2017 GOLF SCHEDULE
OPENING LETTER The 2017 golf season is finally here at The Ledges and we have created an outstanding schedule of tournaments, couples events, junior golf activities and more. Last year we had record participation for events and rounds played. We are looking forward to surpassing those numbers and having a bigger and better season this year. In this book you will find the 2017 schedule of events and a description of each event. We are excited to kick off the season with an all new season long match play called King of the Mountain. Also, this year we'll have new formats for our Nine, Wine and Dine couples golf. These formats will allow new and experienced golfers to have a fun social golf experience. Last year was the first year of our Alcatraz Cup which went really well and we are excited to continue the competition this year with a few minor adjustments to improve the competition for all golfers. We hope that you will participate again with your friends and fellow members. We look forward to seeing everyone at the club in 2017 and hope that you have a great season with plenty of birdies. Thank you for your continued support, Rob, Jordan and Adam
