Thanks for the excellent story by Steve Marantz on golf clubs, “Why tee time at Salem’s Kernwood Country Club isn’t just for Jews anymore,” in the Dec. 23 Jewish Journal. As a “seasoned” vet of 36 plus years at Kernwood, I have seen quite a bit of change … the big plus remains the magnificent golf course maintained by John Eggleston and his staff, and the Pro Staff headed by Frank Dully for over 35 years!

The spectacular views; the changing winds and the speedy greens make for great times for all … no matter the religion.
