Cookies of the Month
MARCH COOKIE OF THE MONTH: HEATH BAR COOKIE
APRIL COOKIE OF THE MONTH
Growing up my great grandmother would always hand out Heath Bars for the holidays. That and a five dollar bill for every birthday, Christmas and even Easter card she would hand out. She has been gone for a few years now, but anytime I have a Heath Bar I think of her. This cookie is a delicious balance of cookie dough and crunch. Enjoy!

Ron Gordils is the Executive Chef at Old North State Club. Ingredients 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter ¾ cup Brown Sugar ¾ cup Granulated Sugar 2 Eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla 1½ cups Chopped Heath Bar pieces (8, 1.4 ounce bars) ½ cup Chopped Walnuts Directions Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine Heath Bar pieces and chopped walnuts. Set aside.

Make and chill dough: Add the flour mixture a third at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the Heath bar walnut mixture.

On cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or Silpat, spoon out the cookie dough in small 1-inch diameter balls (size of a large marble). Leave ample space because they do spread. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Within, we’ll take a look back at JT Poston’s 2019 win and go behind the scenes with the Agronomy team. To join this upcoming publication, advertisers are invited to take part for a little as $150! For the best ad placement options and business directory listings, we encourage you to contact Lauren Thedieck this month at lthedieck@mcconnellgolf.com.

2020 REX HOSPITAL OPEN
VISIT KNOXVILLE OPEN Holston Hills Country Club Selected as Future Host of Korn Ferry Tour’s Visit Knoxville Open SAVE THE DATE: May 11-17, 2020 The Korn Ferry Tour’s newly named Visit Knoxville Open will move to historic Holston Hills Country Club this May. Formerly the Web.com Tour, the organization has signed a five-year agreement with McConnell Golf. The Visit Knoxville Open is one of four original tournaments from the Tour’s inaugural 1990 season. With 50 available PGA TOUR cards, the Korn Ferry Tour is the path to the Pros. Over the last 30 years, the event has produced a number of noteworthy champions, including future PGA TOUR winners Jeff Maggert (1990), J.J. Henry (2000), Vaughn Taylor (2003), Chez Reavie (2007), Chris Kirk (2010) and Patton Kizzire (2015), who used his victory to garner Player of the Year honors that season. Other notables to compete include two -time Masters champion Bubba Watson, 13-time PGA TOUR winner David Toms, U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover and PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker. For more information please visit https://visitknoxopen.com/.
On May 28 – 31, the 33rd REX Hospital Open will take place at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. In 2019, Sebastian Cappelen took home the REX Open trophy, shooting a course record 21under par to win by three shots! Last year’s tournament hosted more than 156 professional golfers from around the world and helped raise money for the new UNC REX Cancer Center. Have you ever wanted to take part in a professional golf tournament? Well, now’s your chance! The REX Hospital Open is seeking volunteers to assist in executing the area’s premier professional charity golf tournament, part of the Korn Ferry Tour.

A big thank you to Mrs. Ruth Farb who is in charge of making sure all donations make it to The First Tee! Just as a reminder we have a donation bin located in the hall just in front of the restrooms. Any old golf clubs, bags, pushcarts, shoes, or anything else golf related would be greatly appreciated. Again thank you to all who have pitched in!
