JUNE 2017
VOLUME XXIV EDITION VI
It's finally June and you know what that means? Summer is here! With our average temperatures well into the 80's we wanted to make sure everyone stays safe while having a great time out on the greens. Here are a few tips to remember while you're out playing your rounds.
1. Beat the Heat & Tee off Early 2. Start Hydrating Early - We are talking about water here :) 3. Keep a cool head - Be sure to keep your head covered 4. Wait in the Shade 5. Don't Forget to Eat - Be sure to stop into the 19th Hole Bar & Grill for a bite 6. Cooling Towels & Wraps - Help keep your body cool 7. Watch the Pros - Pros maintain a steady pace and they manage their emotions Nothing makes the heat worse than an on-course temper tantrum. 8. Always have Fun!!

Congratulations go out to the Kerrigan Family for winning the First Family Scramble held on Sunday, May 21st. David, Becky, Charlie and Timmy teamed up to shoot 34½ in the 9hole scramble format. They won the match of cards versus the Kutchen Family who came in Second Place. Close behind, in Third Place was the Hall family. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who participated. Now that June has arrived, we have a new event coming up. The 2-person Blind Draw shoot-out! Sunday June 4th is the actual date for the golf. Saturday night at 6pm, we’ll have the draw party. This is where we pull an A player out of a hat and a B player out of a hat and pair them together for the Sunday, Better Ball of Partner event. There will a fee of $25 that goes towards the prize fund and the draw party. Saturday, June 17th will be the Green Hill US Open. Playing with your normal group, you can pull the name out of a hat of the Tour players that made the cut in the US Open. We’ll take your Saturday score and combine it with his Saturday and Sunday score for the team score. It’s a fun event that adds excitement to your US Open viewing experience.
Our second Couples Twilight of the season will be held on Sunday, June 25th. It will be a 3:30pm shotgun start. UMES Professional Golf Management Program Interns, Harry Early and Matt Stitcher will be doing Junior Clinics this season. You may contact them through the Pro Shop for dates and times. We have the latest demo clubs and clubs in stock from Mizuno and Callaway. Feel free to try out their latest, greatest clubs. Hope to see you soon, Rob McDonald

June brings lots of excitement for the Green Hill Lady Golfers! Our team is the projected winner of our division for gross team scores. (Elks has a rain date, but we are way ahead in points). Our team heads into the semi- finals on June 13th at Heritage Shores. What is so exciting about this year’s team is that we actually have competition to see who is going to make it for the final matches. Not too many years ago, Green Hill was having a difficult time even fielding a team, now, take a look. This is a truly wonderful situation! Way to go Green Hill Lady Golfers!!!! June also brings the Pepsi tournament, a great tournament that is one of the first in Maryland for Lady Golfers. This is the 59th year of the tournament and we are excited to be able to increase the prize purse with generous donations from both Pete Richardson and Jim Purdue in memory of their mothers, Janie Richardson and Madeline Perdue, avid golfers at Green Hill. We are looking forward to a great tournament with many thanks to Dick and Brenda Young who have worked so hard to garner tee sign sponsorships (who can say no to Dick?) On June 23rd Green Hill will be filled with lady golfers from across the shore who are greatly excited to play for an increased purse.
A big thank you is in order to our staff who prepares the carts, puts balls out on the range and is always so friendly, Hugs to you! Looking forward to a wonderful season of golf with hopefully “not too many swings” Margaret
Members of Green Hill Ladies Golf recently planted two bushes at the front entrance of the Clubhouse in memory of Ann Phillips, a beloved none-hole golf member, who passed away in 2016. Ann, and her late husband, H. Lay Phillips were generous life members of Green Hill and lived “next door” on their beloved Catchpenny Farm. Ann enjoyed her nine-hole golf group and regularly entertained them in her lovely home at Christmas time. She was a warm and friendly member who will long be missed. JUNE 2017
