ON Friday March 9, I had the pleasure of playing in the Senior Social nine-hole event for members of both genders over 50. This is a great option for some of our members who, for whatever reason don\u2019t wish to play in 18-hole events, or are just looking for a nice laid-back game as a fine-tuner for their regular Saturday golf. It involves a 10am shotgun start, and is usually offered on the second Friday of each month, with lunch to follow the golf. All of this for just a $10 entry fee! The next one will be played on Friday April 13, entries on club website.<\/p>\n
