Members, Winter is coming.

Stephen Gage

All our fall outerwear has arrived. The golf shop is stocked with all sorts of options for you to spend your Pro Shop Credit on. Just a friendly reminder that all Credit Book will expire on December 31st. The new apparel consists of Adidas, Ashworth, Donald Ross, Puma, and Travis Matthew.

I’m very excited to announce that we are bringing in 7 Diamonds Clothing Co. Inc. later this fall and will have spring golf polo’s as well. Feel free to go onto their website and look at all the clothing options they have to offer, and we will gladly do our best to special order them of bring something into the shop.

All special orders that involve using Credit Book will need to be placed by no later than December 8th. This will allow us to have ample time to receive the product by the end of the year. There will be no exceptions to this. Please get those orders to Pete, Skyler, or me by that date.

We appreciate everyone here at Hillcrest CC and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Let’s have a strong end to 2024!

Thanks Stephen,

DIRECTOR OF GOLF
