February 2013

From the President
Well the first month in the New Year is already at an end. I hope that all of you had a great 2012 and are looking forward to lots of golf in 2013! We had a good turn-out for the 2013 Stockholders Meeting on the 21st. We really missed all the members who could not make it. I would like to sincerely thank Charles McClure, Trish Giocamazzi and David Stephenson for their hard work over the last year. New board members elected were Bob Lang, Roger Senter and Chad Pernell. Be sure to talk to any board member when you have a concern (or even a compliment).

I am sorry to report that Janice Price has resigned from the board. The board will be looking for a replacement over the next few weeks. Many Thanks to Janice for all you have done for the club.

The main well on the course has been replaced and will be in operation soon. Please pray for rain so that we don’t have to use it quite as much this year. We hope to have a couple of work days this year and I hope you can all find some time to lend a hand with special projects to spruce up the course. I would like to ask everyone to stay on the cart paths as much as possible to help protect the grass in the fairways and rough. This time of year the grass really takes a beating, please help us out as much as possible.

The Polar Bear Tournament is coming up soon and is filling fast. Call Tim if you are interested in playing, we need a full field for this one!
Hope everyone can come down and play as the weather permits.

Greetings to all!! Well we finally got a reprieve from the weeks of ice cold weather and actually have gotten some play at the course recently. It’s about time!! Hopefully the warmth will continue and we can have a steady flow of players on the course. Lets keep our fingers crossed that the warm weather is here to stay!!

Well there were no events to talk about last month, but we do have the Polar Bear scramble set for the 2nd and 3rd of February. Looking at the long range forecast, it appears as though we are in for some decent temperatures that weekend. Hope it’s correct!! Haha. I will post the results in next months newsletter for you all to see.

While on the subject of play at the course, I have a favor to ask all of you. When we have these 70 degree days in the middle of a cold snap, everybody has the same idea…to get out and play some golf. It would be a tremendous help if instead of just showing up and assuming you can walk right out and play, could you please call us at the golf shop and set up a tee time?? It helps us to have an idea of what to expect for the day, and it will help you by knowing what time you are scheduled for. When you simply show up it may take us 30 minutes or more to be able to find a slot for you to fit in. I hate to have you waiting for a long time when it can be taken care of with a phone call. Thanks very much for your help in this matter!!

Not much else to report on as of now. Lets hope for the warm temps to stay around for a while, and hope to see you all at your club very soon!!

The Grandmothers/50 and Over is set for Thursday, June 6th, two days before the Ladies Chaparral, which is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9.

January 2013

From the President
Another Christmas has come and gone. Hope everyone had a great time and got all the toys you wanted. I know a few members who were probably on the naughty side of Santa’s list and they most likely missed out on the presents. Once again the weather has been nice and many of you have been able to get out and play a couple of rounds.
Thankfully, we have great news regarding the main well on the course. As you know, the motor had to be pulled and it was determined that it had burned up. The insurance people determined that it had been hit by lightning and are paying for the replacement except for the deductible. This is a big load off the club. We are still watering with the small well and due to the cooler weather, have been able to keep everything in pretty good shape.
The Christmas party was a great success and everyone seemed to have a real good time. Thanks to Teresa for the excellent meal and to Janice for all the planning.

Hope everyone can come down and play as the weather permits. Also start planning for the Stockholders meeting on January 21st. We need everyone to be there! Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!!

Well December 21st came and went and the end of the world was avoided once again!! Haha. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!!! With the cold weather and some snow even, there has not been a whole lot going on around your club. Play has been extremely slow this past month, and unfortunately we have not had the best of golf weather. But hopefully all that will change and we can get some play going on over here!!

As of this writing, the Polar Bear tournament is set for February 2nd and 3rd of 2013. Cant believe it’s already 2013, wow!! If you want to get yourself and your partner signed up for this, either stop by the golf shop or give us a ring and we will put you in. As always, play will be 2 person teams for this 2 day scramble. Hopefully we have lots of teams sign up for it this year!!

I will be extending my Christmas Sale pricing on merchandise through January. If there is something you need or want to get for someone please stop on by the shop. If I don’t have what you’re looking for, remember I can always order it up for you!! Lets all keep our fingers crossed for a great upcoming year here at the club. Come on by and play some golf once it warms up. Looking forward to seeing you all very soon!!
