Worcester Country Clubs “Clubs Within the Club” program allows fellow Members to share interests and commonalities to get together to have a great time! We listed a few potential “Clubs within the Club” (below) that we thought would be of interest to many Members. We also would like to encourage everyone to get involved as we help create an environment where Members can design and run their own specialty clubs. Members decide whether they want to meet on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to discuss, sample or do something active. We’re happy to assist in finding like-minded Members, providing tips and getting the Clubs up and running! Potential Clubs; Book Club - Bowling Club - Vintners Club - Theatre Club - Walking Club - Movie Club Ladies Aerobics Club - Women’s Business Club - Bridge Club - Photography Club Bird Watching Club - Putts & Pints Club - Cribbage Club - 4 Hole Club - Coffee Club WCC Patriots Fan Club - WCC Red Sox Fan Club - WCC Bruins Fan Club The list is endless just as our Members interests are. Please don’t be bashful, you may be surprised how many Members have the same interests you do. The number of Members in a club does not reflect the success of the club. Clubs may have 2, 5, 10, or as many Members that are interested in that activity. A great example of a club is this years “Ladies Night Out” which meets at the club the first Thursday of every month. There are specialty cocktails and hors d’ oeuvres offered. Sometimes they have 4 attendees and other nights they may have up to 12 or more. Many of the ladies met other Members for the first time. Should you wish to be chairperson of a club or start a club, lets get together and create a flyer to send out to the entire Membership and see what interest there may be. Once your club gets together you may wish to determine the best day and time to meet. Please email or call Bill Shaw our General Manager if you would like to discuss the opportunity to form a club. shawb@worcestercc.org / (508)853-8064 x101

Season Opening Event Great Event to Bring Prospective Members! 1925 & 1960 Replica U.S. Open Trophies to be Unveiled Saturday, April 28th We hope you can join us on Saturday, April 28th for this wonderful evening honoring the unique history of your Worcester Country Club and our contribution to the local, state and national golf history. With approval from the United States Golf Association we were able to procure replica trophies of the two U.S. Opens that we hosted here. The 1925 Men’s U.S. Open and the 1960 Women’s U.S. Open. Only the silversmith in Cheshire England has been approved by the USGA to create these trophies. With the sterling silver trophies taking 20 weeks for the craftsmanship of the silversmith to create them, they have arrived, and they are beautiful. We have a great evening planned for your enjoyment with some very notable guest speakers coming for the evening. Presently we have Joe Sprague, USGA Director Regional Affairs-Northeast, Bill Doyle, Sports Reporter Worcester Telegram, Jesse Menachem, Executive Director Massachusetts State Golf Association and Worcester Mayor and Councilor-at-Large Joseph Petty. As more rsvp’s arrive from invited guest speakers we will update you accordingly. Stay tuned. Club historian Steve Ayres will be our Master of Ceremonies. 5:00pm
