MEN ’ S EVENTS : No events were held in October .
CLUB EVENTS : Some upcoming events . MARK YOUR CALENDAR .
• Friday , Nov 25 . ( Day after Thanksgiving ). X-country golf tournament . Invite a guest or family member or gather some members to create a foursome . An odd assortment of holes will be created for a fun and challenging format . We will use teetimes starting at 9:00 . The last teetime for the tournament will be at 11:20 . Due to the crisscrossing of holes , we will have regular play for 9 holes starting at 2:00 .
• Mad-Hatter . Jan 1st falls on a Sunday so the Mad Hatter will be held on Saturday , Dec 31 . We will use a 10:30 shotgun start for this member and guest event . Create a foursome or sign up as an individual and the pro shop will help you formulate a team .
COLLEGES : As you are aware , The Washington & Lee men ’ s and women ’ s golf teams play out here . Both teams are ranked in the top 10 nationally , ( women 6th ; men 9th ) in DIII .
Also , Southern Virginia Univ men ’ s and women ’ s teams have had successful fall seasons . The women ’ s team won their own invitational at Lexington G & CC in October over an 11-team field .
COURSE CONDITIONS : The course is playing under fall conditions , which means leaves are now a topic of discussion . Jake ’ s crew will try to keep up with this factor . Enjoy the fall season and take advantage of those good and better days . The Putting / chipping green near the parking lot has recently received a great deal of attention and is in really good shape . We NEED everyone to REPAIR ANY AND ALL BALLMARKS created by your chipping . I prefer you use this green for bump and runs and not 30-yard pitch shots .
The driving range is what it is at this point in time . We are exploring some options that includes a mat system so that hitting conditions are consistent throughout the fall and winter . Grass will not grow this late , so a mat system will allow for grow in periods during the growing season .
DONATE your used golf balls and older clubs for use in our junior program .
Thanks ,
