CLUB UPDATE A NOTE FROM YOUR TRIAD REGIONAL DIRECTOR
2021 WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATES
SIGNATURE SERIES Read all about this Napa Valley Red Blend bottled exclusively for McConnell Golf on page 16 of this publication. When I tasted our latest private label blend, I was blown away! If you're a wine lover like me, this is a must-try! WELCOME TO THE CLUB There are many new faces around the club with bios and photos for our newest members on the membership pages. Please take time to introduce yourself to someone new and welcome them to Sedgefield. It is a great opportunity to meet new friends or even make a new business contact. Thank you for all the referrals. You are indeed keeping our Triad Membership Director, Chad Flowers busy! On behalf of the staff, we are excited for the remainder of the summer and look forward to seeing you at the club. Thank you for your support. Beverly Marler
