Return of a Classic - Friday Afternoon Golf Until a few years ago, HVSC had an active group of golfers who played every Friday afternoon during the summer. Each week we played a different golf course starting at 3 pm, then adjourned to a local watering hole. Unfortunately, participation waned and we stopped scheduling the events.

Let’s see if we can revive the tradition with a few small changes. A one-time monthly event to gauge interest level. If popular, more will be scheduled.

• Friday July 20, 2018 at College Hill Golf Course, 149 N. Clinton St, Poughkeepsie. • Tee time 2:00 p.m. for 18 holes, 4:00 p.m. for 9 holes.

Call the organizer, John Macek at 845-489-6056, or email him at [email protected], so tee-time reservations can be made. We hope to see you there.
