Welcome George Cain

The Stockbridge Country Club is George’s first venture into country club membership.  Living nearby the Club and passing it on a regular basis acted somewhat as a magnet towards the opportunity to play more golf in the hope that more golf could lead to better golf.  Time will tell, but he is not taking bets on that end result.  When not spending time trying to be a better golfer, George enjoys his work as a realtor and business consultant.

Welcome Brian, Leigh, Drake & Evelyn Dolby

The Dolby’s are proud to be joining Stockbridge Golf Club as we have deep roots in the Berkshires for many generations.  Brian, Leigh, Drake (12), and Evelyn (10) reside in Franklin, MA now, but enjoy spending time in the Berkshires with their family in the summertime mainly at Lake Buel.  Brian and Leigh’s story is deeply entangled in the Berkshires as they got engaged at Tanglewood and married at Cranwell.  Brian plays in both the Wyantenuck and Stockbridge 4Ball tournaments each year and so deeply appreciates being a small part of the lasting traditions and strong heritage this community offers. 
 
In addition to playing a round of golf together, the Dolby family enjoys skiing and cheering on their children at the Lacrosse & Field Hockey fields.  They look forward to meeting more members and playing as much golf as their hectic schedules allow!
