There is lots of information to put in your calendar for now but there will be emails that come for each outing on these Mondays.  I may insert some other outings in between Mondays on other days such as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.  We may have catch up days or explore some other courses to get some of our favorites in this fall.  Stay tuned for emails on these BONUS DAYS for emails with information.

There may even be a couple weekend ones to include our worker bees on our email list too.

Now that most leagues are done, you will see that we may have 2 adventures on some weeks as it is fun to golf in the fall when the temperatures are a little cooler.  We are busy still using The Channel 13 cards for some courses, going to some of our favorites , and trying out some  of the courses you have suggested to get to if possible.  Let’s hope our weather cooperates for us through September, October, and November so we can experience more of the courses.
