It was a gorgeous day at Palencia Golf Course for our 52nd Mixed Couples Tournament. Everyone was smiling…even after the event!!!! This is a challenging format with alternate shots….but it is a lot of fun and great competition! Thanks to the Palencia team for all their efforts: Jillian Smothers, Chef Kevin, Matt, Kim Drew, Max, Joe Williams, the grounds crew, bag boys, Lizzie, Bobbie and Stephanie. What a great team and fabulous event! Special thanks to Linda Hoffman, for coordinating all the arrangements, and Lisa Proctor for helping with signing everyone in.

With only two events left, our season is winding down fast. Registration is open for the following events and we hope you will join us:
May 1 – WGV – Slammer and Squire, 1BB Net front, 2BB Net back.
May 6 – MONDAY, is Closing Day at Sawgrass Country Club. Golf, lunch, awards, a general meeting and the election of new officers will take place this day. The format is 3-2-1: 3 net balls on 3’s, 2 net balls on 4’s, 1 net ball on 5’s.
This event has a 72 hour cancellation policy. That means if you need to cancel you must to do so by 9:00 am on Friday May 3 to avoid payment.
Sawgrass is not currently set up to accept credit cards and they have no way to charge alcoholic beverages to individuals. The rest of the club is closed on Monday, so there is no bar open, even for a member charge. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I hope you can make these last two events of the season!!
Have a great week!
