Farm Neck Foundation

Announces Island Gifts

The board of directors of the Farm Neck Foundation has announced $51,800 in annual charitable grants for 2007 to 13 Vineyard organizations and agencies.

The largest gift, $25,000, is a pledge toward the new YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard building.

Habitat for Humanity of Martha’s Vineyard will host its second annual hole-in-one and putting tournament at Farm Neck Golf Club, County Road, Oak Bluffs on Sunday, Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

This year the shot will be about 60 yards instead of 168. A cash prize will be offered.

Participants may take as many shots as they like, and as many trips around the putting course as they can handle without frustration. Clubs and balls will be provided for those who do not have their own.

As soon as you meet Jim Cornwell, the adoration he has for his
border collies is readily apparent. The baseball cap he wears is
decorated by a lively looking border collie, while his denim shirt bears
the insignia of Tash and Tama, the names of his two dogs.

After the Storm, Sledding Is Fine Sport from Farm Neck Fairways to
Tashmoo

By MAX HART

The snowdrifts near the tee box on the third hole at Farm Neck Golf
Club in Oak Bluffs are deep, very deep.

So deep, in fact, that they rise up past the waist of an
average-sized adult, a good three to four feet of snow. Trying to wade
through them is an exercise in absurdity; it's nearly impossible
to navigate without falling on your face.

Charles Harff sits at table in the Farm Neck Golf Club Cafe dressed to the nines - the back nines. He’s wearing a Martha’s Vineyard Hospital 2004 golf tournament polo, white shorts and a pair of semi-dress loafers. Tan from day on the links, with gray hair and an air of congeniality, he’s soft-spoken and unassuming.
