Free Golf in Pocomoke City?
Pocomoke City residents received a special bonus with their July Water Bills this year-a free round of golf! That’s right, imprinted on their July Water Bill is a coupon worth 18-holes of golf at Winter Quarter’s Golf Course in Pocomoke City.
“We wanted to do something special for our citizens this year and draw attention to a city recreational resource at the same time”, said Pocomoke City Mayor Michael A. McDermott. The coupon is good for a round of golf anytime through the end of October.
The city wants to highlight the course for citizens who may not have played it in awhile. They are also looking to build up membership in the course and increase the number of rounds played on a daily basis.
The recently hired Golf Superintendent, Doug Gunns, has been working with his staff to insure the course remains in prime playing condition throughout the summer season. Many changes and upgrades are in store for the course including new cart paths and better defined fairways. The recent focus on drainage issues in the spring has improved course conditions and everyone is commenting on how nice the greens are playing.
In addition to the July coupon, the Mayor and Council also agreed to cut rates for play as an additional incentive to encourage folks to visit the course. The coupons are fully transferable, so even if the property owner does not play, they can give the coupon to a friend or family member so they can enjoy a round.
The city believes that once you have played the course, you’ll come back again.

WBOC is doing a news clip on this tonight.
This is a very nice gesture on the part of the city. I personally am not a golfer, but I have a Brother in law who visits from time to time, maybe he can enjoy it. This is the type of positive image that helps promote good will between city government and it's citizens.
