WELCOME TO THE MEN'S CLUB
A Note From Your Men's Club President
Greetings from Boston
Time is flying by here in New England, just like everywhere else, I'm sure.
This past weekend, we celebrated our 250th year as a self-proclaimed independent nation.
It's not really possible for me to take stock of 250 years of our United States and its incredible history... sometimes horrible, but many times splendid...
But I know it's a history that has moved the world forward. I believe that whatever parts of our history are less than splendid are more a reflection of how much we might be a better people and improve ourselves as human beings than a discredit to our Country or its Constitution and Ideals.
Our country doesn't let us down... we fail it.
I have a great deal of affection for the UK and my friends there, but I do celebrate the fact that we threw off the King and chose another path 250 years ago, and this week I am particularly aware of how proud and grateful I am to be an American.
There are, of course, many wonderful countries and great people in the world, helping to make it a better place.
More than 20 countries will be represented among the 60-some tall ships coming to Boston this week, and of course, there are the 45 countries that sent teams to our World Cup, along with our beloved co-hosts Canada and Mexico.
All in all, a great week to celebrate being alive and to just enjoy the summer.
As for the Men's Club, some of our board members are already hard at work this summer preparing for what we hope will be another great season.
I'm also grateful, if not quite as proud, to be a member of our community at Palm Valley.
It's been a wonderful place for me over the past few years... full of great times, laughs, camaraderie, new friends, and, very occasionally, some good golf. I'm looking forward to more of the same this year, with maybe a little more good golf and a little less of my usual mediocrity.
If you haven't already, please send your survey to the Club.
We truly believe that our new ownership cares about making our club better, and now is a wonderful chance for you to share your thoughts. You can find the survey link in the club update we sent out on July 4th, and we kindly ask you to complete it soon.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.
Warmest regards,
Mark Simpson, Men's Club President
