We had a good turnout at our June meeting at Crow's Nest in Green Hills. We were excited to discuss our trip destinations. Miss this one? Join us next month at Bavarian Bierhaus in Opry Mills when we reveal all our 2022-23 trip details and start accepting sign-ups!

Our May 21st hike at Fiery Gizzard was a blast! We've got hikes scheduled for each month through October so be sure to join us!

Our May meeting was at Blue Moon Waterfront Grille. The weather cooperated and we enjoyed socializing and dining on the deck. We updated members about our upcoming hikes and gave a Save-The-Date reminder about our July membership meeting where we'll present all the details of our trips for next season. Missed this meeting? Join us next month at Crow's Nest in Green Hills on June 7th.

A few of us visited Myrtle Beach in late April where we enjoyed beautiful sunrises, mini-golf and Beach Olympics with members of other clubs from the Crescent Ski Council, a ski-industry trade show on Friday night and a Roaring 20s-themed party on Saturday night. If you missed out this year, make plans to join this annual event next year! You can find more pictures by clicking on the Photo Gallery page link in the blue menu bar above.

A majority of the delegation from Nashville joined with about 68 others from clubs around the southeast for a friendly ‘mini-golf’ competition. No golf clubs or golf balls were injured on this day. The mini golfers headed down the street for a great lunch on a covered deck overlooking the Intra-Coastal waterway. Others were at an 18-hole golf outing, playing tennis, or hanging at the beach.

On April 22nd we spent an evening learning to curl at Tee-Line Nashville. It took a little while to get the hang of it but everyone caught on before the end of the lesson. You can see more pictures in our Photo Gallery. Just click on the link in the blue menu bar above.

On April 9th we took part in the Nashville Outdoors Expo at Bells Bend. It was great to share our club with other outdoor enthusiasts. We also led a hike around the park. Stay tuned for our next outing!
