The Middleton School of Hospitality is live, and we’re kicking things off with a Cannonball-wide Wine Sales Competition, starting 4/11 at 5:00 PM.
Here’s how it works:
First person to sell 10 bottles of wine wins a complimentary stay at The Commodore.

Let’s have some fun with this, build momentum, and drive those wine sales 🍷
Let me know if you need anything to support your teams.

Ah, The Masters… the fair-weather golfers have officially defrosted!
One of my favorite parts of tournament week? The Champions Dinner menu.
Each year, the defending champion curates a menu that reflects their own taste, favorite dishes, and a little bit of their story.
This year, Rory McIlroy, after finally getting his long-awaited first Masters win in 2025, created a menu that feels personal to him, with subtle nods to his Northern Irish roots.
… Seeing what wines made the cut is always one of the best parts.
