MAKING A DIFFERENCE Help Stamp-Out Hunger in Greenwood

Everyday life at Grand Harbor Golf & Yacht Club is about

more than playing a round of golf, sharing a bottle of wine

with friends or spending a day on the boat.

P lease join us for our Fifth Annual EMPTY BOWLS fundraiser and dinner on Thursday,

October 10th at the Greenwood Soup Kitchen.

Tickets are priced at $20 for adults and $15 for children, with three seatings offered at 5:30, 6:30 and

7:30 pm. A limited number of take-out tickets are also available. Tickets will be available starting

September 3 and should be purchased in advance— we have sold out the past four years!

Your ticket includes a beautiful, hand made, pottery bowl (which you will personally select and take

home) and it will be filled with delicious soup prepared by local restaurants and accompanied by

gourmet bread, home-made desserts and a cold beverage. Dinner music will be provided by Ken

Kittle.

For more information, or to purchase tickets, please call Norm Fawcett at 227-3421 or email

RULES OF ETIQUETTE

Golf etiquette covers both courtesy and priority on the course as well as care of

the course. Some points of etiquette are as follows;

1. Don't move, talk or stand close to player making a stroke

2. Don't play until the group in front is out of the way

3. Always play without delay. Leave the putting green as soon as all players in

your group have holed out. Record scores at the next tee

4. Invite faster groups to play through 5. Replace or fill divots. Smooth footprints in bunkers and place rakes correctly.

Repair ball marks on the green.

Congratulations to Jayne Dietal who broke 90 for the first

time and to Jill Criscuoli who broke 100 for the first time.
