With the advent of good weather, we have begun holding a golf skills contest during Pavilion cocktail hour each Friday.  Our first event of the year was held April 2, with more than 25 property owners putting it out on a 10 hole golf course on our primary practice green.   Kathy Amato and Chris Babich ended regulation putting in a dead heat in the ladies division, with Chris winning on the second playoff hole.  Ken Kirkman won the men’s division by one golf shot, shooting a 21.

On April 9th a difficult closest to the pin contest was held from the right green-side bunker complex of the 9th green.  Men and women competed together, with the men having a long bunker shot, and the women a shorter one.  With the pin set across the green and near the fall-off into the pond, the shot was challenging.  Each player got one practice shot, and then two that counted.  Balls went everywhere (into the pond) and nowhere (still in the bunker) and in between.  Roland Gifford prevailed, with a ball ending 10 feet 3 inches from the cup.

Grab your golf clubs and join your fellow property owners as we all enjoy the Carolina Colours practice green, golf course fairways and golf greens.  We look forward to sharing the sport of golfing with you in the near future!

Ken Gerhardt, general manager
