The Men’s Tuesday Night League got under way on May 7th and to the surprise of everyone, it didn’t rain. It seems like for the last few years Tuesday night meant we would be playing in showers or threatening thunderstorms.

This year there are 19 teams signed up. The first league night competition was designated as handicap night and “get out the rust” for many. Before play started, there was a meeting held at the practice putting green where the rules for league were reviewed. Some reactions to the rules were, “Rules? We don’t need no stinkin' rules” and “Rules? We never played by any rules before.”

Good luck to all the teams and have a good time.

Greetings from the Pro Shop Manager, Elijah Treski! I would like to start with giving everyone a heartfelt and sincere thank you for welcoming me into your community with open arms. Everyone has been kind, thoughtful and helpful in helping me get acclimated to my new environment quickly and comfortably. A very special thank you to the Board of Directors for taking the time to interview me and ultimately deciding to bring me into the fold.

We have some new and exciting changes in the Pro Shop this year, starting with a few member perks. I will be offering no labor or service charge on re-gripping clubs and re-spiking cleats. Simply pay for the grips and spikes and I will take care of your needs quickly and efficiently. Members are entitled to a 20% off discount on all items in the shop that are not already on sale (loose balls and tees not included).

The Pro Shop will accept clubs from members to be sold on consignment. Once the club is sold, the shop will retain 10% of the sale.

One of my focuses is to encourage our members and community to make their new equipment purchases at out Pro Shop. My goal is to compete and even beat the “Big Box” stores prices. In many cases I can include shipping and handling and still stay completive. I actively work with numerous major product manufacturers like Titleist, TaylorMade, Cleveland/Srixon, Callaway, Nike, FootJoy, Bridgestone and Cobra golf. New this year will be demo clubs and wedges available to use on the driving range. I am presently working on a package to offer demo clubs to be used for a round of golf as well. We presently have 3 Cleveland drivers and 2 wedges to choose from and will be looking to expand to other companies. More details will follow. Check in at the Pro Shop regularly.

We can special order any items for our members and guests and from any companies that we currently work with. If you don’t see the new TaylorMade R1 of Nike Covert Tour driver in the shop and really want one, contact me and I will proactively work on getting you the best price possible.

This year I will be conducting numerous fund raising raffles in the Pro Shop to help raise funds for the clubhouse and course improvements, as well as special raffles during events and tournaments to spice things up. I encourage all our members to check in with us at the Pro Shop regularly to see what new and exciting offerings we have.

There will be many more special offerings and members- only exclusive promotions, so check in with us. Once again, thank you everyone for making me feel right at home here at the Stamford Golf Club. I am thrilled, motivated, excited and humbled to have such a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact with the community I was raised in.

Thank You All,
Elijah
