Summer is here, and I hope everyone will have an opportunity to participate in all the great activities planned this month at TVCC. As you have seen in previous months Divots, the Annual Women’s Charity Guest Day is our highlight event for the summer. Thank you to all who participated and donated to our June Home of My Own charity sponsored events, Games Galore & More as well as the Family Bingo & Pasta Night. A special thank you to Michele Pozarny, Francine Palermo, MaryAnn Maggio, as well as the entire TVCC staff, for their time and talent in organizing these events to support a great cause. If you were unable to attend one of these events, please see the articles in this month’s Divot for the many other ways you can help.
Women’s golf is in full “swing” as well. I hope all ladies, regardless of skill level, will participate in the many events scheduled during the month of July. Details on all these events can be found on the following pages. As always, please do not hesitate to contact myself or any member of the Women’s Committee, should you have any questions or concerns.
Have a safe, fun filled 4th of July!
Fellow golFers,
Thank you to those who have played in our various tournaments and events to date. We appreciate the time many of you have taken to complete our surveys for our Opening Day, Spring Bird, and Grip it and Sip it Events. You’ve given us some good feedback regarding formats, food options, event timing, and pricing which will be useful as we plan for next year! Be sure to check ForeTees to sign up for our women’s events in July, including our Wine Down Wednesday on July 12, the Mixer on July 13, and the 18-Hole Guest Day on July 20. Plan ahead for August as well:
9 Hole Championship on August 3
Charity Guest Day on August 10
18 Hole Championship on August 12 and August 13
Women’s Mixers on August 17 and August 31
Wine Down Wednesday on August 23

Please remember to post your scores when you play and consider joining in on some of our season long tournaments such as Ringers Tournament and Member-Member! During the season, please feel free to reach out to us or our golf professionals should you have any questions or suggestions! We are looking forward to golfing with many of you during the season!
