August 2014

From the President

 

Greetings.  I hope you’re having a good summer.  The rain has been a welcome change from the drought we’ve endured for the last several years.  Hopefully it will continue.  It’s taken some pressure off our well and the effort to keep enough groundwater on the course.  Grass always seems to respond better to rain anyway. 

 

While the rain is good and needed, it does create some problems for the club and the course.  Our staff has worked hard to keep the parking lot area clean after these rains.  They’ve also worked on fairway number 3 by removing soil and installing compost and seed.  Hopefully this will work.  We have other areas on the course they plan to address in the future.  We may need to be more aggressive with reducing/controlling/diverting runoff so that we can maintain grass in these areas.

 

This past month we discovered that our water supply system did not meet all of TCEQ’s requirements for a public water supply.  We are in the process of making those changes and getting an approved permit from the State. 

 

We’ve also had to replace our pool heater that we’ve had about 10 years.  The new heater will be installed shortly and the water temperature should be back to normal.

 

Thanks to the staff and everyone who helped on our July 4th get-together.  My family had a great time and I know others did as well.

 

Blessings,

Chad

From The Ladies Auxiliary

 

Auxiliary members met July 2nd and went out to meet new residents who have moved into the Club and surrounding area.  They welcomed the new people and invited them to join and become active in the Canyon Country Club.  A special invitation was extended to come and enjoy the CCC 4th of July celebration Hope everyone enjoyed the hamburgers, hot dogs and fireworks, couldn’t ask for a better night.

 

The Chaparral Ladies Tournament was held June 28th and 29th, 20% of the proceeds from the tournament were donated to local charities.  CCC had several ladies that placed in two flights:  Debbie Lang and Debbie Neufeld won 1st in the 1st Flight, while Marsha Kirk and Karolyn Farmer placed 2nd.  Kim Davis and Sue Herring won 1st in the 2nd Flight, while Laurie Hollingsworth and Regina Dinga won 3rd.  Carpet Tech volunteered to handle the putting tournament on Saturday evening after play.  Bob Lang once again provided free drinks and drove the beverage cart Saturday during play.

 

Ladies are still encouraged to come out and play Wednesday evenings.  The ladies tee-off at 6:00pm.
