From the President
Well, like usual it’s been an interesting month here at Canyon Country Club. I want to thank everyone that showed up for the special stockholders meeting that was held on July 12th. I think the members made the correct decision in approving the replacing of the well & and adding a variable speed drive that will hopefully add a few years of service to the pump and motor.
We had a big turnout for the Fourth of July festivities and I think we can deem them a huge success. I have heard from several members, of how wonderful the tournament was along with the fireworks and most people I have talked to are hoping to continue this tradition next year. A very big THANK YOU goes out to Casey for the planning and the promotion of the activities as well as the discharging of the fireworks. Thanks also go out to Mikel, Zach for their help. Last but certainly not least, the Lang’s for their suburb grilling. I know it was hot out there, but they did a great job of cooking. Its events just like this that makes Canyon Country Club a special place.
All in all the club seems to be rocking right along, the number of rounds being played is still down quite a bit from last year, but I think that is going on everywhere. We did pick up 4 new members last month, but we also lost 2 so our total membership is 155. Keep encouraging your friends and colleagues to become a part of CCC, we always need more members.
Hope to see you out on the course.

July Newsletter
From the President:
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as we are. It always amazes me how fast time flies, we are nearly half way into summer, before you know it school will be starting soon.
I wanted to update everyone on a couple of different matters. First, the Board of Directors has changed the summer hours yet again. We had hoped by opening the golf course at 7am during the summer months, we could pick up some additional income from green fee players (those trying to beat the heat), however we did not see a increase in play during that time. A motion was made, seconded and approved to return our hours to open at 8am 6 days a week and 10am on Tuesdays.
One other point I would like to bring up is the tennis courts. As most of you know the tennis courts are in very sad shape and more of an eyesore than a plus for the club. Fellow CCC resident Brad Tooley has asked for and received permission from the Board of Directors to start a fund raising mission to repair our tennis courts. His only request from CCC is to help in some lawn mowing around the courts and to cover any monthly expenses (light bill) associated with lighting the tennis courts. Brad is very confident that this project is very doable and hopes to have commitments in place and the project under way by the end of the year. Brad will be making posters and soliciting commitments from friends and business associates to cover the cost of resurfacing one of the existing courts. As the interest grows, the re-surfacing of the second tennis court will also be considered. As part of this mission, CCC may start offering a tennis only membership once the court has been resurfaced. This income would also help defray some of the cost of resurfacing the second court. The estimate for resurfacing the one court and installing new lights is estimated to cost approximately $8,000. If you would like to donate to the tennis court fund, a commitment is all Brad is looking for at this time, please get in touch with him at 499-3363. As the commitments start coming in and we get closer to starting the project, we will be having a clean up day to work on the area around the tennis courts and the maintenance barn. I applaud Brad for taking on such a tremendous undertaking and I encourage our members to support this project with your comments as well as your donations; this is really a win-win situation for everyone.

Summer is in full swing. I hope that you have gotten a chance to play our wonderful golf course. Mikel and his crew have done a wonderful job. Just a few reminders; please repair all ball marks on the green and sand all your divots. Also, please do not spray mosquito repellent on while standing on the green. These oil based products can kill the grass that is one the green. So, if you are going to spray yourself, be sure to do it on the cart path. Thanks.
July 4th Celebration
On Sunday, July 4th, we will be celebrating July 4th down here at the club. Starting at 7:00 p.m., we will be having a Par 3 Tournament. This will be an individual stroke play event, that will be flighted by your handicap. After the tournament, we will be having a cook-out with hamburgers and hot dogs, with desert following the meal. As soon as it gets dark, we will have a fireworks show. I am asking everyone who attends to bring some fireworks with you and Mikel and myself will set them off. The club will also furnish some fireworks. This will be a great time for golf, fellowship, and some entertainment. If you have any questions or would like to sign-up for the tournament, please call the golf shop.
