There’s always one sure sign that winter has come to an end. That’s when all of our soda machines get filled up for the year. The first time loading the machines is always the worst. They are a usually pretty filled with winter debris, so we have to clean them out. Then, we make […]
No. Titleist isn’t paying me to say that. I just have to brag on them a little bit. We recently had a meeting with them to get ready for the new year. Our sales rep is named Trent. He is amazing and treats us really well. When he came in to the clubhouse, he was […]

Sometimes the hum drum of owning and running a business can be daunting. Like insurance. There are just so. many. options. Luckily, we have an absolutely awesome insurance guy by the name of Brian who owns Donaghy Kempton Insurance. I can’t honestly say enough nice things about the guy. He has taken good care of our […]
In the spring, the UPS man and FedEx guy make regular stops at the golf course bringing us new product for the Golf Shop. It is always so exciting to get the big boxes filled with goodies, until the inventory part starts. Each item gets rung into inventory and all new products have to be […]
