St, Patrick's Day is not only the holiday of corned beef, green beer and bar crawls but also the unofficial soft opening of the new Long Island golf season. A small handful of courses ring in the new year with holiday-themed outings when conditions allow, Mill Pond being one of them. Registration is currently open for a holiday scramble on Thursday, March 17.
Shotgun tee time is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. at the Medford course. The event will be a four-person scramble with prizes for the top three teams and winners of long-drive and closest-to-pin challenges. Entry fee is $84 and includes a post-round hot Irish buffet, draft beer, wine and soda.
Mill Pond events tend to fill up very quickly. Register by calling (631) 732-8249. Pre-payment is required, and there is no rain date — in the event of weather cancellation, all players will receive a full refund.
