<li><strong>Favorite hole at your course:</strong> <em>No. 17: &#8220;A challenging par-5 with water on the left and right sides of the fairway. There&#8217;s also water in front of the green, with a bunker guarding the front and back of the green. If you hit a long drive, you can potentially reach the green in two, but if you can&#8217;t, the challenging layup shot is narrow.&#8221;</em></li>



<li><strong>Favorite thing about your course or club:</strong> <em>&#8220;The </em>&#8216;<em>19th Hole</em>,&#8217;<em> also known at the Toasted Tee is a great opportunity to grab some beverages and food before, during, or after the round! ; The food is delicious and the beverages always help with your golf swing!&#8221;</em></li>



<li><strong>Strangest request from a customer:</strong> <em>&#8220;A customer wanted as many sand bottles as possible to fill divots on the course. ;He was a single scheduled to play in the afternoon and wanted extra sand bottles as he waited on groups in front of him.&#8221;</em></li>



<li><strong>CRAZIEST thing that has ever happened at your course:</strong> <em>&#8220;The LPGA Tour hosted a tour event at Wachesaw East for four consecutive years from 1997 to 2000. ;Meg Mallon still holds the course record of 10 under par (62)!&#8221;</em></li>
