Are you playing in the Firethorn Pro-Member this Friday, May 9? If you are, don't forget Thursday, May 8, is the Pairings Party. The party starts at 7pm and at 7:30 we will auction off the first 10 choices of the professional field to the highest bidders. The rest of the pro's will then be drawn at random that night. Come out, have some pizza, and see which professional will be playing with your team on Friday.

Don’t forget to sign up for the 2008 Quest, to be held July 24, 25, & 26. For those that are not familiar, this is our annual Member-Guest tournament, and it’s the best event of the year. Over ½ the field is already set so hurry and call the golf shop to reserve your spot in this year’s event.

Call the golf shop today and become a member of the Firethorn Hole in One Club. Cost is only $5 each time another club member makes a hole in one. That lucky club member receives ½ of that money collected as an account credit and the other ½ in golf shop credit. You never know, the next one could be you.
