A Message from the Managing Director |
Dear I hope all of you enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving this past week and you were able to spend time with your friends and family! I would also like to thank you for your contribution to the Liberty National employee fund. Those funds will be distributed to our non-executive team next week to help them prepare for the holidays. If you have not had a chance to contribute yet, it's not too late! Simply send us an email with an amount you wish to contribute and we can put it on your member account. As another reminder, we would like to get as many members as possible to sign up for the ACH payment processing for your dues and/or monthly charges. This will be more convenient for you, as well as us, in processing payments. If you need the information again, please let us know and we will send it to you. As we turn the page on the 2016 golf season, and on behalf of the Fireman family and our team here at Liberty National Golf Club, I want to thank you for your support throughout the season and we wish you the happiest and healthiest holidays ahead. We have an exciting new year in 2017 to look forward to in hosting the Presidents Cup! Sincerely, Derek A. Sprague, PGA Managing Director |

Agronomy Announcement |
As the 2016 golf season comes to an end, we would like to thank everyone who has enjoyed the Club and played golf this year. Our agronomic conditions throughout the course are in great shape to end the season. We recently completed the fall aerification with an additional sand top dressing to help protect the surfaces through the winter months. I hope the conditions and playability of the course throughout the season were enjoyable and challenging for you and your guests. We are looking forward to the 2017 season with Liberty hosting the Presidents Cup in September and providing our members and the PGA TOUR Professionals with a wonderful golfing experience. Once again, the Agronomy department would like to thank you and wish you and your families a happy holiday season. Sincerely, Greg James Golf Course Superintendent |

The Torch 2016 |
September 9th
8:00 a.m. & September 10th 9:00am
Liberty
National's premier member tournament of the year! Round Robin Match Play within
flights, six teams per flight with each team consisting of one member and one
guest. Flights are assigned by combined handicap. Flight winners
advance to the championship playoff after the completion of matches.
The Torch is one of our most
popular events. To ensure fairness for this year’s sign-up, we have
implemented the following priority system for determining the field after
the application process:
1.) Applications open
Saturday, July 9th at 9:00 a.m.
2.) Applications
close on Saturday, July 16th at 5:00 p.m.
3.) Based on
the applicants, the field of 60 teams of 2 that signed up will be entered based
on the following criteria:
Criteria #1: The number of years you played in The
Torch in the past 4 years (i.e. someone who has played 3 out of 4 years will
have priority over someone who has only played in 2 out of 4 years)
Criteria #2: The members’ original date of entry
into Liberty National Golf Club (i.e. someone who became a member in 2007 will
have priority over someone who became a member in 2012)
Criteria #3: The number of events played in
2016. We have had 5 events thus far in 2016. (i.e. someone who
played in 3 events will have priority for the Torch compared to someone who has
only played in one event this year).
Criteria #4: In the event of a tie based on
the above criteria, whoever signs up first out of the tied teams will have
priority over the other team. Don’t wait to sign up!
4.) We will
create an alternate list of teams over the maximum of 60 and we will
follow the same criteria outlined above.
5.) We will
notify teams on July 17th to inform your team if you are in the
field or an alternate.
Thank you for your
understanding with this new registration process for the Torch.

A Note from the Managing Director |
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful July 4th weekend with the exception of some rain on the evening of the 4th! A few events to highlight this month: We have rescheduled the Women’s Member-Guest scheduled for next week to September 14th. With the PGA Championship being played at nearby Baltusrol Golf Club the week of July 25th, we will no doubt have a busy week here with members bringing guests to the Club. Please contact the Club to make your plans as far in advance as possible. On Tuesday July 26th, PGA Magazine is hosting a cocktail party at the Club beginning at 5:30. On Wednesday July 27th, Bon Appetit and the PGA of America are hosting a “Champions of the Course” Culinary event presented by Chase Sapphire Preferred. This event begins at 7:00pm. A limited number of tickets have been allocated to our members for this event at no charge. Please contact Nicole at [email protected] to reserve your ticket. Attire is country club casual/Jacket Optional. This event will require the use of the entire clubhouse; therefore, food and beverage service will be very limited beginning at 5:30 p.m. Please plan accordingly. I look forward to seeing you at the Club soon!
