We are hosting a unique fundraising golf event and dog walk-a-thon where you get to BRING YOUR DOGS TO THE GOLF COURSE!! All proceeds donated to Helping Hounds Dog Rescue! The event will be held on Friday June 26, 2020. Why the event is called the G.E.M. Memorial: PGA Professional and Co-owner of Sunset Ridge Golf Club, Andy Myers lost his mother Gayle E. Myers (G.E.M.) in December of 2018. The two things that made her the happiest near the end of her life were her 4 dachshunds and knowing that the family owned a golf course. This annual event at Sunset Ridge in her honor will help the animals she loved so much. Andy also adopted his beagle, Chance, from Helping Hounds in 2018 and since his dogs love to go out on the course with him, we thought it would be great to have a day where other golfers get to enjoy the course and company of their pets too. Please join us for a great day and this great cause! New Full Time Staff Bios and Pics We are happy to introduce and welcome both Chef Rose Thompson and Assistant Golf Professional Michael Carter to the Sunset Ridge team. Chef Rose Thompson returns to Sunset Ridge Golf Club for the 2020 season but this time as our new Executive Chef. Rose has worked with us since 2018 and we welcome her to this new and exciting role. Rose has already revamped our restaurant and banquet menus and her fish frys this summer are not to be missed! Chef Rose has grown from humble beginnings. She was exposed to a wide range of cultural backgrounds in her childhood and credits her culinary range to the many teachers who welcomed her into their kitchens throughout her life. Rose loves creating special dishes that bring back fond memories of those experiences. Her greatest inspiration has drawn from a woman, affectionately named “Grandma Lee”. Grandma Lee taught her how flavors can work together and they spent many days experimenting with new flavors and traditional recipes to make them even better! These experiences led Rose to pursue a new career in the culinary arts. She earned her degree in Culinary Management from Onondaga Community College. Rose has combined her love of cooking with her love of fishing and hunting to create award winning fish and game dishes in the CNY area. She is a member of the American Culinary Federation and is currently working on achieving certified status. Rose is excited for the coming season and looks forward to meeting everyone! Sunset Ridge is proud to welcome Michael Carter as our new Assistant Professional. Michael, who resides in Owasco, N.Y. brings a broad amount of experience to Sunset Ridge.
