PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This week we welcomed Trent Morse, President of the 2020 Jacksonville Host Committee as he spoke to us of the upcoming RNC. Mr. Morse pointed out the economic impact this will have on our community, as well as the excellent selling point a successful RNC in our city will be for future conventions and large events. Community involvement is very important for this event and volunteers are needed! If you are interested in one of the many volunteer opportunities, please visit  https://jacksonville2020.com/

MONTHLY GOLF OUTING

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at Hyde Park Golf Club!

They're not making them like Hyde Park Golf Club anymore. Located in Jacksonville, Florida visitors can play virtually the same course that was designed by the legendary Scottish architect Donald Ross in 1925.

The gorgeous Southern pines and Spanish oaks that line the course are even more mature and majestic than they were 80 years ago that lend's a special aura to the playing experience. Since the layout has not changed, you can play the same course and face the same shot-making decisions as the legends of the game.
