John Gallagher returns as our scheduler for November November November 3rd – The Saints
Today’s return to our winter residency at The The Saints
Saints
in in in in in in Port Saint Saint Lucie also marked the the weakening of
a a a a a a a a a truly
close long relationship between the the the city’s only public golf
course and and the the the the CMGL For over 20 years in recognition
of
of
the the the sheer size and and reliability of
of
our our patronage the the the CMGL has enjoyed perks such as as special green fee rates
and and complimentary rounds for our our collectors and and others
who support our our operations Not anymore All such benefits have been eliminated by Parks and Recreation
for the the the Cascades group this season Perhaps it’s it’s a a a a a a a a a a a sign of
the the the the economic times in in in the the the the golf
industry or or or maybe it’s it’s just
the the the the the city needing to squeeze more revenue from a a a a a a a premier
municipal amenity Whatever the the the reason the the the change won’t
make make us us us stop playing playing at at The Saints…it will just
make make playing playing there a a a a a a a a a a a little less special for for us us The match today was every man
for for himself by flight and it it appeared that a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a lot of
our members needed to to re-familiarize
themselves with the the the the Saints
track With quotas generally
lower as as they usually are at the the the the the conclusion of
of
our our our summer
tour of
of
tough courses there were still considerably more minuses than plusses in in the the the the scorecard box However as always there were were a a a a a a a a a couple of
of
