s the North Course celebrated 20 years this October, we ushered in a wonderful start to the Fall Season. It was an incredible honor for the Club to serve as host for the prestigious USGA event in September, highly celebrated by the players, officials and our membership. The U.S. Women’s Mid Am Champion Blakesly Brock from Tennessee triumphed in a thrilling final that ended a great week for both Berkeley Hall, and for Blakesly. We look forward to our many exciting member events in November and December, highlighted by the HAIG, the Women’s Invitational and the Club Challenge. And we always look forward to seeing our members that may have been away for the summer months. The Fall/Winter season here at Berkeley Hall is a lot of fun, and although it is a shorter season than the Spring, we look forward to plenty of great golf.
