NEW CLUBHOUSE TRANSITION ITEMS FOR GOLF OPERATIONS

Bag Storage
The bag storage operation will be relocated to the new clubhouse beginning July 25th. Since we will be using the existing bag racks in the new building, we ask that members pick up their clubs by on or before July 25th. Please keep them, bring them back and forth to play and practice, and return them to bag storage in the new clubhouse on or after August 6th.

Lockers
Members who currently have a locker will automatically be assigned a new locker. We will host an informal "open house" on Wednesday, July 29th at 5:30 pm in the new locker room, where specific locker preferences may be presented. Please empty locker contents by August 4th and new lockers should be assigned and available by then.

Members requesting a locker in the new clubhouse should notify Brian Thelan as soon as possible to secure their spot. The locker fees are $150 per year and full golf members will receive a 50% discount. Please call Brian at 768-7539, email to bthelan@discoverseabrook.com, or just let him know next time you're in the golf shop.

We sincerely look forward to a great event and hope that you and your guest can join us. Please feel free to contact Head Golf Professional, Brian Thelan if you have any questions.

THE BLITZ
Join us Wednesday afternoons at 3 pm for a quick and casual 9 holes of golf. You may partner with the General Manager, the Head Golf Professional, the Director of Golf Course Maintenance or any number of other members of the club staff.

Each player contributes $12 to the prize pool, plus carts, and we play a Captain's Choice Scramble. Please sign up by noon the day of play.

ADULT CLINICS
If you have ever said, "I hate three putting." or "I hope I can get this ball out of the bunker.", then the short game clinic is for you. Every Tuesday, from 9:30 - 10:30, the professional staff gives a short game clinic on pitching, chipping, putting, and bunker play. One week, we focus on chipping and putting. The next week, we focus on pitching and bunker. So, if you are beginner or just need a tune-up on the short game, call the Pro Shop, 768-2529, to sign up. The cost is $15.

On Thursday's, from 9:30- 10:30, the professional staff give a 1 hour clinic devoted to the full swing. This is a great way for you and your guests to get quality instruction prior to playing or just to hone your skills. Whatever your playing level, the full swing clinic can aid your swing development. The cost is $15.00

JUNIOR CLINICS
Every Wednesday and Friday at noon, the professional staff gives the juniors an opportunity to learn a bit about the golf swing and the game of golf. If you have clubs, bring them, if not we have clubs to fit all juniors. It's an hour of fun at the golf course! To insure availability, please call the Pro Shop to sign up, 768-2529. The cost is $10.00
