August 13, 2022 Dear Eden Club Members and Guests, Welcome to the 2022 Parent Child Tournament, our flagship family event!

After nearly a decade, we are pleased to return to Wisconsin and one of the finest golf resorts in the world: The American Cl ub, a Forbes Five Star Resort owned by Kohler. The Kohler Company operates three world - renowned golf resorts in Wisconsin and Scotland. Whistling Strai ts, composed of the Straits Course and the Irish Course, has hosted the PGA Championship three times, the U.S. Senior Open, and was the fi rst public course in over a quarter - century to host the Ryder Cup. Blackwolf Run, composed of the River Course and the Meadow Valleys Course, has hosted the U.S. Women ’ s Open twice. First up on the agenda is Blackwolf Run ’ s River Course. The River features targeted landing areas, large undulating greens, and water or gorges on 14 of the 18 holes for a challenging yet beautiful playing experience. Often an afterthought to sibling Whistling Straits, golfers should be aware — this course is a major venue in its own right. Memorable holes abound, such as the remarkable short par 4 9th; Cathedral Spir es with three legitimate options off the tee; and the handsome, if brutal, closing stretch of 16 – 18 that incorporates a twisting arm of the Sheboygan River. Day two offers the perfect place to loosen up before you play the Irish Course. The Baths of Blackwolf Run, designed by Chris Lutzke: a 10 - hole par 3 course and a two - acre putting course. The Baths sit adjacent to the first tee of the Meadow Valley course with 10 holes ranging in yardage fr om 60 to 160. In Round 2, Pete Dye will be found at every turn on the Irish Course including in his famous signature characteristics recogniza ble throughout the grounds in railroad ties, a spattering of two dozen bunkers on every hole, and a difficult 18th hole. The finale takes us to the Straits Course, host of the historic 2020 Ryder Cup. Pete Dye has manufactured a layout here that has an amazing links feel replicating the ancient seaside links courses in the UK and Ireland. With rugged fairways, wind - swept greens, and over 1,000 bunkers, this course is a stern test for the best in the game. Most would not expect to play their handicap, yet enjoy a great experience, especially on the 17th, a long par 3 teetering on the edge of the Lake Michigan with a bunker 25 feet below the left side of the green. You will find it hard to believe that you are in Wisconsin and not in Scotland. I would like to thank The American Club and Kohler staff for making this outing possible. I wish you well in this annual gath ering. Play well and enjoy your stay in Wisconsin.

Sincerely yours, Tom Lawrence Chairman Cell: (1) +441 505 1175 Email: tlawrence@theedenclub.com
