April 2025

President’s note:



As the winter League play comes to an end, I would like to throw some shade on the people behind the scenes making things happen.

Here is a special shout out to:


Mary Kaye Rueth who served as Tee Captain at Stoneybrook,

Kerstin Koenig at Quail Village

Sandy Bologna at Hibiscus

Peggy Meyerowitz who organized Quail Run.


Without volunteers like this, we would not be able to host league play, so we all should give them a pat on the back for the extra work they do.


I am hopeful that we will have volunteers to help coordinate play over the summer. Watch here for all opportunities to play.


If you seem to be blocked from registering for any of our events, check your membership status. Membership is required for event registration and renewals were due January 1 st .
