GOLF NEWS



Calling All Casual Golfers at Seabrook

Do you enjoy playing golf just for the sake of the game, good fellowship, exercise, fresh air with no expectation about score? Is 9 holes enough? Don't really know anyone else like this to play with? We've got a game for you - ladies and gentlemen.



The Casual Golf Group at Seabrook Island was launched two weeks ago and is gaining nice support with 3 to 4 groups weekly enjoying 9 holes on Ocean Winds followed by cocktails in Bohicket's. We will continue to play 9 holes each and every Friday afternoon at 3 pm. The golf shop will arrange pairings and you may also request to play with someone.



To enhance the post golf experience, Bohicket's has begun a Friday Happy Hour from 5 - 6:30 where all cocktails, beer and wine will be ½ price. Does it get any better? Remember - casual, no pressure or expectation - just play golf.



Please call or email the golf shop to get your name on the list. For those of you who don't know, we can be reached at 768-2529 or golf@discoverseabrook.com.



What a great way to play golf - play the same holes over two days and take the best score on each hole! Pick a partner and enjoy playing Ocean Winds two days in a row in this fun event. A luncheon will be held following Thursday's second round.



MGA Member-Member Friday & Saturday November 12, 13

The men's version of the fall member-member involves 4 different 9 hole formats over two days. We'll play Modified Chapman and Captain's Choice Scramble formats on Ocean Winds Friday and Four-Ball Stroke Play and Two-Ball Shamble formats on Crooked Oaks Saturday. An awards luncheon follows play, so choose a good partner and join the fun.



Holiday Sale in the Golf Shop Tuesday, November 16th

It is hard to believe it is time for our annual Holiday Sale coming up Tuesday, November 16th from 5-7 pm. As always, we will offer adult beverages and light hors d'oeuvres to add to the festivities. This is a great way to start your holiday shopping and have a fun evening with your friends and neighbors. If you have never been to this sale, we offer additional discounts on almost everything in the shop. You choose the discount from a random drawing when you check out. The discounts are up to 50%. Please understand we cannot hold items in advance if you are unable to attend. (Remember, this event coincides with Member's night in the Island House, so make your reservations early.



The Ben Schenck Cup and the MGA join forces Saturday, November 20th

Last year, the "Dysfunctionals", one of Ben's regular golf groups, decided to hold a tournament for two purposes. First on the agenda was to honor Ben; who was then in the finals stages of multi year superbly fought battle with cancer. The second purpose was to raise money for The Hospice Foundation of Charleston.



So to show our support of this great cause and to honor Ben, the usual MGA Saturday play on November 20th will be played in conjunction with the 2nd annual Ben Schenck Cup. There is no entry fee for this tournament. Every player though is asked to make a contribution either by a check or a charge to your club account at the player's discretion.

The winner's name will be inscribed on the cup which holds a place of honor in the Gentlemen's lounge. However, all will take recompense in supporting this cause. Please call the Pro Shop to enter or reply to this email



If you can't play in the tournament and would still like to contribute, you too can either drop off a check or reply to this email. Thank you for your consideration in playing in the 2nd annual Ben Schenck Tournament.



Adult Clinics

Every Tuesday from 9:30 - 10:30 the professional staff conducts 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 Golf Shop, 768-2529, to sign up. The cost is $15.



On Thursdays from 9:30- 10:30 and Saturdays from 12 - 1, the professional staff conducts 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
