Just a few things to point out about the 2015 calendar:

There are 5 open dates at this time that Mark will not fill until we get the Wanaki & Hon-E-Kor Challenge matches set. Steve & Dan, will work with their counterparts at these other clubs to make this a priority.

Secondly, the last weekend in September was set up to facilitate guys staying overnight in either Fond du Lac or Oshkosh, as both the courses we are playing that weekend are within a 30-45 minute drive.

Mark did reach out to the River Club, and they responded that they only did events with groups like ours on Mondays.

League Match Play will be opt-in, rather than putting everyone in.

Spring kick-off meeting is Monday, March 9th, at 6:30pm at Currie Park.

Golf Galaxy Pro Pack

This can be used by up to 4 players dividing up the pack. Great for the winter to ingrain fundamentals.
