From the President
It’s hard to believe we come to the end of another year. We have some seen some very positive changes over the course of the last 12 months, and we are optimistically looking for even more changes in the coming year.
While nothing is final yet, we have had some very good responses from some of the grants that we have sent out. We should not be discouraged as I have said before, we are at the end of a lot of foundations fiscal year but we will continue to work to find assistance. My hope is by our annual stockholders meeting will have some good news for everyone.
One item that the grant committee is looking into is to look for some funding to rebuild the clubhouse and Proshop. Dick Archer and the grant committee are putting together ideas that we might consider as possible floor plans. If you have any ideas that you feel that needs to be looked into, please let someone know. As we get closer to a “final floor plan” that we would like to submit to the grant writers we will keep everyone informed.
At the last regular board meeting the Board of Directors approved Mikel’s request to go cart path only during the winter months. We realize that this may be an inconvenience to some people but it will make for a much healthier fairway next spring.
Don’t forget the Canyon CC Christmas party on December 12th, mark your calendars and join us for a holiday dinner and entertainment.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Jerry Neufeld – President
Canyon Country Club
From the Golf Shop
Happy Holidays from all of the staff at your Canyon Country Club. I hope everyone had a great golfing year and has an even better one next year. I would like to thank, once again, Mikel Walser and his crew, for their hard work all year long. I personally think that we have the best 9 hole facility in the state and with out their hard work that would not be possible. Remember that you can do your part in helping them out by sanding your divots and repairing your ball marks on the green.
Christmas Open House
I will be hosting my annual Christmas Open House on December 12th. All merchandise in the shop will be marked down and you will have chance to win an even bigger discount on the items that you would like to purchase. There will be free gift wrapping, holiday treats and spirits, and good prices on quality merchandise. This will also be a good time to clear all that credit that you have won throughout the year. Don’t forget – the sales starts at 9:00 a.m.
Ladies Auxiliary Christmas Party
The Annual Ladies Auxiliary Christmas party will be held on December 7th at 6:00 p.m. All ladies are invited to attend (you do not have to be a member of the auxiliary).

Remember – the fun starts at 6:00 and lasts until 9:00.
Canyon Country Club’s Christmas Gala
On Saturday, December 12th, everyone is invited to the Christmas Gala. Dinner will start at 6:00 p.m. Teresa is making us a wonderful Christmas dinner, which includes pork tenderloin, cranberry sauce, rosemary potatoes, broccoli salad, dinner rolls, and a chocolate dessert.

There will also be smoking and nonsmoking areas designated. We hope to see everyone here at the club for what will be a wonderful meal and a great time.
New Year’s Eve Party

November Newsletter
From the President
With fall in full swing and winter knocking on the door there is still lots of opportunity to play golf and enjoy our beautiful surroundings. With the coming of winter I would like to ask everyone to be more aware with your cart. Try to stay on the paths as much as possible. The Board of Directors is not making it mandatory (at this time) to remain on cart paths at all times, just making a suggestion. The less we drive on the fairway, the better our course will be next spring. I know I am guilty of still using the 90-degree rule at times, so I myself need to be a little more attentive when playing.
Just to keep you up to date, our Grant Committee is still meeting, and working on club projects. The grant writers are still very positive about the possibilities we have in getting some of these grants. They feel we are very close in getting the Emergency 911 phone for the swimming pool and have a couple of prospects in landing some help in paying off our Small Business Loan and even paying off our equipment lease. Hopefully we will know something before the end of the year.
The only other new business is, we are working on a nominating committee to help in locating new potential board members for the upcoming stockholders annual meeting. If you are interested in serving on the board get with Casey, Courtney or let one of our current board members know.
Jerry Neufeld – President
Ladies Auxiliary
The Ladies Auxiliary will be decorating the club for Christmas on Saturday, November 21st at 2:00 p.m. Everyone is welcomed to come and help out, we would love to see you all there.
The annual Christmas part will be held on Monday, December 7th. Please bring a covered dish and a $15.00 gift.
The Ladies will be meeting throughout the winter starting November 4th to play Bunco, and will be playing the 1st Wednesdays of each month. If we get a good crowd, we may play twice a month starting in January. Please call before 4 to let Theresa know if you are eating (she is making a special trip out to cook for the ladies). Dinner starts at 6pm, bunco 7pm, $5.00 to play. Come out for a good time!
From the Golf Shop
Tournament season is over. Hope everyone had a great golf season. Now that the grass is turning brown, remember that there are several things that you can do to help the course through the winter. Remember to sand all divots, repair your pitch marks on the greens, and to stay on the cart path for as long as you can. Cart compaction can have a direct effect of the quality of turf that we have in the spring. Remember to do these things to help Mikel keep our course looking great.
The Senior Partnership was held on October 24th & 25th . The weather was good one day and then just awful on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather. Here is a list of members who placed in the tournament.
Championship Flight - 1st Place – Johnnie Guelker and Phil Mancuso

October Newsletter
From the President
First I want to try and keep everyone up to date on the grant writers. While we don’t have any grant money in hand at this very moment we are getting closer everyday. One grant that has already been submitted is for an emergency telephone (required by State law) at the swimming pool. The phone must be able to call 911 in the event of an emergency, 7 days a week 365 days a year, even thought the pool is closed 9 months a year (again state law). The grant is for the purchase of the phone and for the monthly monitoring fees for one year. This grant alone can save us hundreds of dollars. Other grants are still in progress. We have received bids from some paving companies to re-pave our roads and parking lots and the grant writers are currently working on finding sources of income for those. One thing that we are running up against is timing. A lot of the grants that are out there have deadlines of October 1st, so we are running out of time. The good news is our grant writers will continue their efforts after the first of the year when new grants are announced.
The “Party on the Patio” was a huge success. There were lots of people in attendance and tons of good food. I would also like to thank all those who donated money (we raised over $1,500) for the grant writers. The Ladies Auxiliary made a large donation of $500 towards the fee. Special thanks also goes to Bob and Debbie Lang for emceeing the night and buying the beer, Lynn Johnston for covering the cost of cooking the fajitas, and Clarence Vaughn for his “fundraising abilities”. I know there are many others who helped put on this event, but these folks went a little above and beyond.
The next thing I want to address is the condition of our course. The board of directors recently received an anonymous letter. While they were positive comments in some areas there was much ridicule. I know there are places that need improvement, but look at what has been done. The right side of number 4 was re-done last year and the right side of number 2 was re-done this year. The board of directors and the entire staff of Canyon CC are constantly trying to make this club the best it can be for the least amount of money. I would like to encourage our members who have a little extra time to offer to run a mower for Mikel and mow some of these areas that are being complained about, bring a chain saw there is plenty of tree trimming that needs to be done. You can always offer to help clean up the creeks along the course. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to pitch in and help make CCC a better course. We will get with Mikel and Casey and come up with a list of small of chores that need to be done, and members can volunteer their time and resources to help out the club. We would love to be able to hire additional staff for some of these tasks, but unfortunately we (the Club) barely make it month to month. We are doing the best that we can with what we have to work with.
I love the fact that we live in a democratic state where people can express their views without fear of persecution, but please come to me or another board member or talk to Casey in person about this one on one. Don’t send an anonymous letter belittling our club, come to a board meeting or call someone, lets work together to make Canyon CC a place we can all be proud of. As for our anonymous letter writer, I would love to sit down and discuss some of your ideas so please call me.

The Senior Partnership will be held on October 10th & 11th. This is open to men who are 50 years old or older. The first day will be a scramble and the second day will be low ball. Flights will be determined by your combined handicap. Call the golf shop to sign up your team or for more information.
The Ryder Cup was held at the end of September. The Men's side won this years contest, however, there were a lot of close matches and it really could have gone either way. Thanks to everyone who played and we will see everyone again next year.
Congratulations to Red Higginbotham for winning the 19-Man Shootout. He beat out a tough field this year to win the title. Jim Giacomazzi was second, Jim Farmer was third, Stan Price was fourth and Bob Lang was fifth. Thanks to everyone who played.
The Robert C. Burton 3-Man Scramble was a great success this year. Thanks to the Burton family for donating money for the meals for the weekend. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who played.
Winter time is coming up. Remember to stay on the cart path as long as possible when driving a golf cart. Also, please remember to fix your pitch marks on the greens and to sand all of your divots in the fairways. Thanks for making Canyon Country Club a great place to be a part of.

September Newsletter
From the President
It’s hard to imagine that summer has come and gone. We’ve had some ups and downs but overall it’s been a good summer and we are keeping our head above water.
With the end of summer comes the closing of the swimming pool. We closed the pool on August 23rd, we felt it was not cost effective to try and keep the pool operational during the week just to be open on Saturday and Sunday until Labor Day. We also lost one of our lifeguards to college so it was going to be hard to fill the spots with one less lifeguard. We estimated that we had over 1000 visitors to the swimming pool this past summer, that’s a lot of swimmers.
The Board of Directors met with a grant writer this past week, and we are very hopeful we can find some “free” money to help with course or facility improvements, and maybe help pay for some repaving of our roads within Canyon CC. We don’t know what kind of grants are out there, but the grant writer will explore every avenue possible.
We have formed a committee to head the exploration of the different grant options out there and what improvements we can make for the club. This committee will look at improving our roads, checking on the possibilities of repairing our well system, and even paying off our old SBA loan. This is only the start, with many other options on down the road. Right now we are in the process of getting our committee together, Dick Archer will be the Chairman with the committee members being, Wilma Higginbotham, Sue Herring, Joe Godfrey, Cindy Senter, Kyle Farmer. Other members may be appointed at a later time.
I know nearly everyone would love to see an additional 9-holes added, and that can be something we will look into, but we are going to prioritize some of our more pressing needs, then as we go on we will look at more improvements. The cost to hire this grant writer is $2,500 (she is giving us a ½ priced discount). We are glad accepting donations to help defray this cost. I know some people may think this $2,500 could be spent on some of these projects, but she assures us she will find us grant money to help cover the cost of some of these other larger tasks. I feel very comfortable that this will be money well spent. If you have any suggestions or would like to serve on the committee let me, any of the other board members or any committee members know.

It was a great summer this year. The weather never got to hot, we got a little bit of rain (keep your fingers crossed for more), and the golf course has never looked better. If you get a chance to see Mikal and his crew, be sure to tell him what a great job they have been doing.
The Ladies Chaparral was a big success this year. We had 28 teams from not only our club, but from all over the panhandle. Congratulations to Cindy Guelker and Kelli Mooring for winning first in the championship flight, Lori O'Loughlin and Kim Davis for placing third in the second flight, and Karen Steward and her partner, Gayle Brasher, for coming in second in the third flight.
The Super Scramble will be held August 30th with a 1:00 shotgun.This our year end member scramble. There will be over $1200 in prize money and possible skin money to be had. If you are interested in playing please call the shop to sign-up.
Hi-Plains Ladies Play Day will be held at CCC on Wednesday, September 9th. This will be a 9:00 shotgun start and regular play will start at 2:00 p.m.
The 19-Man Shootout is a fun event. It will be held on Sunday, September 13th. I will take the first 19 men to sign-up by the 12th of September. Cost is $10, so come out and enjoy the fun.
The Robert C. Burton 3-Man Scramble will be held on September 19th & 20th. There will be a morning and afternoon shotgun start on both days. To sign-up your team or if you have any questions, please call the golf shop.
The Ryder Cup Matches will begin on Saturday the 26th and end on Sunday the 27th. This is a fun event with the women versus the men. The men have won the last three years – but I’m sure the ladies will come out fighting to regain the cup. Every member is invited to play in this regardless of ability. If you would like to play or have any questions, please call the golf shop.
We will be closed on Monday, August 31st for fall aerfication. We will re-open on Tuesday at 10:00 for normal play.
We hope to see everyone on the golf course this fall. Remember that this is your club, so be proud to be a member. Remember to fix all your pitch marks on the greens, sand your divots in the fairways, and help keep us clean by picking up any stray trash you see lying around. Let's make sure that Canyon Country Club the best golf club in this area.

August Newsletter
From the President
This past month I played in the Club Championship. Believe it or not, it was my first time to play in the Championship. In years past either there was a scheduling conflict on my part or I didn’t feel like I was good enough to play. But I must say it was a lot of fun and very enjoyable. The horserace was exciting and nerve racking - not to brag but my team did win the horserace, (good job Cindy Guelker & Red Higginbotham). I want to thank Wayne and Beverly Johnson for the hard work and outstanding Bar-B-Q. I know Wayne and his sons were cooking most of the day and because of their generosity we raised over $600 for the club. Also bringing in some money was the dessert auction. It was very successful and we raised a little over $500 for the club just from cakes and pies. That weekend was a great time enjoying golf, food and fellowship with other members of the club. I want to encourage everyone next year to come and participate.
In other club business, the board is meeting with a grant writer to see if there is some funding to improve either the facilities or the course itself. We will explore several different projects, like building a new clubhouse and Proshop, building a new cart barn, improving the roads within the club, and course improvements. All this is very premature, but we wanted to let you know the board is constantly looking for ways to improve our club. We will keep you updated on any possible changes and invite you to attend the next board meeting and let us know what you think and how you would use the money to improve the club.
I would also like to ask our members to show their appreciation to the employees of Canyon Country Club. Our employees go above and beyond their duties most of the time, just to make members happy. They hear complaints from members about: the condition of the course or what they think the greens crew should be doing. People complain to the Pro Shop staff about slow play or who someone was pared with on a Friday night, and to the bartenders about their drink not being strong enough. This is only a sample of what they hear on a daily basis. Some of these employees work 10-12 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week and they also want the best for our club. I think we all need to make a conscious effort to show them our appreciation for the work they do.

The Club Championship was a great success this year. Not only did the tournament go well, the fundraising activities for the club went well also. The desert auction brought in $530.00 for the club and Wayne and Beverly Johnson's Bar-B-Que brought in over $600.00. That is over $1,100.00 for the club to use on various projects for the club. Thanks to all the ladies who made the wonderful deserts, everyone who bought and donated money for the deserts, and a big thanks to the Johnson group for the hard work and time.
