Pro Talk:
Our first men’s night was March 30th with the Pitt Pot carry-over starting at $532.
In order to win the $100 cash draw on Wednesdays or to win a prize at the Men’s Windup in
September you must have joined the Men’s Club. You can call the pro shop or office to sign
up and pay the $50 fee.
Men’s Opening Day is Saturday April 23rd and is an 8:30am shotgun. This is a five man team
scramble event which features a chance to receive pro shop merchandise at no cost by simply hitting the 16th green with your tee shot. You may risk between $50-$300.
Ex: If you risk $100 and hit the green you will have a pro shop credit of $100 at no cost to
you. If you miss the green you will be charged $100 + taxes but you will still have the same
pro shop credit. This is a great opportunity to get that new Clicgear or driver at half price or
even FREE! Sign up for this year’s event in the pro shop ASAP as it is a very popular tournament.
2016 Demo equipment inventory has arrived and is available to take on the golf course or
to the driving range any time. New products from Callaway (XR16, Big Bertha Alpha 816),
TaylorMade (M1 and M2) are available for demo. Our Demo Day is scheduled for Wednesday
April 20th suppliers from Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra and Ping will be on hand to help fit
you with the latest in golf equipment.
We will be fully stocked with Adidas, FootJoy, Under Armour and Levelwear apparel as well
as Clic Gear carts and bags. Please remember that all of our products are competitively
priced and we offer attractive payment programs to suit your budgeting needs.
Blow off the dust and shake off the rust with a spring tune up or setup a series of golf
lessons with our CPGA professional staff. The driving range grass tee is now open so it’s a
perfect time to get a fresh start on the new season. For junior clinics and adult lesson
information click here. Please give us a call or stop in at the pro shop if you have any
questions or for more information.
Hope to see you at the golf club soon.
Your pro shop staff,
Neil, Craig, Wes, Phil, Larry
