The boards were out and the bags were flying this past Sunday, February 15, for our latest Cornhole Tournament. We couldn't have asked for better conditions; the weather was absolutely perfect, topped off with a gentle breeze that kept the competition cool even as the matches heated up.
With 21 teams hitting the court, the bracket was packed with talent. It was a day of high-stakes tosses and impressive airmail shots, with the final matches stretching into the afternoon. After hours of hard-fought play, the tournament officially wrapped up around 2:30 PM.
Meet the Champions
A huge shoutout to everyone who participated and made the day so energetic. However, two teams managed to slide their way to the top of the podium:
- First Place: Congratulations to Larry and Chris Drury for a spectacular performance and taking home the top spot!
- Second Place: A round of applause for Dave and Chris Bristow, who fought through a tough field to secure second place.

Thank you to all 42 players who came out to compete. Whether you were hitting "four-baggers" or just enjoying the Sunday sun, you made this event a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one, start practicing those tosses!

Today, the sun shone down on the Motorcoach Resort SLW course with a perfect high of 77 degrees—a fitting backdrop for the inaugural The Clacker Classic. After a week delay due to the winter chill, 48 players gathered not just for the thrill of the game, but to honor the memory of a man who truly defined our community spirit: Charlie Burch.
The "clack" of the ball was accompanied by laughter, shared cookies, and even a few tears as neighbors took turns speaking about how Charlie touched their lives. Between the competitive rounds, players paused to view photos of Charlie and visit the newly dedicated memorial bench. Seeing the plaque, “In Loving Memory Charlie Burch,” served as a beautiful reminder that while he may no longer be on the course with us, his presence is felt in every handshake and every game played.
On the competitive side, the play was intense! We are proud to announce our first-ever Clacker Classic champions:
- 1st Place: Serge Desforges
- 2nd Place: Keith Sobol
- 3rd Place: Milton Saba
It was a perfect day to kick off a new tradition. Thank you to everyone who came out to play, share a story, and make this first tournament so meaningful. We look forward to seeing the "Clacker Classic" grow, keeping Charlie’s memory, and others, alive through the game he loved so much.

Have you been wondering how the Property Improvement Committee (“PIC”) is coming along with the Long Term Plan for improvements to our Resort? Well, we thought the best way to communicate about the history of the Long Term Plan, current initiatives and progress, and future prospects was to provide a webpage dedicated to all things Long Term Planning!
It is also located under the RESORT NEWS > MCRSLW LONG RANGE PLANNING on our main webpage.
Through regular Palm Post installments, we aim to provide you with reminders to check the webpage for detailed information regarding current discussions with the architect and designer and proposals for both shorter and longer-term improvements that coordinate and complement the long-term plan, and plans for upcoming meetings with the owners to share information and obtain input.

The sun went down, but the energy went way up last night as we hosted our 3rd Annual Glow Golf event! On January 10, the course was transformed from a traditional green into a "luminescent lunacy" wonderland, and the results were nothing short of magical.
A New Way to Play
This year, the Sponsors and Committee took things to the next level. Thanks to their hard work, the course featured brand-new lighted flagsticks, tee markers, and hazard markers, creating a neon-lit path through all eighteen holes.
The real stars of the show, however, were the golf balls. As they soared through the night sky, they looked like shooting stars, a sight that had everyone, from seasoned pros to casual "night owls," cheering from the fairway.
The festivities officially kicked off at 6:30 PM sharp with a synchronized blast from the air-horns, signaling the shotgun start and sending a wave of excitement across the grounds.
Keeping the Momentum Moving
With such a fantastic turnout, we expanded the play to utilize both the front and back nines. This required some serious coordination, and we want to give a huge shout-out to our shuttle drivers! These volunteers worked tirelessly to move players to their starting holes and navigate the transitions between holes 9 to 1 and 18 to 10. Their efforts kept the "luminescent lunacy" flowing smoothly and ensured everyone stayed on track for a great night of golf.
Hospitality at Every Turn
No great event is complete without refreshments, and our sponsors and neighbors truly stepped up to the plate.
- The clubhouse was stocked with beer, soda, and water to keep everyone hydrated.
- The roaming "beverage" cart made its rounds throughout the night, ensuring no one went thirsty between holes.
- A huge thank you to the owners who set up "happy hour" stations at their casitas and tikis! These stops added a wonderful sense of community and extra cheer to the evening’s festivities.
Our Sincere Thanks
An event of this scale wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our community partners. A massive shout-out to our sponsors:
- WilDar Golf Carts
- LangRealty - Linnie Luoma, PA
Thank you for helping us turn a night of golf into an unforgettable experience. Whether you were there for the competition or just the glow-in-the-dark vibes, it’s clear that this tradition is brighter than ever.
See you all next year under the neon sky!
