Febuary 2011 Newsletter

From the President
First off I want to thank Jerry Neufeld for serving as our club president for the past 3 years. Also a big thank you to Wilma Higginbotham, and Sue Herring for serving on the board. These people were a big asset to the club and will be missed. We are a family and there are not any better members than what we have at CCC.

2011 brings a challenging year. With the economy being tight and fewer rounds of golf played, we are all challenged to step up to the plate and help out where ever we can. We have a great staff to work with and with Tim Davis arriving soon as our new Pro, we are looking forward to new ideas, new members, and ways to improve our course and increase our membership. We had a great stockholders meeting and several changes were made and a host of good ideas to work on. We will do our best to keep everyone informed of the happenings at CCC. Please check the web site from time to time. Let’s hope the weather cooperates through the remainder of winter so we can get ready for the Friday night scrambles.

A big thanks to Zach, Courtney and Billy for taking control of the Pro shop till Tim arrives and a big thanks to those who have volunteered to fill in while Zach and Billy attend classes.

Dick Archer, President – Board of Directors

Super Bowl Party
The Super Bowl Party at the club will begin at 4:30 on Sunday, February 6th. We will have plenty of food and there will be a chance for you to win some money with our annual Squares Pot. We would love to see everyone there, so don’t forget the party starts at 4:30.



Mikel’s Revenge / Beat the Pro
Our wonderful superintendent gets to play the role of the Evil Greenskeeper on Saturday, February 19th. Mikel will be setting the pins in the most difficult positions that he can find and the tees will be set way back. Find yourself a partner and see if you can stomach the six-putts that are inevitable. The format will be a two person scramble. There will be a 10 stroke handicap limit on your team. Also, there will be an optional Beat-the-Pro tournament. Mikel and Tim will play in the scramble, and yes we will be zero handicaps – (although many could argue that we probably need a few strokes!). The costs of the tournament will $20 for the scramble per player and an extra $10 per player for the Beat-the-Pro portion of the tournament. If you play in the Beat-the-Pro portion, you will automatically receive a $10 credit in the golf shop. If you beat Mikel and Tim, then you double your wager! You can’t lose! Teresa will be making dinner following play.

Ladies Auxiliary
The Ladies Auxiliary will be meeting on Thursday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the community room with NO SMOKING allowed. All ladies are invited to come and be a part of the Ladies Auxiliary. This does not just include the women that play golf, but all ladies that are a member of CCC, as their fundraisers go directly back into the update and beautification of the club. Plus they have a really good time! Dues for 2011 have increased to $20 with $1 going to the hole in one...so the total is $21 for those who want to participate in this.

Membership Dues Increase
As of March 1st, the membership dues will increase to $138.13 per month. This was discussed and voted on during the January Stockholders Meeting.

From the Pro Shop
Zach, Billy, and Courtney would like to thank all of the members that have helped us during the past couple of months. We could not have gotten through it without your help. Also, I hope everyone is as excited as we are about Tim Davis being our new Pro. We are looking forward to working with him and making our club grow. Also because of the lack of moisture, we are Cart Paths Only. We will allow those that need it a flag for the cart, but try to stay on the cart path as long as possible. I hope that everyone will have a great year, and that the weather will be nice enough so we can all have a chance to go out and enjoy our beautiful club. See you on the course!
