From 2 Rice Street A reminder that Men’s Twilite on Tuesdays has finished for the year, so Tuesday afternoons are open for play. Come out and take advantage of the beautiful fall playing conditions! On Tuesday’s lunch will be served until 5:00pm and the bar will remain open until the last players are off the course. There is no dinner service on Tuesdays. Our golf course is our biggest asset and as members of the club, you are owners. Treat the club facilities as an owner should. Our culture is to take care of the facilities and leave them in better shape than when you arrive. Some simple ways you can help: • Bunkers – be sure to rake bunkers every time you enter one. This is one area that may not be done each day. • Divots – replace them (preferred) or fill with sand. With cooler temperatures, divots will grow back quickly if replaced and weeds will not germinate. • Ball Marks – repair yours every time. If you did not hit the green, find one or two to fix while you are waiting to putt. Reminder that you may hit the front of the green, and your ball rolls off the back. Check the front of the green for marks. •
Practice Range – Please clean balls of the chipping green after you are finished and rake the practice bunker. Leave the practice area in better condition than you found it.
• Pace of Play – Reminder of our 4-hour pace of play policy. Staff do their best to monitor pace, but you are responsible for your group’s pace. Please pay attention to your pace. • Dress Code – A reminder that Men’s shirts must be always tucked in. Please ensure your guests are aware. • Cell Phones – Noticing more cell phone usage on the course and in member areas that are not appropriate. Please limit cell phone usage to locker rooms and parking lots. Cell phone usage is not appropriate on the golf course, practice facilities, patio, clubhouse or bar. Please remind your guests of this policy. Holiday Parties – Now is the time to book your Holiday Party at the club! Contact Ryan Perkins, perkinsr@worcestercc.org to book and plan. Hope to see you at the club soon! Troy Sprister General Manager/COO

40 Under Forty, Class of 2026
In its 27th year, WBJ’s 40 Under Forty awards recognize some of the region’s most promising young professionals. This year’s winners already run companies and departments, overseeing hundreds of employees and patients, managing projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, developing new technologies, shaping public policy, and building organizations from the ground up. Throughout this year’s class, professional achievement is intertwined with community involvement. Winners coach youth sports, serve on nonprofit boards, mentor students and younger professionals, advocate for people in need, raise money for charities, and volunteer in the communities where they live and work. Worcester CC is proud to have six members among this elite group of 40. Well done! They will be honored at the 40 Under 40 event on Sept. 16 at Mechanics Hall in Worcester.

Trivia’s Answer
Answer: Stewart Maiden from Carnoustie, Scotland. From an early age, Bobby Jones tried to copy Stewart’s swing. Stewart became Jones’s golf mentor and lifetime friend. These words, which we should all heed, were said to Bobby Jones on the practice range at Worcester Country Club shortly before he played in the 1925 US Open.
