Dear Members,
 
I hope this message finds you warm, safe, and healthy-especially those of you braving the chilly Northeast! With the snow piling up and temperatures dropping, it's that time of year again: our greens are officially closed for the season.
 
Once the snow melts, Jason and his dedicated crew will set up the temporary greens. Until then, the course will be off-limits for play-not that the weather is making it very inviting right now!
When the temporary greens are ready and the weather cooperates, the course will be open for walking only through the off-season.
 
Speaking of walking, I want to share the best way to navigate the course during this "snowbird'' setup. This arrangement makes walking a bit easier and keeps things flowing smoothly.
 
The course will be played in the following sequence:
 
1 to 9, 9 to 10, 10 through 12, 12 to 8, 8 to 2, 2 to 7, 7 to 13, 13 through 15, 15 to 5, 5 to 4. Please note that the 16th hole will be closed all winter, so from 4 you'll proceed to 3, then 3 to 6, 6 to 17, and finish with 17 and 18.
 
Wishing all of you a joyful, healthy holiday season and a fantastic New Year! We're already gearing up for next season, which promises to be even better than the last. I can't wait to see what's in store for MGCC!
 
Stay warm and take care,
