Grande Meadows Golf Course Members Update August 21

Grande Meadows

Course Update

August 21, 2020

We are approaching the end of summer and the warm dry weather continues. Thanks to the effort of Bill Lee and the outside workers the course remain in great condition. I think most golfers will agree that the greens this year have been the best we have seen in a long time.

As well we should give a nod or a hello to the 3 gentlemen working on the JCP Project for their hard work pruning the trees along the course. Kudos to Kevin Myles, Joe Grandy and Kevin Bobbet. Thanks guys for a great job.

Congratulations to Roy George Cluett on his well deserved hole-in-one on Hole #7 on Sunday August 8. Roy was playing with his buddy Joe Dunne and Stan McCarthy when he aced the 148 Par 3 using his driver. Way to go Roy George!
