Maplewood Golf Newsletter



Greetings Golfers!

Before you know it, the 2012 golf season will be here.  Our early membership rates are in effect until March 15, 2012.  For those of you who wish to pay cash, drop of your cheque or would like more information; the clubhouse will be open from March 10th through March 15th 10 am - 3 pm. Application forms are available on under our Membership tab--just click on the link on that page.

Also in March is the new and improved Golf Altantic Expo.  For their 10th anniversary, the Expo will be moving to Casino New Brunswick.  We will again be participating and look forward to a great show.  It takes place Saturday, March 25 (9 am - 5 pm) and Sunday, March 26 (10 am - 5 pm).  For further information on the show you can visit their website at www.golfatlanticexpo.ca

Our Breast Cancer Awareness weekend will be held June 23/24th.  There will be various contests, draws, as well as our Ladies Golf Social.  Again this year we will be having our amazing clothing sale (both mens and ladies) with a portion of proceeds going to Breast Cancer.

As many of you are aware, we are redesigning the 16th hole.  If conditions permit, we are hoping to have the new layout open for play later in the season.  Once this phase is in play we will be able to continue with construction of a new improved 12th green.

2012 will be our 30th season at Maplewood and to celebrate we are working on making our Member Appreciation Week better than ever.  In conjunction with Member Appreciation Week we will also have 30 days of celebration for both members and green fee players who have supported us over the years.  Member appreciation week will take place August 6th to August 12th with our 30 days of celebration starting July 14th.

We would like to thank all the members who have volunteered their time to run programs, help with events and intall winter covers on the greens.  Your help is greatly appreciated and we thank you.

We look forward to seeing you at the Golf Expo and back at Maplewood for the 2012 season.

Our Roots

In 1927, Jens and Dagny Rasmussen emigrated from Denmark with $50 and no real knowledge of the English language. One of his first jobs was helping to build the original 9 holes at Lakeside Golf and Country Club. After that he purchased a farm in Irishtown, north of Moncton where he made his living at farming as he had done in Denmark, until his death in 1961. While still in high school, his grandson Dale drew up a layout for a golf course on the farm property. With his brothers Ken and Steve as well as their parents Harry and Etta they worked for 4 years and opened a 9 hole course in 1983. Changes and improvements continued with 18 holes opening in 1995.
