LPGA Sybase Match Play Championship Comes to Hamilton Farm

The top 44 players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association will be participating in the Sybase Match Play Championship at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone.  The four-day event starts this Thursday, May 19 and runs to Sunday, May 22.  Practice rounds begin today, with the Pro-Am on Wednesday.  The excitement is building at the club as the tents are raised and television and concession stands go up.  The Golf Channel will broadcast live coverage of the event on Saturday.

2011 is the second year that the Sybase-sponsored tournament is being held at Hamilton Farm.  Players will include Tour favorites Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel and last year’s winner, Sun Young Yoo.  Other notable players are Angela Stanford, Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster, Karrie Webb and Jiyai Shin.

The Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone is hosting the event with charity beneficiaries including the Somerset Medical Center, The First Tee and TGA-Premier Junior Golf.

Situated on about 600 acres in the Somerset Hills, the Hamilton Farm Golf Club is sited on the former country estate of James Cox Brady, a New York financier.  Comprised of two distinct courses, The Highlands and The Hickory, Hamilton Farm is known as one of the country’s premier golf clubs and was named a Platinum Club of America.

May 14 is Mendham’s Paper Shredding/Electronics Recycling Day

Since spring cleaning is on the mind of many Mendham residents, next weekend’s Community Shred and Electronics Recycling Day comes at a perfect time.  Saturday, May 14, all Mendham Borough and Mendham Township residents are invited to bring their personal paperwork or electronics to this event for proper disposal.  Both events will take place at the Public Works Facility located at 37 Ironia Road from 9am to 1pm.

An on-site paper shredder will safely discard old files, keeping sensitive papers free from identity theft.  Suggested items include bank statements, old tax forms, receipts, medical forms, insurance information and other personal data.  Staples and paper clips do not need to be removed, making it even easier to dispose of outdated papers.  Additionally, all shredded paper will be recycled.

The Electronics Recycling event will be accepting “almost everything with a plug.”  These include desktop and laptop computers (hard drives will be erased by: Advanced Recovery), small electronics, copiers, hardware, printers, monitors, small household appliances, tape recorders, radios, typewriters, fax machines and televisions.  The event will not include larger items such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves or air conditioners.

Both events are sponsored by the Mendham Borough and Mendham Township Environmental Commissions.  With an eye toward preserving the environment, Mendham is dedicated to keeping the community eco-friendly.  If living in this kind of town appeals to you, contact our Mendham office at 8 East Main Street to learn more about Mendham real estate.

Historic c. 1765 Bernardsville Colonial

Two notable aspects of this home are its vast acreage and its Early American history, making it a rare gem among Bernardsville homes for sale.  A beautifully-maintained fieldstone Colonial built in 1765 is the centerpiece of 30+ acres featuring a guest house, small barn, swimming pool and pool house.  The leafy surroundings are dotted with Koi ponds, foot bridges, a charming gazebo, woodland paths, native plantings and mature trees.

Several additions over the years enhance the original structure while adding well-appointed living space.  The expansive 20-room floor plan includes eight bedrooms, five full and two half baths as well as a three-car garage.  Among the gathering spaces are a great room with coffered ceilings, a four-season sunroom off the large master suite, and a spacious kitchen.  For the homebuyer seeking a serene property that’s close to major highways and amenities, this enchanting and historic Bernardsville Colonial is a superior choice.

Classic Bedminster Estate

Estate living in Bedminster reaches a whole new level in an exceptional Colonial home that embraces the traditional New England architectural styles of Cape Cod and Nantucket.  A gated entry marks the sweeping five-acre property set along a private lane.  Deer fencing around the perimeter ensures that the fabulous gardens will bloom throughout the season.  An innovative dark-toned Gunite swimming pool is surrounded by Ipé decking and stone walls.  The climate-controlled barn is ideal for horses since the acreage offers direct access to Bedminster’s network of riding trails.  Alternately, the barn can be used for a car collection.

An intense renovation using careful attention to detail was recently completed, including behind-the-walls wiring for flat screen televisions.  Other interior highlights are extensive millwork, arched room openings, custom paneling and intricate moldings.  Of special note is the stylish all-white kitchen balanced by black countertops of honed absolute granite.  Custom finishes also detail the gracious master suite of rooms which offers two baths.  A total of four bedrooms, four full baths and a powder room enhance the meticulously-designed floor plan.

A jewel among Bedminster homes for sale, this grand estate is close to equestrian facilities, recreational pursuits and golf at Hamilton Farm or Trump National.  Historic and cultural offerings are a short drive away in Morristown.  Bedminster Township is about 45 minutes from New York City and about 35 minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport.  A network of local roadways includes Interstates 78 and 287 for commuters.
