Thomas Hutchings and Chad Guyott won the Jack Leaman Division of the Garber Memorial 4 Ball, and Alex Kielb and Steve Gosiorowski won the Steve Cutler Division. A hand goes out to the 16 teams that played in the Garber under some pretty difficult weather conditions on Memorial Day weekend!

The Legends hung on to beat the Wilbraham Silver Knights today to retain possession of the coveted brass spittoon (at least until the rematch at Wilbraham C. C. in July). As usual, Carl Teschke and crew served up a fine BBQ which was enjoyed by all . . . and note that the awning is finally up!

If you’ve played at our club in the past week, you’ve probably noticed several signs that play is returning to normal. Here is a quick summary of changes we’ve put in place in light of the recent relaxation of COVID restrictions by the Commonwealth:

• Masks are no longer required anywhere outdoors at the course as long as social distancing can be maintained. Please note: Masks are still required in the Pro Shop.
• Ball washers have been re-installed.
• Trap rakes are now available but using them is optional. If your ball lands in an unraked footprint you still have the option to lift and place your ball in the bunker.
• Cup liners are no longer in use, and you can leave the flag stick in or remove it when putting.
• The computer in the Pro Shop is now available for entering your scores for your GHIN handicap.
• Water stations (with single-use cups) are now available on the course.

Other non-golf restrictions such as food service guidelines and size of gatherings are also being relaxed, and we will continue to monitor them for compliance for events at our club.

Sincerely,

Amherst Golf Club Board of Directors
