On April 26, The Florida Chapter of the Shivas Irons Society kicked off its activities with a day of camaraderie and golf at The PGA Golf Club in Port St Lucie. After an introduction of the Society by Florida organizers Bob Sabin and Auke Hempenius and a few Shivas inspired tips by PGA Golf Club GM Bob Baldassari, the group enjoyed 18 holes on the Pete Dye course.
Given the links type lay-out, the Dye course was a very appropriate venue for the SIS Florida Chapter Charter event. Afterwards the group visited the Historical museum for some Chivas Regal and expertly prepared hors d'oeuvres. The entire group received the Shivas Journal, the highly acclaimed periodical published by the Society.
The Florida chapter will host several events throughout the year and is in discussion with LPGA International for a Shivas Irons women's event and Sugerloaf Mountain for a Central Florida Shivas Irons event.

Great goin' guys... Nice to see things off and running in the Sunshine State.
You know country club membership tends to be self-selective and people often choose to join clubs where they can associate with people from similar socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
