ARMY NAVY COUNTRY CLUB OCTOBER 2021 E-NEWSLETTER

ANCC FOUNDATION DID YOU KNOW? Bunker-less Golf Course The original ANCC Arlington golf course was designed and constructed by Major Richard D. Newman. The first nine holes opened on September 1, 1928, and the second nine in the summer of 1929. One unique feature of this course was the total lack of bunkers. To learn Newman’s rationale for this configuration and when/if bunkers were ever added, click here.

Join us for an Author Series event with Lisa Smith Molinari author of “The Meat and Potatoes of Life.” This is a humorous memoir of an attorney who becomes a navy wife and at-home mom. Somewhere between “I do” and “deploying again,” waves of chaos threaten to overtake her. She has a husband who knows his chardonnay but can’t identify a Phillips-head screwdriver, three quirky kids with their own agendas, a perpetually-shedding dog, and a minivan full of cold french fries. Will she survive the endless minutia of modern family life, or will she end up on the laundry room floor eating chocolate frosting out of a can?

Wednesday, 17 November 7:00 PM in the 5 Star Ballroom $28 per person Registration opens October 20 @ noon
