NEW EVENTS ADDED TO TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
We have beefed up our late summer and early fall schedule to encourage our members and customers to keep playing.  We have added a Junior Club Championship on Saturday, August 12.  There is no charge for the juniors and the event is eighteen holes.  Sign up sheets are at the Pro Shop.  The next day on Sunday, August 13, we will have a members only couple Club Championship.  The event begins at 1:00 in the afternoon and the event will be Best Ball Net.  Make up you own foursome and get a tee time.  Entry is $10.00 per couple and all monies go into prizes.  On Saturday September 9 we will be having a four-man scramble at Milham Park.  Cost is $10.00 per member or $25.00 for non-members which include green fees.  The last event which is new is our “Play them all Weekend” scheduled for September 23 & 24.  This is a 54 hole event where you play the 27 holes at Eastern on Saturday and on Sunday play nine at Red Arrow and the Milham eighteen.  Sign up at either golf shop and make your own foursome and schedule your own tee time.  Cost is $10.00 per person and all monies will be returned in prizes. 

The August and September schedule looks like this:

HOLE IN ONE STORY
If any of you have played Milham Park early in the morning, you have probably noticed the threesome we call the "Professors".  Karl Hokenmaier, Steve Lipkin and Brian Pavey play most mornings and they have been "knocking the flags down".  Each player has made a hole-in-one this year and Karl has made two.  That's four hole-in-ones, this year, in the same threesome.  Hello Ripleys.
