A big thank you to Wedgewood members Jerry Dennis, Ted Noirfalise and John Cook for working on the course grounds transplanting grasses. These guys have endured some hot, humid temperatures during their volunteer time.

Wedgewood members Kevin Clary and Doug and Donna Jones recently visited the French Lick Resort in Indiana and enjoyed the beautiful Hoosier National Forest scenery. The threesome played the challenging hilltop Pete Dye Course which features an 8,100 yard course and 40-mile panoramic views. This course has hosted numerous professional events in recent years. The Donald Ross Course built in 1917 and rated the #2 public course in Indiana was also a challenging course with elevated greens and 80 flat bottom, deep, gnarly faced bunkers. In 1924, Walter Hagen won the PGA Championship at this course. The group also played the 9-hole Valley Links historic course built in 1907 by course designer Tom Bendelow.
