Message From the Professional Staff,
Good Afternoon,
With a busy weekend behind us (650 rounds played Saturday - Monday) we are now setting our sights on the coming weeks and getting our plans in place for a return to some normalcy. We anticipate being able to provide a full member events calendar and will look forward to a communication from our 2021 Games Committee in early June outlining this season plans. Today’s message is a short one as there is a lot of great info below that we want to focus on. That said, one quick reminder for today - please ensure you are replacing divots and repairing ball marks on the greens. If you don’t have a divot too, we have them available in the shop for a low member price of $7.00 plus HST. If you don’t wish to buy one, a golf tee works as a great alternative. There is really no excuse for not fixing a ball mark this early in the season. Let’s do our part to help keep our greens in great shape.
For those interested in new clubs in 2021, you will want to read on to the bottom of this newsletter as we are opening up appointments for fitting days with Cobra (THIS FRIDAY, May 28th), Titleist (THIS SATURDAY, May 29th) and Taylormade (Saturday, June 12th).
On behalf of the Professional Staff,
Dan Roud

JUNIOR GOLF CLUBS & APPAREL
Have a junior golfer in your family? Know a kid looking to get into the game? For the first time, we are thrilled to partner with Cobra/Puma on a line of Jr. Apparel for boys & girls as well as Jr. Packaged Golf sets which are available for rental or purchase through our Golf Gives Back Program. More information will be coming in the next few weeks about how you can support Junior Golf - both here at Lookout Point and through the Golf Gives Back team. In the meantime, you can find some images below of our boys & girls apparel as well as a link to our online store to view the in-stock Junior clubs available for sale.
Daily Sidewalk Flash Sales
Since you can’t come to us and browse and shop right now, we thought we would bring the shop to you. Each day, look for a NEW Flash sidewalk sale behind the 1st tee. Here you will find great daily promotions on many of the new products and lines we will be carrying in 2021.

Men’s Senior Ryder Cup
If you are 55 years of age or older (as of June 2021) and are looking for an opportunity to compete in an elite senior competition, we want you to consider joining our 2021 Senior Ryder Cup team. The Senior Ryder Cup was created in 1999 to provide a forum for senior male golfers who enjoy competitive team match play. Since its inception the SRC has grown from 4 clubs in 1999 to at present - 167. It is a non-profit organization and is mentored by a Board of volunteers whose Mission statement is: Provide and maintain an energetic and competitive match play format for senior male golfers and promote camaraderie and professionalism in senior golf activities in Ontario and surrounding areas.
The Lookout Point Team will be competing this year in the Barry Patterson Division with match dates scheduled for Willodel Golf Club of Niagara (June 22nd), Greystone Golf Club (June 29th), Lookout Point Country Club (July 6th) & King’s Forest Golf Club (July 12th). If you are interested in more information including the qualification process, please email team captain Doug Piett directly at doug7722@hotmail.com.
FITTING DAYS
We know many members have been anxious to try the newest clubs from our partners and vendors. We scrambled a bit when we got the news we could re-open and have been able to book a number of fitting days upcoming in June. We released our Callaway day (June 6th) in last week’s newsletter, which is now sold out. Don't wait to sign up for the next three dates below.
Note: These are not “demo” days. These are fitting appointments for individuals who are ready to make a purchase but want to experience a custom fit in order to ensure that their clubs are designed especially for their swing and physical attributes.

TITLEIST FITTING DAY
Saturday, May 29th (9:00 am - 4:00 pm)
