GRANDE DUNES MEMBERS CLUB KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY
There was plenty of fast fun on Saturday, May 1, as Grande Dunes members gathered for a Kentucky Derby-themed party. The culinary team prepared prime rib, roasted chicken and grouper with a variety of delicious sides and desserts for everyone to enjoy. Nearly 88 people were in attendance for the festivities, many of whom dressed up and wore fun hats for the occasion. The race was streamed on the big screen in the ballroom and members cheered Medina Spirit on to victory.
THE CARDINAL BY PETE DYE PAR 3 CONTEST
Although Augusta National did not host its Par 3 Contest this year due to social distancing protocols, the team at The Cardinal by Pete Dye decided the show must go on and hosted their own version of the event. Nearly 44 participants gathered on Wednesday, April 7, to compete in a 9-hole competition, with winners crowned in gross and net divisions. After golf, the group enjoyed appetizers, cocktails and fellowship in a socially distanced manner on the veranda.
MUSGROVE MILL GOLF CLUB SCGA TRESCOTT CHAMPIONSHIP & PRO-AM
In late April, a trio of Musgrove Mill members won the 37th SCGA Trescott Championship & Pro-Am at Thornblade Club in Greer, South Carolina. The Trescott Championship — one of 21 Major Championships organized by the South Carolina Golf Association — is a unique event where three amateur members from a club combine their aggregate scores from each hole to compete for the Trescott Cup. Yancey Johnson, Walter Todd Sr., Walt Todd Jr. and Musgrove Mill’s Head Golf Pro, Greg Krasinski, represented the club. The Pro-Am was conducted with the three amateurs and their club professional using the best two gross balls per hole. Musgrove Mill’s foursome had a total score of 217.
Hear ye, hear ye! Let it be known that all knights were summoned to attend a special feast this spring at Country Club of Asheville. Young squires escorted the fairest maidens in their lives — their mothers — to the event. After feasting, attendees stepped outside to cast their eyes upon a comedic act featuring fire juggling and unicycle tricks, along with the typical antics of a jester.
HOLSTON HILLS COUNTRY CLUB MOM PROM
Holston Hills Country Club hosted its first Mom Prom — a mother-son dance — in April. Last year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic, so everyone was extra excited to participate in 2021. Mothers and sons of all ages were encouraged to attend the prom, which included mystery puzzles for the boys to solve throughout the night along with dinner, music, dancing, ice cream and cookies, and photo ops with a chandelier backdrop.
