Feast at the M.A.C. Before all Rams Home Games  Since your clubhouse is across the street from the Rams home base, it makes sense to combine the two into one spectacular evening. Before the 7 p.m. game against the Texans on Saturday, Aug. 19, head to the downtown M.A.C. The Sportsman's Club will have a spectacular dinner buffet from 5 to 7 p.m., for only $23.95. Before or after the game say a toast to the Rams at the Sportsman's Club Bar, open from 5 p.m. to midnight. Click here for a full Rams schedule |
Take a Little Taste of Italy Go on a culinary tour of Italy without ever leaving your clubhouse. On Friday, Sept. 22, the M.A.C. Culinary Club is presenting "A Taste of Italy" at 6:30 p.m. in the West Dining Room. Explore the country's many regions with a five-course Italian meal complete with wine pairings. Each course will feature food and wine from a different region of Italy. Cost is $125 + gratuity, per couple. Call 314-539-4490 for reservations. |
| Golfers Hit the Links Join golfers for M.A.C. Golf Championship  Despite its lack of a golf course, golf has always played a dynamic role at the Missouri Athletic Club. With partnerships at nine area golf courses and an active Golf Club, the game continues to have a strong following at the Club. Last year the M.A.C. revived a 65-year-old golfing tradition at the Club: the annual golf championship. This September, the tradition continues. From Friday, Sept. 8, to Sunday, Sept. 10, members can compete for the President's Trophy. Play will be held at two of the M.A.C.'s partner courses, Gateway National Golf Links and Stonewolf Golf Club. Cost is $50 for Golf Club members and $75 for non-members. Sign up for the tournament now! Click here for more information |
