FTSG for the Weekend After Thanksgiving
Last week to register for the World Handicap Seminar

WHS_WorkshopFor a few weeks we have been releasing items to help you and your club prepare for the World Handicap System which goes into effect after the first of the year.  

There is no doubt in our mind that while we have a few months to prepare... if your club is not prepared, it will come in like a Lion as we get into the meat of the season.

To help everyone prepare we will have an Educational Seminar next Saturday, December 7th at Dayton Country Club.  The Session will start at 10am and conclude by 2pm.  Lunch will be included in the $30 registration fee.

To Register 
Playing it Forward !
Give_HereThe Thanksgiving Season brings a time of greater reflection.  It's easy to see that our sport has provided a great deal to be thankful for.  Why not help future generations by easing the financial burden of entry into our game?

Over the last 18 months we have brought the National Youth on Course Program to our area. The programs purpose is to reduce the expense for young golfers by only charging $5 or less to play golf.                    
TOC_GirlIn the Miami Valley, this national program is only in use at three facilities, Heatherwoode, Reid Park and Yankee Trace.  And while it served 571 junior golfers more than 1,500 rounds this past season, our intention is to grow throughout our service area so every potential junior golfer can take advantage. 

In this time of thanks we want you to be a part of this program through our easy online donation feature through our friends at Flipcause or the Dayton Foundation.  No amount it too small or too large and there are additional monthly options as well!

Thank you for your consideration and please give if you can!  

If you have any questions please contact our Executive Director by calling 937-294-6842 or emailing sjurick@mvgolf.org
