LETTER FROM YOUR POPE TEAM
Dear Twin Isles Country Club Members,
As we enter into our peak winter season, I would like to welcome all
new and returning members back to the Club. The Golf Course and
Tennis Courts are very active. The course is looking great and the
greens are rolling! The tennis courts are lively and the competition
intense. Our events are in full swing. Make a reservation for dinner in
the dining room and enjoy Happy Hour from 3-6. As events are selling
out be sure to make a reservation early to not miss out on the fun!
Please continue to enjoy this season at Twin Isles and remember my
door is always open. See you around the Club soon.
Your General Manager
Lea Warner

TILGA UPDATE
TILGA started off the New Year with the "Alligator Classic" (a bracketed match play
event) which goes on for about 4 weeks. This year the 9-Hole Ladies joined the
event. Therefore, there will be a 9-Hole and an 18-Hole winner.
On Jan.11, we had a great turnout at our annual TILGA Cocktail Party with
appetizers and cash bar drinks. This event is a "mixer" for the regular TILGA golfers
welcoming the new TILGA golf members, the returning and new Seasonal golf
members.
On Jan. 26 and 27 TILGA will have the Member/Member 2-Day Ringer
Tournament. Members choose their own partners. The first day will be regular play
using the best ball of the two. The second day it will be a shotgun starting at 8:30
a.m. with the team having a chance to improve their score. The tourney will
conclude with a luncheon and prizes.
Feb. 16 will be a Shirt and Skirt Tournament. It is the TILGA charity event for the
season. TICC men golf members will be asked to voluntarily sign up and play with
the ladies. One man will join each ladies' team of 3. The game is the 2 best balls of
the 4-some (the man can never score more than a bogie). The shotgun will start at
8:30 a.m. and end with a luncheon.
It is not too early to think about the Member/Guest Tournament, which is a 2-day
event on March 1 and 2. First-day play is practice and optional. Tee times are
available for a practice round. A cocktail party will follow outside by the pool. Plan
to attend the cocktail party even if you do not play the first day. The second day is
the official tournament. It will be an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. The game is two best
balls of the 4-some. There will be 2 gross prizes and 4 net prizes. The fees will be $
75 per person which includes: 1 practice round (plus cart fees applying for non-
members and those that do not have a cart lease), cocktail party, tournament day
play, luncheon, and many wonderful prizes. June Esposito has headed the tourney
for several years and has done an outstanding job organizing it and giving out
many great prizes. By the way, a guest can be any woman not belonging to TILGA.
She can be a Social Member or other Golf Member or a player outside our TICC
family, but the guest must have an established handicap which should be provided
to Steve. Watch for further details.
I hope many of you will participate in these wonderful events. Sign-up sheets will
be on the bulletin board in the Pro Shop.
Your TILGA President,
Monika Tandon
