Happy To Be Here

I would like to say hello to all the members and friends of Kingswood Golf and Country Club. My name is Mike Gottfred and I am the new head professional here at Kingswood.

I arrived here after 16 seasons at Carman Golf Club. I look forward to meeting everyone here at Kingswood and will do my best to continue the good work done by my predecessor Brad Keats. I would like to wish Brad all the best in his new endeavors.

There will be a few changes in the day to day operations here in the Pro Shop and most of it centers around our new computerized tee sheet and point of sale system. The biggest change the golfers will see are the ability to book your tee times online and a different slip going to the starter. The process in the shop will be streamlined with a lot less paperwork involved.

If you are reading this, you will have seen that we have a new website for the club. We have a fairly bare boned start, but will be adding to it regularly. The purpose of this blog is to get information and news out to members and friends of the club in a timely manner. Stay tuned as I plan to update the blog regularly during the season.

My first note of congratulations goes to Ron McMorris for a Hole in One last week on the 17th hole. Way to go Ron!!
