Congratulations to the members of the Elite Junior Golf Program at Chelsea Piers on their performance in yesterday’s exhibition match vs. the Mosholu Junior Golf Program! The programs competed in a fourball matchplay at the Mosholu Golf Course in the Bronx, with four groups of two from each side pairing up against the opposing side. Despite the rain, everyone played well & enjoyed the time on the course and the match ended in a draw, with both sides winning two matches. This was the third match Chelsea Piers Elite Juniors have played against Mosholu over the past two years, and a fourth match is already scheduled for next fall.

The "Reach for the Sky Rink All Stars," Sky Rink's longest running artistic ensemble team has qualified to compete at the U.S. Showcase Competition in Theatrical Skating. The competition will be held from August 1st through August 4th in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

The group will also perform at Sky Rink's annual ISI Competition on Sunday, June 2nd, as well as the Skating Club of New York’s end of year show on June 9th at 10:30am in the East Rink.
