From the President
The trees are beginning to leaf out, the grass is beginning to turn green and golf play is starting to increase. What a great way to start off spring. I am always amazed at God’s creation every time I drive to the club. There are not very many places in the world where you can see all 4 seasons and the abundant of wildlife we have in the canyon.
If you have wondered about all of the little yellow and pink flags all along the road, the phone company is in the process of laying a new fiber optics cable. Please watch out for their equipment. Hopefully they won’t be there too long.
Starting with the Adios tournament, on the weekends, and other tournaments, we will be running a beer/soft drink cart. We will run this for a while and see how it works. We will not run it during the middle of the week. This will be cash only for non members. Members may charge it to their account or pay cash. It may take a few trips to work out the kinks so please be patient with us.
Take a look around the next time you are in the pro shop. WOW! Tim has done an excellent job of cleaning and rearranging it. He has new stuff ordered so you should see an increase in merchandise very soon. The carts are all running but in the event you find something wrong with one of them, please tell Tim and give him the number of the cart so we can get it repaired.
Hope everyone survived the winter and is now ready to play golf. We need new members so tell everyone you know who plays golf to come visit our course and let’s try to increase our membership.
Have a good round and get your handicap’s down.

From the Golf Shop
Well the year is off to a great start as far as tournaments go. We had 32 teams sign up for the Adios 3-man scramble, a great turn out! There were 4 flights of 8 teams each. Aside from the 6 hour rounds and the less than desirable temperatures, things went pretty much to plan. There was a tie for the winner in the Championship Flight, and those teams decided to go ahead and split first place rather than play it off in the dark or do a scorecard playoff. The winning teams were Philip Fetzer, Scott Perry, and Jerry Hoover tied with Chris Sloan, Chad Coleman, and Dario Garza at 16 under par. In the First Flight it was Bobby Boswell, Ed Burge and David Moore who won a scorecard playoff to claim first prize in their flight. Second Flight was won by Clarence Vaughn, Johnny Vaughn, and Trish Giacomazzi. And last but not least, the Third Flight was taken by Rick Dabney, Janice Price and Stan Price. Low round of the weekend belonged to Chad Pernell, Nate Seemann, and Doug Simms. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for playing!! Hopefully our next tournament, the 2 man best ball on April 16 and 17, will have some warmer weather for everyone!! Give us a ring in the pro shop if you want to play and we will be sure to sign you up. Play is again slated for 2 shotguns each day at 8:30 and 1:30. The new merchandise is finally starting to arrive in the pro shop. If there is something you would like to see us carry but don’t have, please let us know so that we can see about getting your favorite brand in here. We will also be offering a monthly range pass to those who are interested in getting in a little more practice. If you are a member of CCC you can sign up at the beginning of each month in the shop for a cost of $25. There is no monthly plan for those who are not members. This will entitle you to all the range balls you want to hit that month. Just let one of the pro shop staff know and we can get you going. Hope to see you all out at the club real soon!!
