head Golf Professional Wow! Can you believe it? It’s May already with great weather, and your DBYCC calendar is full as we head toward the end of another tournament season at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club. I’m thrilled to report record rounds and participation in all the golf events throughout the 2020-21 season. Our active spring season was showcased by our recent men’s and women’s member- member tournaments, club championships, couples events and an energetic WGA membership. The golf course is gorgeous; with the additional landscaping in some of our retention areas and some of our off course areas the course is second to none in natural beauty and extremely challenging to play. Our Paspalum grass fairways are as plush as ever and the greens are rolling true and fast. The 2020-21 Golf Calendar is shaping up to be a busy one that will be including more social, couples and youth activities, so please check out the calendar and make sure you view the details of the golf events on the DBYCC website. Sign up early to secure your place in all our activities, as we anticipate many events will fill up fast!

I personally would like to thank the membership for its participation in our events and golf programs during this unpresented, and sometimes challenging, 2020-21 golf season. On behalf of the entire golf staff here at Deering Bay I sincerely wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe summer!
