Second Annual Northminster Men's Golf Outing
Join us on August 14th at Mohawk Hills Golf Club with a "shotgun" start at 1:00 pm. Get your-singles, twosomes, threesomes, or foursomes together and contact Bob Bowers ( or 259-7366). We will fill out any incomplete foursomes. We will be playing as individuals and use a blind bogey handicap system (calculated by the club pro). Practice will start at 12:00 with registration from 12:00 - 12:45. Cost will be $50 per person, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart, meal (afterwards), drinks during play, practice balls (irons only) putting green, and prizes. Make checks payable to Northminster with "GOLF OUTING" and turn them into the church office. If any of you golfers or non-golfers know businesses who might donate a door prize for our outing, please contact them and let Bob know!
