The golf season is off to a great start with the Member-Member Golf Tournamen Golf Event, Parent-Child Tournament, Spring Operation 36 Junior and Ladies P Tour's UNC Health Championship completed and many more tournaments and remainder of the year. Billy Cole and his team have done an excellent job with t during a difficult Bermuda grass-growing spring The golf staff has received num the course’s condition from the Korn Ferry players, staff, our members and their couple of months.
The first UNC Health Championship hosted at Raleigh Country Club was a trem support of our membership throughout the week was outstanding and well-rec players, tournament officials, the UNC Health team and the Raleigh Country Clu have been a part of this event and look forward to watching it grow over the upcoming years Our course definitely held its own against the top players on the Korn Ferry Tour. The tournament finished with two players tied with a 72-hole total of 13 under par. Our champion this year was Jorge Fernandez-Valdes, who won on the first hole of the playoff to capture his first Korn Ferry Tour victory

COOKIES OF THE MONTH
JULY: KEY LIME COOKIES RON GORDILS, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT SCC
The first pie I ever made was a key lime pie I remember following the recipe on the back of the key lime juice bottle. I think I ate more of the meringue than what actually ended up on the pie Ever since that moment I’ve had a love for that sweet and tart flavor Please enjoy this little sample of that delicious combination

AUGUST: PECAN OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES KENRIC HUNT, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT BVCC
Even though I'm a cookie monster at home, I placed a call to a loved one to find out their favorite cookie I've exhausted what I have in my recipe box of family treats, so make enough for me and your family, and I'll stop by for a sample!
