👋 Hey NCC golfers,

This week's issue comes with some goodies.

I partnered with 2 local golf organizations to bring you exclusive offers you won't find anywhere else.

Plus we're launching something I've been wanting to do for a while!

A survey that gives you a direct voice with the people who run our local courses.

Check it all out here, and send me any questions you have by replying to this email.

Cheers!

(2 Free Stamps, Compliments of NCC Golf Report)

Rock Manor just launched the Fairway Futbol Rewards program, running June 8th through July 19th, and NCC Golf Report readers get a head start.

Here's how it works:

Pick up a free passport form at the Rock Manor pro shop and start collecting stamps.

Earn a stamp for playing a round or purchasing featured food specials. You can collect up to 3 stamps from either playing or purchasing food per week (6 stamps max per week).

Rewards Breakdown ⬇️

The more stamps you collect, the bigger the reward. There are some legit rewards too, and this is something no other course is currently doing.

*Redemption opens July 20th and runs through August 10th.

As an NCC Golf Report reader, you get 2 free bonus stamps just for reading this report! Download your voucher below and present it at the Rock Manor pro shop to claim them.

(Limited Redemptions Available — White Clay Creek CC & Ed Oliver)

Twilight Golf League is offering NCC Golf Report readers free registration for two NCC leagues this summer. Normally $49 to register.

Two 9-hole leagues available:

White Clay Creek CC: Thursdays, June 18-23 Tee times available 5-6pm. $40 for 9 holes.

Ed Oliver: Tuesdays, June 16-21 Tee times available 4:30-6pm. $35 with cart, $25 walking.

I joined the White Clay Creek league myself. A guaranteed tee time on a weeknight at one of NCC's most talked-about courses right now. Hard to beat.

There are limited spots available for both leagues so I’m running this offer on a first come, first served. Once they're gone, they're gone.

(Your Voice, Straight to the Courses)

This one is for every NCC golfer who has ever wanted to tell a course exactly what they think.

I'm launching a short anonymous survey this week and sharing the results directly with course owners and managers across New Castle County. No names. No filters. Just honest feedback from real local golfers about what's working, what isn't, and what would make you play more.

Your courses want to serve you better. This is how you tell them how.

Takes less than 5 minutes. 100% anonymous. I’d really appreciate you taking the time to complete it.

This is just the start. I'm always looking for ways to bring you something useful. Not just news, but actual value you can use the next time you tee it up in NCC.

Quick question before we get into this week's course updates:

125th Anniversary Tournament

125th Anniversary Community Day

⛳️ On the conditions side: The agronomy team recently sliced the fairways to break up soil compaction and improve drainage. It also helps deepen grass roots heading into summer.

🎆 Night Golf is June 12th and spots are still available. 8:15pm shotgun, 9 holes walking, $55. Book it before it sells out - Link

⛳️ Sod work is complete on the hole 18 and hole 3 tee box expansions. Both are open and ready to play.

🎸 Live music this Thursday June 11th from 6-9pm featuring Currie Wayne Clayton. If you haven’t been to a Back Creek concert yet this year, this is your sign to go.

🏌️‍♀️ The “Nine and Done” Friday League has officially kicked off with tee times running 4-5pm. Contact the pro shop to get in.

🚜 A new greens roller is arriving this week and the final batch of new carts lands Wednesday. The operational rebuild at St. Anne's is moving fast. The course that was struggling two months ago looks completely different right now.

👍 I played there this past Sunday and was genuinely impressed. The course is in good shape and the experience felt completely different from where things stood a few months ago. The cart girl made it around to me three times in one round also. I may have had a little too much fun out there, but I digress.

✅ Sod installation is complete on the fairway areas that suffered winter kill this spring. The course is filling back in nicely.

One more thing: Garrisons Lake is running a raffle on a US Open Srixon staff bag. $10 per square, only 40 squares available. Check their Facebook page to grab one before they're gone.

🎶 Live music Friday June 12th from 7-10pm featuring Bleech.

🎤 Music Bingo and Karaoke Saturday June 13th from 7-10pm. Good off-course option if you're in the area.

‼️ New hours are now in effect:

🏌Youth Golf Instruction is also running this summer at $75 per session - Link

Hello, fellow New Castle County golf lovers.

One of the perks of writing this weekly newsletter is speaking with course owners and operators every week.

Many of them told me directly that they want more feedback, they’re listening, and they care about giving local golfers a better product.

The survey in this week’s issue is your chance to meet them halfway. It’s anonymous, takes less than 5 minutes, and I’m putting the results directly in front of the people who run you local courses.

Take the survey. Share this issue with every NCC golfer you know.

The more voices we have, the more useful this becomes. For you, and for the courses we play every week.

😊 Thank you for reading, and as always, I’ll see you out there! ⛳️
