Your body endures stresses and strains every day that it must work to compensate for. These compensations often cause body tissues to tighten which can distort the craniosacral system and create restrictions around the brain and spinal cord. CST uses gentle touch to allow the body to release those restrictions and self-correct. CST has been shown to naturally decrease pain and stress, enhance disease resistance, and strengthen health and well-being.

LXCL:Enjoy Golf for Four with Carts @Norbeck Country Club From the Club: “Playing at Norbeck Country Club is an unparalleled experience, a journey through Alfred H. Tull's design genius where each hole presents a unique challenge and every vista takes your breath away. Opened in 1954 amidst Maryland's rolling hills, this 7,000-yard masterpiece is a living testament to Tull's philosophy, whispering his signature style in every bunker, green, and breathtaking view. Tull, an extraordinary course architect, envisioned the course's flow by walking the land, transforming topography into a golfer's symphony with layouts that feel organic and alive. Norbeck translates this philosophy into a delightful dance with the terrain, where undulating fairways and strategically placed bunkers guard landing zones like playful sand dragons, offering ample room for creativity and finesse on small greens.”Holes: 18 | Par: 72 | Rating: 74.1 | Slope: 136 | Yardage: 7,021<a href="https://cms11-prod.invitedclubs.com/clubs/norbeck-country-club/golf/course" class="lxcl-link" dir="ltr">https://cms11-prod.invitedclubs.com/clubs/norbeck-country-club/golf/course</a>&nbsp; Donated by Norbeck Country Club, coordinated by Jessica Eustace (Board Member) Value: $600
