For anyone that missed it, the June 14th Fenelon Falls Town Crier Newsletter featured an interview with Mike Gascho as the Sturgeon Point Golf Club looks fore-ward to a new season.

If you don’t already know, the club now offers tee time booking online!

All players are encouraged to book online. Better yet, become a member and have access to member-only times on the weekends.
