Free outing postponed

By: centraljersey.com
TRENTON The free day of golf traditionally offered on New Year’s Day by the Mercer County Park Commission has been postponed due to snow.
The Park Commission will reschedule the free day of golf for later in the New Year when weather permits.
A date has not yet been determined.
For the past 11 years, the Mercer County Park Commission has been proud to offer the free day of golf on New Year’s Day as a show of appreciation to all Mercer County golf card holders.
"A round of golf is a terrific way to usher in a new decade for many of our local golfers who’ve adopted this fun tradition," Park Commission Executive Director Kevin Bannon said in a statement.
Mercer Oaks East and West in West Windsor, Mountain View in Ewing, and Princeton Country Club in West Windsor were scheduled to be open, weather permitting. Both Mercer Oaks and Mountain View courses will accept automated advanced tee times by phone or Internet reservation for those individuals who have renewed their resident membership cards for 2011; 2010 cards will be accepted for the free play day, but those residents must either call the course of their choice directly for a reservation, or simply walk-on on the determined date.
The first tee time at all courses is 8 a.m., frost permitting.
