Closing Letter from Craig Cupido
10 DEC 2024
With the closure of the course, I reflect on the year that was and immediately begin preparing for 2025.
To give some data for 2024, RattleSnake was open for 211 days which was seven more than 2023 due to a warmer fall.
The rounds played are just over 78,000 which is up 2.2% compared to 2023. Member and Member Guest play accumulated 54.3% of rounds, Interclub and Interclub Guest 40.4% and corporate events equals 5.2% of total play.
RattleSnake will close the season with a full membership capacity of 900.
I would like to thank our Men’s committee and Captain Dan Colagiacomo for all their tireless work and welcome Paul Mann, your 2025 Men’s Captain and Otto Trozzolo as your Men’s Vice Captain. Thank you to Brian Gore, Steven Sotnick and the handicap committee. Howie Wark, your Senior Men’s Captain, and Rob Stapleford as your Senior Men’s Vice Captain.
