This weekend is our inaugural Parent Child tournament. For anyone who has read more than two of these weekly updates, you’ll know that junior golf is in the center of our bullseye. As we are building our 2025 calendar, I’m so proud to announce that we will be hosting two major junior championships next year. The first is the US Kids, South Carolina State Championship in March. This event will have over 100 players between the ages of 5 and 14. Imagine the size of the smile on the face of a Champion at this age.
The second major event that we’re hosting is the Carolinas Golf Association Junior Match Play Championship in June. This event will begin with a qualifier to determine the top 64 players, then a series of match play events over a few days to determine the CGA Jr. Match Play Champion. Over the years, I’ve been involved in hosting quite a few of these types of events and I can remember holding several trophies with some very young champions, that we’ve watched on TV for years, who didn’t need any help hoisting bigger trophies.
Not all of our events are junior events. Next weekend is our inaugural Member / Guest Championship. This first year event will include 27 holes of competition and plenty of food and libations to ensure that even the adults are smiling like heroes.
On the membership front, we have a few weeks remaining of our Young Executive Golf Membership promotion. For those of you under the age of 40 who enjoy playing golf with your friends, give me a call and you’ll be pleased to hear about how we can get you and your regular foursome to become members of Cat Island Club.
For those of you who may be interested in our highest level of membership, we do have a small number of Lifetime Founding Memberships available. This membership category has a one-time fee and no monthly dues—and best of all, it’s transferrable one time. I’m sure your children would love to have this passed along to them; or if you were to sell your home, this would be a pretty nice benefit for a new home buyer. Again, if you have an interest in this or any of our membership categories, please never hesitate to give me a call to set up a time to chat and allow me to share the vision for the future of Cat Island Club.
Members, don’t forget, this Sunday from 10AM-2PM is our Sunday brunch at the club. Our team is ready to serve up a great menu of brunch items along with some delicious specials. Sunday brunch will be served each week until next summer, so put this on your calendar to make this a weekly habit.
I also want to close this week by thanking the members of Cat Island Club from the bottom of my heart for their care and support of one of our own. You all have stepped up in a way that I could not ever imagine and I’m still trying to figure out how you get a shirt on to cover your wings and Superman logos. Thank you all, you know who you are.
With warmest regards,
Tim Mervosh
General Manager
