August Meeting at The Summit Club Canceled for 2021
Due to unexpected delays in renovating and transforming the course at The Summit Club at Armonk (NY), our meeting and outing previously planned for August 31st this summer has been canceled for 2021. We do expect to reschedule a visit to The Summit for early next season.
Formerly known as Brynwood G&CC, and before that as the Canyon Club, The Summit has been closed for the past several years. The newly renamed facility has been undergoing extensive course changes under the supervision of architect Rees Jones. Unfortunately, the course won’t be fully ready for play in 2021.
The MGWA Activities Committee is working on securing a new venue for a meeting and outing during the final week of August. That gathering would feature the highly popular MGWA Team Shootout competition. Also to be announced is our calendar of get-togethers for this fall.
Here are some details about the first three MGWA gatherings scheduled this season.
Tuesday, May 4th --- Pound Ridge (NY) GC. The only Pete Dye course design in New York State, assisted by son Perry Dye. A challenging layout with multiple tee box options traverses rolling terrain with woods and streams. Guest speakers: Darren Wang, ownership; Brad Worthington, Director of Golf. Met Golf Association: Helen Farrelly, Director of Communications, will preview the 73rd MGA Public Links Championship scheduled for June 17th at Pound Ridge. Competition: Quill & Tee President’s Cup, a net event with handicaps.
Tuesday, June 8th --- Pelham (NY) CC. The club recently completed a large-scale redesign and rerouting to its classic course under the supervision of architect Mike DeVries, whose other handiwork in the Met area includes Siwanoy, Sunningdale, and Tamarack. Competition: Quill & Tee men’s and women’s qualifiers for the MGA Four Ball Championships, a two-person net Better Ball, aka the Met Net.
Monday, July 19th --- North Jersey CC, Wayne, NJ. Our MGWA Club of the Year is a gem of a course designed by Walter Travis and is undergoing a strategic plan of upgrades and renovations being overseen by Brian Schneider and Renaissance Golf. A number of special guests and other activities are being planned to help celebrate NJCC’s designation as Club of the Year. Short Game Clinic conducted by Brian Mackie, noted golf instructor. Competition: Quill & Tee men’s and women’s Club Championships and the Q&TGC member-guest tournament, held concurrently.
