Mother Nature dealt us a blow this weekend as our GFL Scramble had to be canceled because of the threat of thunderstorms. If we can get some good weather on the weekends, we may reschedule so keep an eye on your email.
Golf is a relaxing and sometimes frustrating game, but it does have its exciting milestones. This week a new member and new golfer from our GFL (Golf For Life) program hit one. Maeva Buckman has been playing faithfully almost every day this summer. She comes out early, walks her nine holes and heads back home.
This week Buckman came into the clubhouse after her round and Ray could tell something was up. She proudly announced that she got her first par that day. There is pure gold in a moment like this. Congratulations to her. Just the first of many milestones to conquer. She will be back!
Also congratulations to the Houlton High School golf team taking second place in the Maine State Class C Championships this weekend at Natanis Golf course in Vassalboro. Good job!
