3 Make the most out of this season Welcome to the 2019 golf season at The Ledges. It is with great enthusiasm that I write to you about the exciting things going on at the club this year. The schedule includes new tournaments and events for all levels of players. Two events that I am most looking forward to are the Superintendent's Revenge in March and the one-day Member Guest in the fall. This year marks the launch of The Ledges Junior Academy and The Ladies Golf Academy, where we will be taking both programs to new heights with dedicated instruction by our top PGA Professionals. With the completion of the Golf Academy, we will be able to offer a golfing experience during all weather conditions and provide an unparalleled level of instruction with our state-of-the-art equipment and technology. This is an exciting time at The Ledges and I am glad you are part of it. Rob Clark, PGA Regards, Rob Clark Director of Golf
