Happy New Year!
I hope that your holidays were full of joy and good tidings.  JLGA is off to a fine start in 2023.  We have a few events scheduled and will have a full 2023 schedule shortly. Hope to see all y’all at the Muni this year.  The first newsletter of 2023 follows.

Interclub
The Muni Team competed in the January Interclub Tournament at Charleston National Golf Course on January 16th.  It was a chilly day in Mt Pleasant and the scores were a match.  The Muni Team scored a 4th Place finish.  The course setup and playing conditions were splendid and the course was tough. High scorers for Muni were Jim Kelechi, Don Orlando, and Dickie Simpson. Don Orlando also netted a close-up on the 7th Hole.  The next Interclub Tournament is at the Muni on Monday, February 6th at 10:00 AM.  The team has been filled out for this event.

Caddies Are Now Available at the Muni 
An extension of the Chick Evans Caddie Program has been instituted at the Muni.  Golfers can support Charleston Muni’s youth caddie program by booking a caddie.

A base caddie fee of $40 and lunch is provided by the Western Golf Association. The WGA asks golfers to tip for good service. (Recommended tip for a good job for 18 holes is $20).

Through the Evans Scholars Foundation, the Charleston Muni youth caddies could have a chance to qualify for a full tuition and housing scholarship to one of the partner universities. Improve your game, and help grow and support the Charleston golf community by taking a caddie today!

Youth caddies are available for weekend rounds of golf.  To book caddies; Contact Kyle Peters at kapst33@mail.rmu.edu.
