In Recognition of our Members Posted July 26, 2022

If you’ve braved the heat to play in the past week or so, you’ve noticed the new stone steps on the 3rd and 5th hole tee boxes. This work was made possible by member donations this past spring. Previous year’s contributions in excess of dues enabled us to purchase a new deck awning and resurface sections of our cart paths. Thanks again to all our generous donors who are helping to upgrade Amherst Golf Club in a variety of ways…

I also want to acknowledge the fine step installation work done by Superintendent Carl Teschke and his crew. Doing this work in-house saved AGC a bundle in outside labor costs. Thanks Carl!

I hope you can find time to enjoy our course in the coming weeks…

Mark McCandlish,
AGC Board President
