June 2013

From the President

Hope this finds everyone ready for a fun filled summer of golf swimming and vacationing.  I know that the warmer weather has me wanting to play more golf.  I don’t have much to report this month, but I want to thank everyone who has been working hard to get the course and pool ready for summer.  Special thanks go out to Clarence Vaughn and Chad Pernell for their hard work on the pool.  Bob Lang has been working hard to upgrade our carts and Eddie Clements has done an excellent job getting us set up on Facebook.  If you have not seen our Facebook page, go online and check it out.    

We were able to fix a few of our potholes the week. Thanks to Clarence, Brito, Eddie and Johnny for aking care of that for us.  Maybe the trip down Chaparral will not be quite as bone jarring now.  

Remember that Friday Night Scrambles are going on and this is a great way to meet fellow members and have a good time.

Well with temperatures in the 100’s this past week I think it is safe to assume that summer has finally arrived!!  It has been a long time coming!! Haha.  Hopefully with the warm temperatures we will see a influx of players here at the club.

Thanks to all who participated and hope to see everyone at the next event!!  Speaking of events, the Ladies Chaparral will be held the 8th and 9th of June.  If you wish to play and have not yet signed up, please call the golf shop and get registered.  Also this month will be the Double Couples Championship on June 22nd and 23rd.   Again, call the shop to get registered!!   

There are many new things in the shop this year, stop on by and see what kind of goodies you cant live without.  Remember that as a Canyon CC member, you will always receive 10% off anything you buy in the golf shop!!  Hope to see you all around your club very soon!!

Spring has sprung and it looks like summer is just around the corner. Hope everyone has been enjoying the warmer weather and you all are out getting those yards in shape for the summer. It sounds like we had a great workday on Saturday. Lots of people turned out and tons of work was accomplished by our members. Thanks to those of you who were able to be there, sorry I was not able to be at this one, but I’ll try to make up for it this week by fixing some of our potholes. I have heard from quite a few of you regarding the condition of the road. I know this is a major concern and the board is discussing possible remedies. Road repair and maintenance is a very expense proposition, so be patient.
The Adios tournament and the night scramble were both a big success. The Adios was completely full and had a waiting list!!! That’s great! Let’s continue to support the club tournaments.

Well, it took almost two years to get all the kinks worked out, but we closed on the land deal this month. We have sold the 43 acres on top to Ty Roberts. Ty is developing lots and the development is to be called The Cliffs at Canyon Country Club. This should be a great development and should enhance our membership. If you are looking for a great place to build a home, give Ty a call to see about purchasing a lot!!

Again 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 have been put in place.

Remember that Friday Night Scrambles are going on and this is a great way to meet fellow members and have a good time.

Hello to all. In last month’s newsletter I said it looked like the warm weather was finally here. Now as I sit here typing this letter, the temperature is 30 degrees, the wind is blowing about 20 mph, and there is not a soul at the club today!! I don’t know if I am in North Texas or North Dakota!! Geez, hopefully we can get to some warm weather that actually stays around!! Haha.

Well we had an excellent turnout for the Adios 3 Person Scramble. We had a full field for the event, 36 teams of 3. That makes 2 events in a row where we are full with a waiting list for players. Hopefully we can keep up this pace for our tournaments. I think the club is becoming more and more popular, and I look forward to a busy golf season here. Speaking of the Adios many of our members were winners in the event. In the 1st flight, Steve Rogers, Mason Rogers, and Travis David took second place. In the 2nd flight, Jim Giacomazzzi, Clarence Vaughn, and Johnny Vaughn also took second place. In the 4th flight, Bob Lang, Debbie Lang, and Travis Loe took first place, and in the 5th flight, Pete Clay, Bill Mays, and Nikki Velarde were first with Keith Dollar, Cody Dollar and J.R. Coffee taking second place. Congrats to all our winning member teams!!  Also a big congrats goes out to Larry Maxwell who on Sunday had his second lifetime hole in one on the 14th hole using his trusty 8 iron!!

The next event we have at the club will be the Grandmothers Tournament on May 2nd, followed by the 2 Man Senior Partnership on the 18th and 19th. The Friday Night Scrambles are in full swing, so remember to get signed up for these fun events.

In the golf shop, I have more clubs in stock than ever. Stop on by and see if there is something you need for this season. Hopefully I will have what you need, but if I don’t I can always order it for you. Also remember that as a member you get 10% off any purchase in the shop. I have some clothing on order and hopefully that will be arriving soon also so stop on by and find something you can’t live without!! Hope to see all of you at your club very soon!!
