YOU’VE ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED YOUR TEE SHOT AND HAVE ONLY 85 YARDS LEFT INTO THE GREEN.

 

AGC did open as scheduled for golf only, and per New York State’s ruling, members took to the course on foot with their bags over their shoulders.  Protocols are in place to make the membership feel as safe as they would anywhere, and now that they’ve done it, members say walking the course is something they’ll do more often.

What could be better than Anglebrook? How about Anglebrook plus 40 yards? Members will find that out in 2021 when a new black tee opens on No. 18! And despite the obstacles, it was a terrific season—especially for the two members who made aces in September!

Life has been complicated enough in 2020, so why open the round of golf at Anglebrook with three of the most challenging holes on the course in the opening quartet? We thought it was a good year to give our members a break, and thus our nines have officially been reversed—meaning the Anglebrook round begins with one of the easier holes on the course and we all have some time to find our swings before coming to our version of “Amen Corner.”
 

We suspect Trent Jones would be smiling at this change and other developments, too. He would definitely be smiling at the fact that one of Anglebrook’s holes was ranked among the best short par-4s in the metropolitan area in a recent issue of the MGA publication The Met Golfer.

When a PGA Tour veteran tells you Anglebrook reminds them of Pine Valley, which happens to be the No. 2 ranked golf course in the world, you take note … and notes! Page three of this issue features a story on Ken Green, who made 508 starts on the PGA Tour and played in a Ryder Cup. He played Anglebrook recently and shared his insights about the course, as well as becoming the first amputee to play professional golf in an inspiring comeback story.

Elsewhere in this edition, we welcome our 2^nd hole as the latest in a continuing series of Anglebrook holes to be named among the best in all of Westchester County by Westchester Magazine.
