October 9, 2008 River Falls Plantation
After a day of heavy rain and the prospect of more showers and a very wet golf course with cart path only conditions, I cancelled our tournament. I try to avoid cancellations if at all possible, but I believe this was the right call. We only had 72 golfers entered and I received a dozen cancellations by late Wednesday afternoon. All checks were destroyed. Because there was a hole in one fee added to this entry fee, that extra dollar will be carried over to Bonnie Brae in November. The total cost will be $25.

October Trip
We will travel south on I-85 to the Commerce, GA area on October 28th and October 29th to play two outstanding courses. Hammer’s Glenn in Homer, GA (can be viewed at the following web address: http://www.hammersglen.com/layout9.asp?id=498&page=25431)
Hammer’s Glenn is an 18 hole Championship course designed by Mark McCumber.
Double Oaks Golf Club http://www.golflink.com/golf-courses/course.asp?course=1523456)is another Championship course (I have played it) which has a variety of great holes. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Commerce just minutes from Double Oaks. The two rounds of golf will be $75 and includes cart and prizes. The hotel cost is $42 including tax for double occupancy and includes a buffet breakfast. Dinner will be on your own. Total cost is $117 plus your dinner. If you are playing both days, send a check for $75 made out to FSGA by October 15th. The cost for Tuesday only is $39 and the cost for Wednesday only is $36. The deadline is October 15th for the entry fee and to make hotel reservations. Deadline for entry and hotel reservations will be October 15th. Hotel reservations can be made by calling 706-336-8666. Tell them you are with the FSGA. There is a large outlet mall in Commerce and some members might want to bring their wives. While you are running up your score on the golf course, your spouse can run up your credit card bill. Members who live in Anderson County might consider driving down for both days or playing one day as Commerce is only an hour south of exit 40 (Rt. 153) on I-85 and anyone living in Anderson County can get there in less than an hour. Please support our trips. Invite a guest or bring your own foursome.
