It’s hard to believe that our golf season is into September already. We didn't lose many days for weather, but summer definitely lost its rhythm this year. Last week's weather aside, fall golf has arrived and does come with the risk of frost. In fact, we probably came closer this morning than we did anytime last September.
If we do get frost going forward, play begins with the first tee-time booked after the course opens. Tee-times that have passed have an opportunity to re-book into an opening or play the back-nine when it becomes available. Access to the back-nine also depends on maintenance staff getting out ahead of play.
Last weekend’s Partners Tournament enjoyed great weather for all 3-days. Winners in the Women’s Division were Kathy Ziglo and Patty Hersikorn. And in the Men’s Division, it was a 5th win all-time for the father/son team of Milt and Denver Grolla. Full results and photos of the winners can be found <HERE> on the SGCC Majors Page. Thanks again to the sponsors: Derek Kopp Realty (Derek Kopp), Raymond James Financial (Brett Graham and Greg Beswick), Reliance Gregg’s Home Services (Kathy Ziglo) and Interstate Batteries (Logan Hancock).
Congratulations to Carrie Verishagen and Chris Mearns on holes-in-one last Saturday during the Partners Tournament. Carrie got her ace on Hole #12 while Chris made his on hole #6.
Fun Fact: Two holes-in-one on the same day happens more than you would think at SGCC. It happened in each of the past 4-years, including twice last year and six-times in 2023. That’s right…there were 32 aces total in 2023 and six-times there were two on the same day.
Member Statements for August went out this week to everyone with activity on their account.
