- A very big thank you to B. Testu &
S. Mills for doing a fantastic job with the grounds at the Club. The
lawn / grounds were shamefully neglected and un-kept so they spent 10+
hours mowing, trimming, raking, cleaning up and hauling away the
garbage etc. These two members saw an issue and took the initiative.
The area looks 100% better! Thank you very much and here's hoping that
others will follow your example.

this coming Wednesday night. Make sure to avail of his services (for a
measly $5) and enjoy the Sporting Clays courses of fire.
