It’s the obvious way to develop a social life.’’
At a recent Monday night dinner at the club, it
was apparent the members really enjoy each other’s
company. Among the three tables there was lively
discussion and outbreaks of raucous laughter.
“They are really nice people,” said bartender Alex
Eric of the Monday Couples. “They care about the
club and the staff. They definitely know how to have
a good time.”
In the early years the group ate at a different
restaurant every Monday, but for the past two years
they have settled into a regimen of dinner each week
at the club. Outside adventures have included boat
trips, ball games, and weekend golf trips to Naples,
Orlando, Tampa and St. Augustine.
The group also devotes itself to raising money for
charities. Last year the Monday Couples at PGA
Country Club donated more than $6,500 to Mustard
Seed, Treasure Coast Food Bank, Boys and Girls
