TO ALL MEMBERS

As a friendly reminder in the Miles Grant Rules & Regulations, page

#10 Dining Room Policies:

1. Dinner Reservations – Reservations are encouraged, and can be

made by either telephone, email to fbmanager@milesgrant.net, in

person in the front office, or by filling out a reservation form and

dropping it in the reservation box. When making reservations please

provide members names. Also if members are bringing guests we will

need their names as well, and upon arrival the guests will need to sign

a Guest Book and leave their address.

2. Cancellations – A 24 hour cancellation notice is required for large

functions and ALL SOCIAL functions. Cancellations made inside of 24

hours will be subject to a “No Show” fee.

It is very important to cancel reservations far enough in advance so we

can adjust the front of the house schedule, dining room diagram and

keep the kitchen informed.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter so we can better serve

you.

Fairway Ladies Our Fairway Ladies WGA 9 Invitational was held January 24 and was

attended by 76 players. Rain prevented us from playing golf.

However, there was a Plan B prepared and Peg Ansboro did a great

job of running the Bingo event. Everyone had a lot of fun and several

ladies from other clubs expressed an interest in joining our league

this summer. Norma Rumbaugh and Betty Weed and her helpers

worked hard to put together an invitational that was a great success

in spite of the weather. Thanks to all of our Miles Grant WGA18

golfers who supported our invitational.

On January 31, together with our WGA 18, we had a pizza buffet

and rules seminar. Bob Hunter went over some of the new rules and

answered many questions members had regarding the changes to the

2019 Golf Rules.

Coming up is our Club Championship. First round is March 19 and

final round and lunch is March 21. Be sure to bring your “A “Game.

COVE READERS

WGA18 News It seems no one emphasizes the importance of stretching exercises before golf. This can be a PAIN IN THE NECK. Several golfers I know

complain about it (the pain in the neck that is). It’s called the LEVITOR muscle and stretches from the shoulder up into the back of the

neck. Light stretching exercises prior to golf may help this. Also, flexing the arms may prevent tennis elbow. Tennis players don’t have a

monopoly on this though. HIT ‘EM STRAIGHT

Joanie Robbins, Pres/Tres.

PEG ANSBRO REPORTS: The Battle of the

Sexes was held on Saturday, February 23rd.

See the newsletter next month for the

results. The March Tennis Brunch will be

held on Sunday, March 10th at 11:00 in the

Miles Grant dining room. It is open to all

tennis members and their spouses.

Remember to set your clocks ahead because

it is the first day of Daylight Savings Time.

The women's tennis team just finished their

first half and is ranked in the middle of the

pack. There is very tough competition this

season among the eleven teams. Our team

will be in Flight II in Round II. We are grateful

for Dave Coutts' guidance and great clinics.

As always, Dave is available for lessons to all

our members and guests. Besides tennis, he

also teaches bocce and pickleball. Dave can

be reached at…. couttstennis@gmail.com or

at (410) 980- 6222. I must also give special

thanks to Jim Brown for his wonderful

photographic coverage of all tennis events.

Come on down and enjoy the new courts. I

play Cinderella tennis. Sometimes I don’t

make it to the ball!! I just Love, Love,

Love!!!

PETER HAUTH REPORTS: Half the season

of our B-2 Tennis League is behind us and we

are above 50% in our Won-Lost category.

This is not great but satisfactory. This has

been the wettest tennis season that we’ve

encountered. So far we had THREE rainouts

and we are only half through the schedule!

This year our league stands on its head! Last

years’ last place team is now leading the

league. Last year we won 10 - 0 against them

this year we LOST 10 - 0! Our morning

tennis continues well with many players, so

many in fact, that our Pro Dave sometimes

has to chase us off his court.

MIKE PISANO REPORTS: The Treasure

Coast Senior Men’s Tennis League is at the

halfway point in the season. We have one

rainout to make up against North River

Shores Tennis Club. We won our first two

matches against Monarch Country Club’s A

and B teams. We swept the maximum eight

sets in each match. The following week was

the rainout and then in week four we lost a

close match 6-5 at Mariner Sands. This past

week we beat Buttonwood 5-4 in a match

that was transferred from Miles Grant to

Buttonwood due to wet courts after a brief

downpour. We continue to win more than

70% of the sets played giving us a real good

chance of winning the league championship

for a third consecutive year.

Mah Jongg lessons will be offered at the Club in March on

Wednesday and Friday. Probable starting time 1 p.m. If you

would like to learn or be refreshed on this fun tile game, call

Mary Moody at 772-834-4473.

Commemorative Bricks!

We are selling commemorative bricks.
