Glow balls flying through the night. Golf carts guided by flashlight. Flagsticks ablaze in neon.
Sounds a little spooky, but it’s just a bunch of daring duos who will play golf in the dark during SICC’s Midnight Madness tournament Friday, October 2.
Spaces are limited so sign up quickly at the pro shop or emailing goathill1901@gmail.com. The cost is $20 for members and $40 for non-members. Be sure to indicate whether you will need a motorized cart.
Golfers should check-in at 6 PM with tee off at approximately 6:30 PM. Please bring your own flashlights. Hopefully, the skies will be clear enough to let the full moon shine unhindered.
Special benefit for Alex Cannon
Shelter Island Country Club will host a nine-hole tournament to benefit Island resident Alex Cannon as he valiantly recovers from a tragic fall. Read more in this Gazette post.
Proceeds from the benefit tournament will be directed to Cannon’s Supplemental Trust, which will be used to purchase special medical equipment for Cannon once he can return home to Shelter Island.
Closing membership meeting, elections
Members are encouraged to attend the club’s season-closing membership meeting on Saturday, October 24, at 3 PM at the clubhouse. Trustees will review the club’s financial outlook, summarize the accomplishments of the year, and forecast things to come.
Elections for three trustee positions will also be held. If you’re interested in running for the board or would like to nominate someone, please send an email to goathill1901@gmail.com. Absentee ballots will be available at the pro shop. You can request one by mail by emailing goathill1901@gmail.ccom
Boohoo! The party’s over
SICC’s plans to host a second annual Halloween party had to be nixed due to the pandemic. But we hold out hopes for a healthier situation for ghouls and goblins next year.
Other updates:
- The Flying Goat restaurant will close after Columbus Day weekend
- The pro shop will close November 2 for cart and club rentals
- Play will continue on the honor system as is our tradition (non-members are asked to deposit a $10 greens fee in the blue box or in the slot by the pro shop window)
