A Special Message From Stephen Karig...
“I would first like to thank the Richter Park Men’s Club Board for their great job. Secondly, I deeply thank the entire Richter Park Men’s Club for the opportunity to sponsor the season-long cup event which will be named the ‘MDK CUP’ in memory of my son Michael. A little over 5 years ago, in 2018, my son Michael passed away. The love and support I received from my fellow golfers meant the world to me, my wife, and my family. It is for this reason that I would like to return that support to the men’s club by sponsoring the MDK CUP beginning next season. THANK YOU TO ALL MY FELLOW GOLFERS!”
Course Stewardship
Don Carter led an initiative to "give back to the course" rounding up volunteers to fix divots on tee boxes and fairways and repair ball marks on greens. Unfortunately, on RPMC event days it's apparent that some don't bother to replace their own divots and fix ball marks. Please do your part to maintain the course in the best shape it can be. Take the sand/seed bottle with you to the fairway and just fix a few ball marks on the green. Even if your game is off a bit for the day at least feel good about making the course look great!
