October 2012

From the Pro
Well the summer rush came to an abrupt end when school started up again. It is very slow on the weekdays right now, so if you have the chance, come and take advantage of the limited course use. You can play a round at lightning pace right at the moment!! Hopefully we will still have our busy weekends and the club will get some revenue from the outside play.

Last weekend we held the Men’s Senior Partnership tournament. As usual, the course was in great condition, and we had 31 teams entered (almost double last year’s total). Seems that people are enjoying coming out for tournaments here!!! Our own members did very well in this one. Here’s how some of our own members fared:

Championship Flight:

1st Lynn Johnston and Don Cofer

First Flight:

2nd Travis Loe and Clarence Vaughn

Second Flight:

1st Rick Dabney and Stan Price

2nd Cleve Gustin and Craig Curlee

3rd Dick Arche and Roger Senter

Third Flight:

1st Charlie McClure and Ronnie Reynolds

3rd Pete Clay and Red Higginbotham

Thanks to all for your participation and congratulations on your outstanding play!!! We still have some tournaments coming up for you to play in before it gets too cold!! On October 6th and 7th we will have the Ryder Cup. Please call and put your name in for this one, this is a very fun event to play in!! The following week on the 13th we have the 2nd annual backwards tournament. Very very fun format and quite a strange way to play your course!! Haha. The last event of the year is the very next day on the 14th, and that is the 19 man shootout. Sign-ups for all these events are currently being taken in the pro shop. Call or stop by and reserve your spot in one or all of these events!!

As usual, if there is anything you would like to have from the golf shop but we don’t have it in stock for you, please let us know and most likely we can get it ordered up for you. Usually special orders take no more than 2 weeks, and our prices in the shop are better than you will find pretty much everywhere. So stop on by and get yourself something nice!!
