Dear Members, It’s hard to believe we are winding down another great golf season here at The National. Before we know it, the holiday season will be upon us and we will be hoping for warmer golfing weather like we currently have. I would like to thank Spencer Roberts and all of his Golf Course Maintenance Team on the tremendous job they have put forth this year. Our golf course is in the greatest shape we have ever seen and is truly one of the best in Kansas City. Congratulations to Ryan Springer on winning the Men’s Club Championship for the second time in three years and to Trish Herzog on winning the Ladies Club Championship for the eighth straight year (her 13th total!). Thank you for a great 2017 golf season. Best, Nicholas Ingram Director of Golf 816.505.4251 nicholasi@thenationalgolfclub.com

HONORING ALL WHO SERVED
Saturday, November 11 th at The National Golf Club We would be honored if you joined us on Saturday, November 11th for the 14th Annual Veterans Day Scramble at The National Golf Club. We celebrate this opportunity to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country proudly throughout the years and those who are currently fighting for our freedom all over the world. National and Deuce members and their guests may sign up to participate in this time-honored event. We’ll pair two members or a member/guest pair with two of our invited military guests. The cost for the event is $125+ per person and includes golf, lunch, participant gifts and dinner. The fee will help the Club offset costs and underwrite the cost of our invited military guests … who pay nothing to participate. If you are unable to play in the Scramble but would like to contribute to help underwrite the costs of this event, we would be grateful for your support. Proceeds will be donated to the Platte County Veterans Monument Fund for the building of a monument in Parkville's English Landing Park. Email Nic Ingram at nicholasi@thenationalgolfclub.com with your donation amount and we'll charge it to your member account.

Call Drew Tanner to register today: 816.505.4254 Page 6
Winter Programs These programs start in November and run through March 15th. Program 1 Designed for the player looking to stay fresh over the winter, maintain and improve on their technique. $149 per month includes up to 1.5 hours of instruction Example: three 30-minute lessons or two 45-minute lessons per month Program 2 Designed for the player who is also looking to stay fresh but make some technical changes to start 2018 off right. $225 per month includes up to 3 hours of instruction A great program for juniors looking to play competitive golf in 2018.
Last year’s Off-Season Golf Program was a resounding success! We’ve built an even BETTER program for this year. This collaboration between our Golf and Fitness teams offers a professional training program personally designed for you. The 20-week program seeks to help you correct imbalances, strengthen areas of deficiency and develop power and consistency. We start with a one-hour workshop and TPI Body Screen to identify deficiencies in your swing. We’ll use the results to design a program to correct deficiencies, develop strength and improve motion and ground force production. Throughout the program you’ll have golf lessons to improve skills and preserve the quality of your swing as your body changes from your golf fitness program. The result? You’ll be a more efficient golfer that can hit the ball further and with more consistency. You’ll be a golfer that can maintain that power and consistency for 18 holes. And, you’ll be a golfer that is resistant to injury. Choose the package that fits your schedule best: Ace Package
