For those celebrating, what a great day Easter turned out to be!  To see all the families present and enjoying what I am sure was an amazing brunch was exciting. The festivities certainly gave life to a club that was craving a 70-degree day.  I was fortunate enough to spend the morning at home and see the sheer joy on my four-year-old daughter Emerson’s face when she walked down to see her Easter basket.  I think she was just as excited to explore the contents of my five-month-old daughter Libby’s basket.  My wife Nessa had fun snapping photos of the girls while I was at work.

As the spring weather continues to improve, never mind the occasional setbacks, the upcoming weeks at Conway are going to be exciting! The season will kick off in full swing with the Demo Day on May 17.  We look forward to helping you find which new clubs will help you achieve the most success on the golf course this season.  Taylor Made, Adidas, Titleist, FootJoy, Nike, Cobra, Cleveland, Mizuno and Callaway have all committed to Demo Day, and with the help of these vendors we plan on the event being a great success.  The outdoor grill will be up and running that day too, so bring the whole family out to enjoy the day!

Following the Demo Day there are a couple of team events the following week. May 18 is the Men’s Two-Man Match Play Qualifier.  Find a partner and come out to try and qualify for the bracket and get the chance to take down the 2013 Champions, Mr. Trent Anderson and Mr. Sam Ankin.  Also that week is the Opening Golf and Luncheon for the ladies as well as the David L. Amory Invitational.  We look forward to seeing you out for these events! We want to make your experience on the course and participation in these events a memorable one! Please let us know how we can help, always.

 
Completing this busy week in May is the Foundation Cup which works with the efforts of the Conway Farms Golf Club Foundation.  In my short time here, I know it is an event the staff appreciates more than I can express.  The Conway Farms Golf Club Foundation was established in 2003 and thanks to the generous donations from the membership it has touched over 80 qualified club employees in its ten years of existence. The Foundation Cup was started to work in conjunction with the fundraising efforts while offering a competitive event.  Pick a partner and come out on either May 24 or 25 to participate in this event.  Things like this are what set Conway apart from other clubs and make it such a special place to work!

Speaking of Conway being a great place to work, I continue to find this to be the case day in and day out.  On Easter alone I had numerous families go out of their way to introduce themselves and talk with me.  As I am meeting the members for the first time, it is also great to meet all of your families and get to know a little bit about them as well.  I look forward to continued opportunities to do so and also share more stories about myself and my family.

 Golf is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that no one is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will live life faithfully and well.                          P.G. Wodehouse
