April 2013

From the President
Hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well and looking forward to spring and warmer weather as much as I am. We have had several warm days and lots of play on the course. We really need it due to the many days of poor weather in January and February. I look for it to be a great spring with lots of rain!

Coming into spring and grass growing season is a good time to remind everyone to stay on the cart paths as much as possible so we do less damage to the grass. Also everyone needs to remember that we need to make sure we double up on carts in order to save wear and tear to our fleet. Mikel and Javier are doing a great job on the course but we need to help all we can to make our course one of the very best around.

I would like to remind everyone to tell your friends that we have memberships available for the pool during the summer months. We had a great response to that membership last year and it really helps pay for expenses incurred on maintenance of the pool. Plans to expand the hours of the pool are being discussed and will be available soon.

Remember that Friday Night Scrambles start soon and this is a great way to meet fellow members and have a good time competing no matter how good you are. Please encourage your fellow members to come down and play. You will enjoy it!!

From the Pro
Well it looks as if this weather may start cooperating after all. We still have the occasional bad days but there are more playable days than not. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that the warm stuff finally decides to stay around for a while!!

Well myself and Mikel did ok in the Mikel’s Revenge/Beat the Pro game. We had one of those days where everything we looked at went in. Due to the fact that we won all our bets, I decided to go ahead and make every player a winner anyways. So everyone who played ended up getting 25% more than they bet back. I thought that was only fair!!
The rating teams were out from the Texas Golf Association in the past two weeks. The course was re-rated and we should have our new ratings in place here shortly. They told me it takes about 3 weeks to get the new ratings, so look for those by the middle of April at the latest.

Remember that we have the Adios 3 person scramble coming up on April 13th and 14th. This tournament is starting to fill up pretty quickly, so if you want to play please remember to call the golf shop and get your team signed up. The sooner the better on these deals!!

New things have arrived in the shop and new stuff is showing up all the time, so stop on by and let us help you find some new toys for your golf bag!! And remember that if you don’t see something you want we can always order it for you. Hope to see you all around your club soon!!
