Attention Members: If you are unfamiliar with our yearly Christmas Pro Shop Sale we want to make you very familiar prior to that time. On Thursday, December 6th from 6:00PM to 8:00PM we will have the sale of the year. Any Credit Book and Gift certificates for merchandise in the golf pro shop will expire at the end of this year so this is the time to take advantage of percentages off. First if you attend the Pot of Gold event that night you automatically will get 5% off of the member price. Then we will have a Christmas tree full of gifts that you can choose from to see what your extra percentage on top of that will be. I know it’s early but Christmas is just around the corner. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Get this on your calendar now.
If you have any questions please contact the pro shop or email me at [email protected] for your support, Ben Burns, PGA Head Golf Professional Crown Colony Country Club
