Clubhouse

Members of the Minnewasta Golf and Country Club gathered for the Club's semi-annual meeting on Tuesday, where they were keen to hear any updates on the new clubhouse project. "There's not much to update, really," explained Head Pro and General Manager, Greg Hesom, adding things have been moving behind the scenes. "We are very close to finalizing our plans. We have our architects working with the general contractor at the moment." The hope is put shovels in the ground in April.  While members of the Club were able to catch a sneak peek of the building plans last fall, Hesom says the public is going to have to wait a little bit longer. It all hinges on whether the Club's application for $800,000 through the Province's Arts and Culture Community Fund is successful. "If we don't get that grant, we may have to make some alterations (to the plans) if we aren't able to fund raise the different," explained Hesom. "We're going ahead as if we are going to get that grant,  » Read More

26 January 2023 11:58 Sophie Rennie Comments (0) Golf and leisure company Green Circle has submitted an updated masterplan for the revamp of Allerton Manor Golf Club, including an expansion of the existing golf course and redesigned clubhouse. The 128-acre golf club is located on Allerton Road in Woolton. It currently comprises a 5,500-yard municipal golf course and a nine-hole academy course, as well as a clubhouse, and grade-two listed manor. Planning permission to rework the site had been granted in 2021. Delays in discharging conditions and a rethink during Covid led Green Circle to plot out an alternative masterplan, which was submitted to Liverpool City Council’s planning authority in December. In this updated masterplan from Liverpool-based architects Brock Carmichael, there are several key changes. These include a redesigned clubhouse, improved Hay Loft function space, and an extended terrace to improve the social space at the club. A new lake, drainage balancing pond, and the relocation of a future adventure golf course to an area adjacent to the clubhouse are also planned.  » Read More

Tea with lemon is not an untried combination discovered by the great Arnold Palmer. It was, however, a favorite of his after a round of golf – and people took notice, so much so that clubhouses ignore the drink at their peril.There’s an obvious reason for its popularity. The Arnold Palmer served by The Grill at Point Pinos on the Pacific Grove Golf Links is a 50-50 blend of tea and lemonade – a cool and bracing sip. Unsweetened tea haunts the friskier lemonade, lending it a brusque aspect. The teetering balance of fresh and biting with just a little calming sweetness can replenish spirits after a long day on the course. Plus, you know – Arnie. No, he never said “I’ll have a me” when ordering. The name stuck after Palmer began asking for iced tea with a big splash of lemonade, and golf fans caught on.The John Daly began as an “adult” version of the Arnold Palmer – the same blend of tea and lemonade, livened up with a shot of vodka.  » Read More

MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — The Rocket City Trash Pandas are getting ready for their third season at Toyota Field. However, before the first pitch of the 2023 season, the team needs to make some upgrades to the stadium. With a nearly brand-new facility, the question a lot of people are asking is “why?” In February 2021, MLB finished a re-organization of the 120 minor league teams. Part of the agreement between the major and minor leagues is a new set of standards for all MiLB ballparks across the country. This has led to many teams having to make major adjustments to their stadiums. Unfortunately for Toyota Field, those standards came out just after construction was finished. According to a resolution shared by the City of Madison, Toyota Field was assigned 78 points in an audit of the facility. The standards require all minor league teams to have “no more than 9 points by the start of the 2025 season.” The city and the Trash Pandas have created a two-phase plan to get the ballpark up to the new MiLB standards.  » Read More

In a shock turn of events, two of LIV Golf's biggest opponents now won't have a say on its precious OWGR bid LIV Golf’s ongoing quest to obtain Official World Golf Rankings points has been given a major boost with two of the league’s biggest opponents dropping out of the crucial decision-making process. In a shock turn of events, both PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and DP World Tour CEO Keith Pelley have recused themselves from voting on whether Greg Norman’s series will be afforded OWGR accreditation. As reported by The Telegraph’s James Corrigan, the pair have opted out of voting on the matter as a result of their conflicted legal interests – meaning the decision to grant LIV OWGR status will now fall on representatives from golf’s four major championships. Keith Waters, a close ally of Pelley who represents the International Federation of PGA Tours, has also taken the same action. “At the last OWGR board meeting myself, Jay Monahan and Keith Waters recused ourselves and now a separate committee made up of the four majors will now determine the application,” Pelley said.  » Read More

WINTER BEACH — The county aims to begin revitalizing Sandridge Golf Club this year, and plans are to start soon for the key component, a new clubhouse.The existing clubhouse is to be replaced with one about triple the size, according to director Bela Nagy, who said the space feels crammed now, even during 140-person events. The new 18,000-square-foot clubhouse — which would include a banquet hall, kitchens, a restaurant and bar — could cost up to $9 million, but the self-sustaining operation will pay for it from its own revenue, he said."We've kind of outgrown the facility over the years," Nagy said. "We've been open since 1987. At that time, it was just a trailer, and then we moved into this current clubhouse in '92."Hall of Fame: 83-year-old Vero Beach resident inducted into Michigan PGA's Hall of FameDistrict golf: Morningside, Vero Beach and South Fork boys, Pine's Castaldi take titlesOn the links: Sports reporter relishes own experiences as competitorSandridge has two 18-hole courses: the Dunes Course,  » Read More
