The Pittsburgh Golf Club
Dinner and Dancing 6:30-10:30
There is parking here, too! You don't get to do it yourself, however. This is a valet mandatory location. So, maybe you dont want to drive there in your 1931 Pierce Arrow with the tetchy transmission.
This is a "Golf Club" that is adjacent to but does not own or have any control of a golf course! Isn't that wild! There is a lovely pool, but we are inviting you there at the end of December!
Plan your approach
5280 Northumberland Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15217
By Foot
Climb up through the Bob O'Connor golf course. The chances of being hit by a ball should be reduced due to the time of year.
By Scooter
Come up Forbes Avenue on your scooter. Turn left on Northumberland and make your way along the golf course to the end. Your legs must be getting very tired from scooting up the hill. Scoot for all you are worth! Scoot scoot scoot!
By Jetpack
Get high above Squirrel Hill and look for a building with a columned portico next to several tennis courts. Make sure to land safely before you run out of fuel!
Questions about the Party
What, more of this? You told us so much about the ceremony, how long will this go on?
Not so long! This party is easy. Just:
Show up.
Eat.
Dance.
Have your picture taken.
There will be an airbrush thing, you will figure it out. Or not! It isn't compulsory!
It'll also be Hanukkah, so there will be that whole thing, but you don't need to know anything about that really. There will be some candles, there will be a prayer, it'll be quick.
There will be the hora, where everyone dances in a circle and Pearl gets picked up on a chair and bounced around. It is really self explanatory. Jump right in! If you happen to be a strapping person of great physical strength (or even moderate physical strength) feel free to join in with lifting the chair. You don't need to be asked in advance, just go do it!
That's nice, but you forgot to tell me what to wear. I could figure out the rest, it's a party. I have been to parties.
Right! Right, you got me there. Ok, so they call it "sneaker formal," which I am told means wear a suit or a dress and sneakers for dancing. You don't have to wear sneakers though, really. Do not wear white tie and tails, despite the word "formal." Apparently that is "super embarassing, Dad, do not do that just be normal please."
Just, you know, look nice. I don't think anyone is on the guest list who doesn't know how to look nice.
