March 2012

From the President
I hope everyone is having a great start to their 2012 New Year. I’m sure everyone is still keeping those New Year resolutions! The stockholders meeting has come and gone and the board members are busy working on ideas to improve our club. One of our fist priorities has been to do everything we can to increase membership (and revenue) and to trim as many of our costs as possible. The board would love to hear any ideas you might have along these lines. The members are always welcome at the board meetings. You have probably noticed that we have cut back hours on the bartenders, but Tim and the guys are always available to get anything you might want from the bar. The weather has been somewhat crazy so far this year but I am sure we will be getting a lot of pretty days now. One thing we would like to remind everyone about is keeping up our pace of play. If you see problems with slow players on the course, please call the pro shop to report it rather than confronting the offenders yourself. Tim will take care of these issues and that way none of our members will have any problems. I would like to encourage everyone to come out and play in all our tournaments and to encourage friends and family to come play at Canyon Country Club. We need all the members and green fee players we can get. Janice has started up Saturday Game Nights and that will be a lot of fun. Come on down and enjoy the fellowship. Hope to see you all at the club soon.

From the Golf Shop
Greetings from the golf shop! Well it is hard to tell what this weather likes to do around here isn’t it? We have had everything from 3 inches of snow to 78 degrees this February!! Try as we might, we were not able to get the Sweethearts Scramble played, due to bad weather on both scheduled days. Hopefully next year we can luck out and schedule it on one of those 78 degree days!!
The Polar Bear tournament was played in January, and we ended up with a good turnout of 25 teams. Jim Giacomazzi and Don Coffer went ahead and gave everyone a nice beating to take home the title in the Championship Flight, with Brian and Parker Noel coming in second place. Other CCC members who cashed in the event were Javier Solis and Eric Moya in the First Flight, Dan Luther and Brito Valdez in the Second flight, and David Stephenson and Rick Weitner in the Third flight. Way to represent the club you all!! And thanks to all who participated!!
We have two events scheduled for this March. First will be the Mikel’s Revenge/Beat the Pro event on Saturday, March 10th. Format will be the same as last year, with Mikel and myself playing a scramble against the field of other two person teams. Our scratch score will go against your net score. Like last year, you will bet any amount you want. If you win, that amount is doubled as credit for you in the golf shop, and if you don’t beat us, then you still win the amount bet as credit in the shop. You cant lose (and not one of you did last year!!) haha. Also, we will have the Adios to Winter 3 Person Scramble on Saturday and Sunday, March 24th and 25th. This is a big event for us, which means lots of money in the pot to play for, so make sure you find a team and get signed up!!
I should be receiving a large shipment of new products from Taylor Made and Titleist very soon, so stop on by the shop and check out the new goodies!! Also, if there is something in particular you would like to see me carry in the shop please let me know so I can get your favorite products for you!! See you around very soon I hope!!
