May Newsletter

From the President
Hope this newsletter finds everyone having a great spring. The weather has (mostly) been good and lots of people have been enjoying the outdoors. What better way to do that than playing golf with friends and family at Canyon Country Club. I hope everyone has had a chance to get out and play. Friday night scrambles have started and there has been a good turnout. Remember, these scrambles are for all members regardless of ability. This is a good way to get to know other members and work on your game. Mikel and Javier have finished deep tining the greens and they should be in good shape within a few days. Everything is starting to really grow and get green with the warmer weather. Be sure and invite your friends to play a round og golf and enjoy the beauty of the canyon. Hope everyone has a great May.

This year's tournment will be the first year that you do not have to be a Grandmother, but you do have to be at least 50 years of age. So you have two ways to be eligible, (1) you are a Grandmother or (2) you are 50 or older. The tournment is planned for June 7th. More information will be provided as the play date get closer.
