Gardiner’s Bay Country Club champions
The future is bright at Gardiner’s Bay Country Club.
Last Sunday evening was an awards presentation to remember. Over 180 kids, parents and grandparents attended a sumptuous dinner created by Chef Sebastian Bliss and a fun prize presentation by yours truly.
A big thank you to all the parents who entrust their children to us for the summer and a massive shout-out to all our junior golfers who have made Gardiner’s Bay Country Club No. 1 in the world in the Operation 36 Worldwide league standings. There are over 450 facilities throughout the U.S.A., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Quite an achievement kids, well played!
A personal big thank you to my golf staff, especially assistant professionals Valerie LaPapa, Dan Lockhart and Sammy Sicard who are an integral and vital part of the success and advancement of your juniors and our golf program. Also, special thanks to our General Manager Charlie Marcus, and heads of department, Sebastian Bliss, Tim Gorman and Peter Olsavsky for their tireless work all season long.
Looking forward to seeing everyone over the Labor Day festivities.
Remember, hit it straight, far, and not too often!
