APRIL 2013
From the President
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
COMMITTEES
NORTH EAST, PENNSYLVANIA
Greg Farrell
The club is now open or will be shortly. Come on out and have a great
meal and see some of the changes we are doing to the clubhouse.
They include painting the Entrance area, the Dining Room and the
fireplace area as well as new window treatments. The main bar will
also be stained. The grill room will feature a new wall unit and sitting
area on the east side of the room and there will soon be a new 55”
T.V. We are also purchasing new barstools for the grill room and main
bar. Behind the kitchen door we have purchased some much needed
equipment including a cooler, a stove, a flat top oven and a dishwasher.
All of this should be complete by the end of April.
The weather has not been anything like 2012. I think Rob said something
about having roasted groundhog on the menu with a balsamic vinegar
reduction sauce served over noodles.
President of the Board
We will be holding the spring meeting on May 1st, 2013 @ 6:00 P.M. At this meeting we will
be electing 3 new Board members. One member would be elected to a one year term, one
member would be elected to a two year and one member would be elected to a three year
term. In the future one member would be elected each year. Any or all of the current Board
members are eligible for election if they so desire.
Anyone wishing to run please see this newsletter for more information.
See this newsletter for further details on all of the month’s activities. Please feel free to send
your questions, comments or concerns to me at [email protected]
Regards,
Greg

TEE IT FORWARD
What is it? This is a program promoted
by the PGA and USGA to have more
players enjoy the game by playing
the tees that better fit their game. If
you are having difficulty reaching the
greens in regulation or consistently
using your fairway woods, try moving
up to the next set of tees. You will
enjoy the game more and you will
play faster. A chart is posted in the
pro shop with guidelines to choose
the proper tees for your game. Have
more fun!
TEE TIMES WILL NOT BE
REQUIRED IN APRIL
Restricted tee times are enforced
as per the Rules and Regulations
in your Chip Shots. The pro shop
will open at 12:00 on Mondays, 8:00
on Tuesdays-Fridays and at 7:00 on
Saturdays & Sundays.
DRIVING RANGE RULES
The practice range will be open as
soon as the ground is firm enough
so the range balls will not plug. As
a rule of thumb, the range will be
open except when the soil is too wet.
General Rule: if carts are not allowed
on the front nine, the range will be
closed.
The range will close two hours
before sunset on Sunday, Tuesday,
and Thursday. The following mornings
are designated as mow days and
the range must be picked clean on
these nights.
CLUB STORAGE is available to all
members. The pro shop staff will
store and clean your clubs. The fee
is $85 (80.19 + 4.81 tax). Pull carts or
electric carts are an additional $25.
Pull / Electric carts alone without
bag storage are $35. Sorry, we do
not store or charge batteries for the
electric carts. The fee may be paid
in the pro shop or billed through your
Country Club account.
LOCKERS are available in both the
men’s and ladies’ room. Annual fee
is $75.

bounds but the fence affects your swing. Are you entitled to relief?
