Founders Society Event - 2009

Members enjoyed an "Evening by the Bay" at the Carnegie Abbey Club in July.  It began with a grilling demonstration by Carnegie's Executive Chief, Joseph Melamson.

Following a seaside buffet, Bill Harmon of the Harmon golfing family, shared his insights of the game, up close and personal.  Bill is nationally recognized as one of the game's top instructors.  His students include Billy Andrade, Jay and Bill Haas and Nicole Castrale.

Bill took the group "inside the ropes" with interesting stories and experiences from his many years caddying for Jay Haas.  He is a true ambassador of the game of golf.
