Why do I belong to the Gross Men’s Club ?:

I enjoy the camaraderie of the Men’s club, the varied events, and I never get tired of playing this challenging golf course. The greens are very puttable and can be confounding, if a correct read is not supplied. The subtleties of the course are interesting and the par three holes are all quite challenging, especially if you try to get close to the pin on your tee shot and fail.
