Letter to the Editor: Enjoying Putnam Golf Club

Dear Editor,

I have been a resident of Mahopac since 2005. My wife lived here most of her life and we have two daughters, Isabella and Grace, who attend Austin Road School.

I wanted to take a moment and thank County Executive MaryEllen Odell for all of her hard work and support in revitalizing Putnam County Golf Course. It’s good to see our tax dollars working to renovate aspects of our community that make living in Mahopac special.

From the complete overhaul of the parking lot to all the improvements in and around the golf course, I decided to take advantage of the full season membership and have absolutely no regrets. It was a fantastic year playing golf at Putnam County Golf Course.

But the real reason for my letter is to thank her for supporting Putnam County Golf Course as a center for community events. It is a pleasure to see the hundreds of Mahopac residents who come and support the golf course for Friday night dinner events during the summer. At one event, there must have been over 1,100 people who attended. I can’t tell you how many of my friends and family talk about the Friday Night dinners at the golf course and most importantly, most of them are NON-golfers.

At the same time, I attended the United Way’s Putnam County’s Best Chefs and Fine Wines on September 21 as a representative of M&T Bank. This is just one more example of how her support to renovate the catering facility at the golf course draws business to our community.

Keep up the great work and thank you for supporting what’s most important about Mahopac and Putnam County, the people.

Sincerely,

Michael Picciano

Mahopac, N.Y.
