The Homefront column is designed to inform our members where in the community our new residents are liv-
ing and other residences they may have. It also keeps up with our present members who
have stayed in the community but moved to new dwellings.
Of course we always wish our members who are moving out of the community good luck
wherever their travels take them and our new members and established members good
luck in their new address.

It was another wonderful Nine, Wine and Dine on February 3, and another day of super luck with the weather. Again there was a
large turnout with enough players to cover both courses with four nine-hole flights, everyone playing a step-aside scramble. Our
new Director of Golf, J.R.Congdon and Head Golf Pro, Rich Luchini and their wonderful golf staff did the great and efficient job
organizing and running the tournament that everyone has come to expect. As usual, the post-golf cocktail party and dinner
provided a perfect conclusion for an enjoyable afternoon, with both adding new and delicious culinary treats to the already great
menu. Thank you to our super chef and staff. Co-chairs Carol Smith and Joanne Weinbach continue to provide us with lovely and
successful events.

Ladies Golf Member Guest
The first Ladies’ Member Guest Golf Tournament of the 2016-2017 season, on February 7, was a resounding success in
every way. The theme of the day, based on the Kentucky Derby, was the Frenchman’s Creek Derby, and everything
really did “come up roses.” Wonderful weather provided a great start to the day. There was a large turnout of
members, some of whom had up to three guests, with the guests representing forty-seven different clubs. Fifty
groups, more than covering both courses, played a shamble format, with everyone hitting from the best drive and
each continuing with her own ball from there. The players were divided into four flights, with a longest drive award for
each flight. There was also a closest to the pin award for members and guests in each flight. For one closest to the pin,
there was no question - - a hole-in-one by Lois Kleinberg on North 13.
Following golf was a lovely cocktail party and fabulous luncheon offering a delicious buffet menu with a wonderful
variety of choices. The room was beautifully decorated in line with the
theme and all the roses made for a very delightful setting. Even the
imaginative dessert followed the theme with a lovely plate highlighted by
an “edible bonnet”. All participants
received a gift of a pair of golf shoes
that they were able to design
themselves. How imaginative!
Co-chairs Donna Baron, Dottie Kovel
and Sharon Rocklin and their
committee did an absolutely
marvelous job, which was supported, as usual, by Frenchman’s Creek’s
wonderful golf and culinary staff.
