“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots—but you have to play the ball where it lies.” -Bobby Jones

Seems like it just started, but Thursday Night Men’s League has completed the 2017 season. There was a lot of motion in the standings on the last night, which shows perseverance pays off. The team of C.G. Anderson and Ron Hickman scored 5 points on the final night to secure First Place over Joe Sheehy and Tom Brandon and Ray Hoy and Greg Thompson who tied for Second Place in the A Flight. The team of Juan “Trevino” Zelaya and Cam Jackson made their move into First Place by scoring 5 points on the final night as well. They overtook the team of Phil and Zach Bankert who had a lead for much of the season. Team Bankert shared Second Place with Fred Puente and Jamie Shannon who made their move with 4 points scored on the last night. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who participated to make it a great season.

Dear Mr. McDonald,
I have to give a special “high five” to Brenda Young for setting up the showers for our convenience. She went well beyond our I just wanted to drop you a line and let you expectations, and provided us with a know what a great time my partner and I had at comfortable, clean and pleasant area for us to the 2017 Pepsi Invitational held at Greenhill clean up in. Those post round showers were Country Club. the best!!! We were so welcomed right from our arrival for the practice round on Thursday all the way through the awards ceremony Friday afternoon. I think that was just the right price and length. A very fair value, including the special pricing at the Hampton Inn.
My partner, Diane Wolf and I were paired with Margaret Hinson and Shelley Davis. What a fabulous team! They were attentive and helpful through out our entire round. They gave us a great “girlfriend” round of golf. So easy and fun. These two should be your ambassadors.
I was very impressed with the event and will definitely come back next year. You have an amazing team. In Friendship,
Deborah Barghorn President, South River Ladies Golf Association The Golf Club at South River Edgewater, MD 21037
The breakfast was just right, (loved those donuts!) and the luncheon was spot on. Not to fussy, yet delicious and filling. And who doesn’t love ice cream? It was great! A perfect way to end the Tournament.
