Monday League

A message from Sandy Young - Games Captain:

"Happy New Year!

 

Looking forward to golf in 2022.

 

I assume some or all of you have seen the poster sent out by Craig regarding the NEW Monday women's league. The full 2-page poster is below.

 

I just wanted to send a note to confirm this does NOT replace our Tuesday women’s league.

 

The club is looking to grow the game and have added a Monday women’s fun/recreational league, hoping to attract new players.

 

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you may know that might be interested.

 

If you, as a member, would like to participate, the cost will be the $50.00 prize fee.

 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions."

Jordan's Sock Drive

A note from Marlene Randall, grandmother of Jordan: 

"I want to thank you Sandi so very much for the initiative taken on your part to generate more socks to help individuals. 


My granddaughter Jordan has now completed  her 7th annual new sock drive. The total number of pairs of socks this year is 8,000.  Of that total 626 were collected and distributed in our area. Sandi and all her golf and/or hockey friends donated 120 pairs of the 626 total. Cornerstone took 51 pairs of women's socks and 26 pairs of a mix for tots, girls and boys.  77 pairs of men's socks went to Transition House and The Salvation Army took the remaining ones. All three locations expressed how thankful they were to receive these. The Salvation Army told me that this is one of the first items they run out of.

On behalf of my 12 year old granddaughter Jordan and myself  I wish to sincerely thank you for your generosity.  It is people like you that make a difference this crazy world."


We golfers contributed over 105 pairs to that 126 total - well done and thank you for your generosity!
