On Course Quissett Shield/Nobska Trophy Sign-up Continues If you haven’t yet signed up for the Quissett Shield/Nobska Trophy tournament, there is still time. Last day for sign-up is May 28. After being away from the Club during the winter, members are signing up for the men’s Quissett Shield and the women’s Nobska Trophy tournament, getting ready to renew friendships, resume good-natured rivalries and meet new people. This year the competition will consist of individual match play tournaments, so that members will be competing on a hole-by-hole basis. There is no qualifying round necessary, as participants will be seeded by handicap. The respective tournament brackets will be posted on the Pro Shop bulletin board on May 29. All participants are invited to the Pairings Party at the Clubhouse, May 29 at 5:00 p.m., where players will meet their first opponents. Each pairing is responsible for scheduling their own match. (See below for the schedule for completion of each match.) Play continues throughout the summer. Each winner advances to play the winner from the adjacent bracket. Final play is on Championship Sunday, August 25. “It’s a great tournament, where the excitement builds throughout the season,” said Glenn Kelly, Head Golf Professional. “We can start with two-or-three-dozen players, and by Championship Sunday we’re down to two. The final match play is on that day as the whole club watches.” To sign up, go to the Club website and download the application form, or pick up a form at the Pro Shop. The entry fee is $10.00.

From the General Manager Dear Woods Hole Members! Great things are happening at your Club! Among those has been the very encouraging feedback about our new hours of Clubhouse operation and the full-service menu served every day. I’ve had many Members call me to verify we are indeed open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily…it’s terrific to hear how pleased they are when I tell them that, “Yes, we’re here, and we’ll be waiting for you!” In fact, Member usage has been much stronger this year compared to last year at the same time (almost 50% more Member use in April), and clearly we are off to a great Season! Many Members have told us they would enjoy a good meal or refreshment after a round of golf, and we want to remind everyone that we are open all afternoon, including Saturdays and Sundays. So after your next round, drop by the Clubhouse for some terrific food and a cold beverage. We’ll make sure you are not disappointed. (continued on page 5)
