CARLYLE - The Carlyle Golf and Country Club opened for the season on April 24 after removing the tarps a few days earlier.
This course was established in the 1960s and is located on the north side of Highway 13 at the east entrance of the town.
Terri Field is the club’s manager and Larry Schick is the new grounds superintendent.
Schick is not new to looking after golf greens and he is a welcome addition to the course. This is his first year on the grounds after some training last fall.
The nine-hole course is situated among many large trees, has several rest areas and a barbecue for events.
Monday nights are set aside for the men’s league, while Tuesday evenings are for the women.
A meal is often offered with events, but the food needs to be prebooked.
The third Thursday of each month is for pairs golfing, which brings many golfers, and Tuesday and Thursday morning is drop-in golf, which has become quite popular.
The drop-in golf is open to anyone who wants to play. It is for all ages and genders.
They have several gas golf carts for use and the clubhouse is licensed for those who want a refreshment after a round of golf.
May has been a challenging month, not only for Carlyle but other courses with the amount of moisture received. It is their hope that the rain soon tappers off and the greens have a chance to dry up.
In June, some new merchandise will arrive, and it will be available for purchase.
In August, the club will host the seniors' tournament, which is one of their annual events and is well attended.
More tournaments will be scheduled throughout the season, so book now to get the weekend that works best.
Fields looks forward to another successful season, with many rounds of golf in the future.
