Silver Lake CC newsletter for October

By Howard B. Owens

Tom Donahue sends along the Silver Lake Country Club newsletter:

Hello Golfers, 

Become a member of the best country club “you can afford” in Western New York.  We are now accepting applications for the 2009 campaign.  PLAY FREE GOLF FOR THE REST OF 2008!!  HOW?  If you are interested in joining Silver Lake C.C. in 2009, you can join now. Anyone that joins now (for 2009) can play free for the remainder of the 2008 golf season.

This past Monday I had the pleasure of “teeing it up” with Dick Bausch, Kevin Ward and Rich Nobles in the Rochester District Golf Association’s 2008 Annual Fall Roundup at Penfield Country Club.  I am proud to announce that we won the event by 10 shots.  It was a great team effort and I really enjoyed the day. 

SAVE THE DATE!!  Our “Final Celebration” for all members which will be Friday, October 10th beginning at 5:00pm – Free Dinner, Cash Bar and Final Celebration.  What a way to end it!!  The party goes until we all tire out (or the bar runs out of drinks, ha).  Please rsvp through email or reply to this or you can call us in the Golf Shop at 585-237-4131.  It will help us to schedule enough staff on that date. 


If you know someone that does not get these emails, please inform them of our celebration.  Right now we have 40 members signed up for the evening and we’d like to see that number get to over a 100.  If you know a member that doesn’t have access to email, please let them know about our party.   Don’t miss a great time!!

We recently mailed out a nice letter from Ernie & I along with a 2009 Membership Application.  If you did not receive the mail-out, it is quite possible we do not have a correct address for you.  You can stop by the Golf Shop to attain a copy or call us with your correct mailing address and we will forward one to you.  You should be able to download the application for our website by Monday.

Still open to the public and the best place “you can play”.  We have new lower fall rates.  Call the Golf Shop at 585-237-4131 for more details.

Tuesday Night should be a nice evening and the weather forecast is great.  The Fall Mixed League will begin at 4:45pm.  Just show up if you are interested. 

Many of you are asking “how long is the course going to remain open?”  The answer is simple:  as long as golfers are coming out, we will remain open.  As long as carts are not doing damage to the course, we will allow carts out.  Call your friends. 

All golf bags must be removed from storage by October 30th.

All golf shop credit must be used up by October 30th.   All accounts will be cleared on November 1st.

We are beginning the process of creating a new golf scorecard for the club.  If you (or anyone you know) is interested in advertising on our new cards, please let me know.  Details of costs, size, colors, position, etc. are forthcoming. 

Silver Lake Country Club is a great place to hold your next golf tournament, fundraiser, wedding reception, corporate outing, private party, luncheon or dinner.  We are already booking 2009 events so don’t wait!!  Call 585-237-6308 for more details.

The new handicaps are posted on both boards.  Your next handicap revision will be on October 8th. 

If you know a fellow member that does not have access to a computer but would like a hard copy of this weekly email, please let them know they can pick one up in the Golf Shop.  If they have a computer but no email, I will be happy to set them up with an email address and also show them how to use it. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.  See you on the links.

Thank you.
