to everyone who signed up – AND SHOWED UP – at the Winding Hills outing on July 10. I think it was about 15 of us who braved a veritable deluge on the NY State Thruway to slog our way up to the course, mostly knowing that the outing would be canceled. That’s determination for you! Thanks to Helena Van Norde for organizing the outing and for sending us home with our snacks, as well. Luckily, we are booked for another outing there in October. Also, for those who may be interested, Winding Hills is running a golf clinic on Aug. 17 and 22, from 10 – 3. The cost is $40 including lunch. Anyone interested should contact the course directly.

Our chapter has seen an increase in membership and a quite active golf season so far. I attribute it to the wonderful group of people who are at the core of our activities and events, who attend most, if not all, of them, and I thank you all for your support. It is up to all of us to be welcoming to prospective AND new members, so that they find out what a convivial and friendly gang we are. This will encourage greater participation in all of our planned events.
