This is a great way to show your friends our club and a very reasonable price and hopefully adds to our growing membership!

On Saturday May 12th I will be taking 40 juniors to the Web.com Knoxville Open at Fox Den CC in Knoxville Tn. We will leave from Glenrochie at 7:30, drive to Knoxville, watch some of the rising PGA tour Pro's play, eat dinner and then return to the club that evening. I will also need parents to drive and help with the kids. Please give me a call ASAP if you and your child would like to go. I have 40 tickets for the kids and the parents can buy their tickets at the gate. I will be having a 14-18 age Junior Club team this season. We will play Clear Creek, Blackthorn, Johnson City CC, Cattails and Link Hills. This team is open to boys and girls and we will have home matches as well as away matches. This will be an awesome way for your child to get some competition this summer and a great way for the high school players to prepare for the fall season. Call me at the golf shop asap and I will give you more information. Deadline to register for the PGA Junior League team is Tuesday May 15th. This team is open to all members ages 8-13 and is a great way for your junior golfer to learn the game in a low key, competitive atmosphere. I will need 12-15 players to form the team. Please let me know asap if your youngster is interested. If we don't get enough for the team, I will be having some junior classes especially for this age group that will include lessons, course time and some fun competition.
