It's time to turn the page on the calendar and begin the month normally associated with taxes. I like to think of April as the official start of not only baseball season but the golf season. I can't remember a winter where so many events were canceled due to weather. I had to make a point of asking for ice scrapers from the rental car companies the past few months and actually using them regularly. So lets hope mother nature cooperates with us and we can get some rounds on the books and stop looking over our shoulders for the next polar vortex.
I had the opportunity to visit Pinehurst last week for the first time. I was amazed at the amount of golf history there and how the entire community is centered around the game of golf. They are preparing for back to back Open Championships in June and everything seems to be in good order for the events. If you've never been to the sand hills of North Carolina it's worth making plans for a visit in the future. True southern hospitality!
As far as current projects go we are still looking for facilities to donate rounds for the first Rounds 4 Research auction in June. It's a great way to earn money for your chapter to fund projects in the future. We are also looking for facilities to host First Green meetings with local school children. Please visit www.thefirstgreen.org to learn more about the program and how you can sign up to host a field trip at your facility.
Now let's get on with some warm weather and play some golf!
