Member/Member, Interclub & More
Fellow Golfers,
The Member / Member Tournament is this Saturday. Go to the pro shop and sign up immediately (if you have not already done so)! We still have many spots available for twosomes and singles. The weather forecast is beautiful for Saturday.
In this letter I will be discussing the following:
- Member / Member Tournament This Saturday
- Interclub Sign Up
- Hole #11 New Local Rule
- Stamford Amateur Golf Tournament Sign Up
- Met / Net Team Success
- Club Championship Updates
- Open Board of Governors Positions Available
Are you not planning on participating in our Member / Member Tournament? Besides not being in town or the bad economy, we would love to hear some feedback on what would entice you to sign up in the future.

The Interclub sign ups have begun! This is an exciting event where a Sterling Farms team competes against a Hubbard Heights team to crown a champion of Stamford for the year. You have two weekends to choose from for your qualifier. The cost is $20 to sign up and, if you make the team, an additional $20 that covers 36 holes, cart and a team golf shirt. There is more information available on our website.

The Board of Governors has approved a new local rule for Hole #11 in order to speed up the pace of play and eliminate confusion. The rule is as follows:
“Left side is a LATERAL HAZARD as defined by red stakes and lines. Drop is permitted two club-lengths to the right side of the cart path. Ditch in front of green is a WATER HAZARD as defined by yellow stakes and lines”.

The Stamford Amateur Golf Tournament sign ups have begun. Please visit the Sterling Farms Pro Shop for the application and to pay the $85 (cash or check) entrance fee. This is not a Sterling Farms Men’s Club event but we fully support our members competing in this tournament.
Last month John McGroarty and Brian Farrell won our local qualifier to compete in the Sectional Met / Net Tournament. The tournament date was rescheduled due to rain. Brian Farrell had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Kevin Behan. The dynamic duo of McGroarty and Behan placed 5th in the Sectional at the Country Club of Connecticut with a team net score of 67! They now move on to the final round at Hempstead Golf & Country Club on July 8th. Please congratulate John and Kevin (and Brian) the next time you see them and don’t forget to wish them luck in the finals.
