Chairman's Message

        For those of you who made the 2007 Whistling Straits Annual Meeting, you know what an amazing place Herb Kohler created.  And if you saw the Seniors Open at Whistling Straits, you could see the drama build at those trying last three holes.  I still can't believe that the pros could get up and down
with a 17 foot carry out of the bunkers on the left down by the lake on 17! 
Finally, 18 became even more special knowing that Ramus won the Lawhon Cup on that last hole with a birdie chip!

        It all began 10 years ago in Ireland.  Like kids grinning who just snuck out
of school, we all showed up for a week of great golf.  Ireland, Adare Manor,
and each of us will never be the same.  So.... we're going back!  Your golf
selection committee has put together an amazing trip, and if you want to
sing, join us for a pint, or maybe a Middies, then contact Sammy Baker ASAP
and get your money in!
