CLUBHOUSE REPORT 8/01/07

The month of July offered us an abundance of heat and humidity and the air-conditioners worked over-time to keep us comfortable. Although we received an above average amount of rainfall for the month, we were fortunate that most of the precipitation fell at night. Except for a couple of days without carts, the golf course remained crowded with golfers.
I am also pleased to report the restaurant welcomed many patrons to its facility during the month. We were especially busy during the Alumni/Guest Tournament when we hosted 240 players and families for four days of golf and camaraderie.
….Each year the staff and I look forward to the Williams College Alumni Tournament. We experience a transformation of atmosphere and are challenged by the number of patrons who visit Taconic Golf Club. Except for the cocktail and hors d’oeuvres party on Thursday evening, we serve only from our menu during the weekend (no buffets) and the event strains our limited facility. We call upon our small staff to work many long hours at a very hectic pace and we received many complements on a job well done. Many thanks to Mike Rosier and the kitchen staff as well as Jill Marie and the service staff for their efforts.
Taconic would not receive the many accolades from the participants if it wasn’t for the expert, organized tournament orchestrated by Rick Pohle and his staff and for the pristine course conditions provided by Kent Lemme and his crew. Thanks again to everyone.

July 4- Red-White & Blue Tournament and cook-out
