This week’s show had a local focus as we had special guests, Mike Cummings, PGA Head Professional from Capri Isles Golf Club and Ross Hanson from the West Florida Am Tour.

meet-Cummings_MikeCapri Isles is one of three courses owned by the Golf In Venice group and really is one of Venice’s best golf experiences.  I had the chance to play there on Friday and couldn’t have had a better afternoon. The greens are PERFECT, meaning that birdies were dropping left and right, but don’t be fooled! From the back tees (playing about 6600 yards) Capri Isles is a demanding test of golf and with water in play on every single hole, !  Head Golf Professional, Mike Cummings has been on staff for over twenty years and he and his staff do a fabulous job!  Coming up in December, Capri Isles is hosting the 41st Annual Crest Cadillac of Venice Men’s Best Ball Championship on December 5-6th.  This two day event features incredible prizes and competition and even a chance to drive home a brand new Cadillac!  To register, call (941) 485-3371 or visit www.GolfInVenice.com
