CLUB COMMUNITY

Club Happenings TREYBURN COUNTRY CLUB – ANNUAL SLEIGH RIDE Treyburn families enjoyed a serene sleigh ride pulled by beautiful Percheron horses, led by Santa Claus! Professional photographs were taken of families and children meeting Santa; the club served hot cocoa, cider and other treats around the fire pit. This annual event provides fun for all as it brings the spirit of the holidays to life.

BROOK VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB SUSAN G. KOMEN FUNDRAISER Brook Valley raised over $1,000 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Fundraising efforts included a putting contest between Golf Pro Riley Kinlaw and Food & Beverage Manager Sophia Karanikas. Members purchased 50/50 raffle tickets to bet on the golfer they thought would win and the winner’s name was drawn from a fishbowl. Kinlaw had handicaps thrown at him throughout the 18 holes: he wore a blindfold while putting, and putted left-handed and backwards. The golf guys set up a miniature golf course on the main warm-up putting green and members came to watch.

MUSGROVE MILL GOLF CLUB GOLF EVENTS 2020 was a challenging year, to say the least. However, participation in events at Musgrove Mill was fantastic, with golf providing an escape from the reality of the daily grind. A match play event hosted 64 players over three days of competition. The 2020 Overall Championship Match was played between Nathan Franks (a rising freshman at the University of South Carolina) and Harry Reynolds (a sophomore at Indiana University). Both players shot under par for the round and the match went into a playoff. The winner of the 2020 championship was Nathan Franks – he won the 21st Hole!
