From the President:
Hot, Hot, Hot. When will it end! Be sure to drink lots of water while out on the course. Pray for rain!
We had a great Doubles Couples Tournament. Some of the visiting players had some good comments about our club. They turned down the Tall Tower Open to play in our tournament, they said the course was in great shape, they liked the challenge of the course, the people were friendly and over all they had a great time.
We are very fortunate to have people who donate their money and time. Thank you to everyone who makes this club a great family type atmosphere. I don’t want to mention names because I would probably leave someone out. There are folks who do things that you never hear about. There is money donated from folks that you never hear about and this makes a special place to be a part of. Some of the things donated are: All of the sod you have seen lately has been donated. Plumbing repairs have been donated, equipment use has been donated, cart repairs and tire replacements have been donated, manual labor has been donated and many other things behind the scene that you do not see.
The women’s auxiliary has been great at fixing up and adding things that make the club a nice place to come. THANK YOU for your support!
With out all of the extras that are put into this club we would have a hard time keeping our heads above water. This also makes a good impression to those who wish to join our club.
We have had good comments on the swimming pool and the life guards. Way to go yall!
Attitudes are also important to a great club. Please give those who have helped a pat on the back and tell them how much we really appreciate their efforts. Keep positive to those who are visiting and looking for a club to join. Encourage them to come back and be a part of our family. Leave the negative things at home.
We finally got some insulation put in the pro shop. It was getting a little too warm to work in there. We are still in the process of getting bids to replace the windows in the pro shop and should have all the bids in sometime next week.
The adds and membership drive to run on KVII slipped a couple of weeks but should be up and running any day now so watch KVII for our adds. We need to up our membership so if you know any one looking for a good golf course to join, tell them about Canyon Country Club.
Watch the web site for updates and schedules.canyontxcountryclub.com
THANK YOU once again for all your do. Keep playing and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Well things here are on a roll. We have been very busy lately, which is a good thing. The Double Couples turnout was very good. We ended up with 18 teams (foursomes) which was nice considering the weather we had that weekend. Teams from CCC fared very well. There were 3 flights of 6 teams each, and 3 teams in each flight made money, so 50% of the participants got paid!! Results were as follows:
Championship Flight:
1st Chris & Whitney Purcell and Vic Giroux and Kris Reed -18
2nd Nate & Chrystal Seemann and R.L. and Heather Pond -18 (lost scorecard playoff)
3rd Jerry and Debbie Neufeld and James Josserand & Emily Neufeld -15
First Flight:
1st Garry Erdman & Claudia McCaslin and Clarence Vaughn & Francis Ruiz -14
2nd Roger Senter & Amy Johnson and Danny Killough & Marsha Kirk -13
3rd Lynn & Holly Johnston and Stan & Janice Price -12
Second Flight:
1st Bob & Debbie Lang and Scott & Debra Hetzler -7
2nd Kenny & Roxanne Steward and Rod & Marsha Johnson -2
3rd Larry Maxwell & Denise Salzbrenner and Leonard Neusch & Debra Kincaid -1
We appreciate all the participants who stuck it out and played in the crazy heat, and congrats to all the winners!!!
Also in June was the 2 Man Best Ball Championship, again with 18 teams. Results as follows:
1st Gross Jim Giacomazzi and Don Cofer -6
2nd Gross Rudy Ibarra and Eric Moya -5
3rd Gross Chad Pernell and Ty Stovall -4
4th Gross Barry Frost and Jerry Lockhart +6
1st Net Russell and Mitch Ashley -26
2nd Net Roger Senter and Clarence Vaughn -25
3rd Net David Stephenson and Rick Weitner -23
4th Net Rick Dabney and Stan Price -19
Bring your handicap if you plan on playing in this tournament next year!! Ha Ha!!
Remember that we try and stock the pro shop based on the feedback we get from you, the members, so if you don’t see your favorite brand in there, let us know so we can get it for you. Also check my prices against what you can find in town, my bet is that I can beat their prices handily!! The Roadrunner is scheduled for July 8,9, and 10, and the Pro-Am will be on July 25th; Friday nights are member scramble nights, so come on out and enjoy your club!!

June 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Greetings:
I don’t know about yall, but I’m ready for the wind to go somewhere else. Also, some rain would really be nice. Considering that, the course looks great but takes a lot of water to keep it going. The #4 and #9 sand traps are filled in and sodded. This is still ground under repair if you land in it. Thanks to Mikel and crew for fixing this. The wind has also blown a lot of large tree branches down and it will take some time to remove all of these, so be careful when driving underneath some of the old trees.
Talk about golfers, there have been 3 holes-in-one that I’m aware of lately; Johnny Vaughn, Dick Archer and Mark Sowers all had one’s recently. The Member’s Scrambles have been a lot of fun (except for the wind), and there are lots of new people playing our course.
We will be introducing a membership drive and ad campaign in association with KVII TV real soon. We will be targeting people who are age 35 years and younger. This does not mean that some one older can’t join; we want everyone to join up. The program kicks off in a couple of weeks so start watching KVII TV news & sports around the first of June. KVII is also helping us with our face book page so it should be up and running soon. Keep an eye on our web site (canyontxcountryclub.com) for up-dates and schedules.
Our work day was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who helped out. The pool was painted in about 1 ½ hours due to the amount of workers and it looks great! Our lifeguards came out and helped paint the pool, which will open on Memorial Day weekend. We still have several pool memberships available. The creek by the pond has been cleaned out and looks great. A lot of trash was picked up also, so when you see a can, paper, etc., pick it up and put it in the trash can. Thanks again to all of those who helped out – we couldn’t have done it with out you.
Several tournaments are coming up so check your schedule and get involved in as many as you can.
Pray for rain and get those handicaps down.
From the Golf Shop
Well things are starting to get into full swing around here. The Friday night scrambles are a huge hit, and we have had great participation in them so far. For those who have not played yet, please make some time and come join us. They are a lot of fun!! Just remember to call or stop by the pro shop to register before 4:00 the day of the event.
We have had another hole in one here at the club. This time it was Mark Sowers holing out his trusty 7 iron on hole #14 in front of his wife, Deanna, and friends Lynn and Holly Johnston. Way to go Mark!!! I guess it is possible to have a hole in one around here even if Clarence Vaughn is not in the group!! Ha.
The pro shop would like to take a moment to congratulate longtime shop assistant Billy Pope on his upcoming marriage to his fiancé Jesse on May the 28th. The next time many of you see Billy he will be a married man. Congratulations, Billy, we wish you a long and happy marriage!!! And while on that note, the golf shop welcomes Austin Hamil as Billy’s replacement in the pro shop. Many of you probably know Austin as he has worked at the club for the last couple of years as one of the lifeguards. Say hello to Austin the next time you come by.
The Bucks and Does couples scramble was held on the 21st and 22nd of May. We had a very nice turnout with 36 teams signing up. We ended up with 4 separate flights, based on handicaps, with the results as follows:
Championship Flight
1st Place: Johnny and Cindy Guelker 64 – 59
2nd Place: Mike Self and Catherine Musser 63 – 64
First Flight:
1st Place: Laurie and Ryan Hollingsworth 67 – 68
2nd Place: Dan Luther and Susan Baltz 71 – 70
Second Flight:
1st Place: Russell Ashley and Alicia Walden 71 – 67
2nd Place: Stan and Janice Price 70 – 70
Third Flight:
1st Place: Nate and Chrystal Seemann 72 – 70
2nd Place: Lynn and Holly Johnston 71 – 77
Thanks to all who participated and great playing!!
We still have many events coming up to play in. Next on the agenda is the Grandmothers tournament on June 2nd, followed by the two man best ball on June 11th and 12th, and the Double Couples on June 25th and 26th. If you want to play in any of these fun tournaments, please let the pro shop staff know, and the sooner the better. The cut off date for the large events is usually the Wednesday prior to the start date.
Last but not least, we are working on getting a facebook page established for Canyon Country Club. This is still in the works, but check it out if you have a chance. Hope to see you around the course soon!!

From the President:
Greetings: We lost another one of our dear members – Buddy Townsend. Please keep this family in your prayers. Buddy will truly be missed. He was a joy to be around especially during the Friday night scrambles.
Golf play is beginning to pick up. However, we need more members so if you have any good ideas we can use to recruit new members please tell one of the board members. We have already had several suggestions from our current members and will try to decide which ones will work.
The first Friday night scramble was a success and it was good to see old and new faces on the course. Teresa cooked catfish following the scramble – way to go Teresa. Check the schedule on line to see when the scrambles are scheduled.
Don’t forget our work day on Saturday May 7. We need to paint the swimming pool and clean up around the course. If we get enough people, we can do this in about 3- 4 hours or less. We are still in the process of filling in the sand trap on #4 green so now this is considered ground under repair.
Tim is beginning to get new merchandise in the pro shop so check it out the next time you are in there. If you need new clubs or repairs or anything that pertains to golf, he can get you fixed up.
We still have one of the best value’s in the Texas Panhandle – Canyon Country Club. It’s no secret – words out – Spread the Word.
From the Golf Shop
Hello to all. There are many things to report about this month. We had two holes-in-one this month, both on hole #7. On April 17th, Johnny Vaughn used a 4 iron to knock it in the hole. Witnessing his shot of the year were his brother Clarence, Cleve Gustin and Travis Loe. Six days later on April 23, Dick Archer used a 5 wood in very windy conditions to hole it out for his first ever. His playing partners were Gary Erdman, Craig Curlee and, again, Clarence Vaughn. I think Clarence is the good luck charm around here!!
A reminder that May 7th is clean up day for the club starting at 8:30. The main projects are repainting the pool and cleaning up the trash in the creek. Lunch will be provided for all that volunteer. The more we have the quicker it gets done!!
We had the first member scramble on April 22 with some great weather to boot!! There were 44 players in the field, and there is always room for more, so don’t forget to come out and play in these fun events!! The winning team with a score of 6 under 29 was Kelli Mooring, Bob Lang, Brito Valdez and Chrystal Seemann. We will see if anyone can better that score this Friday!!
I am offering some range packages for those who want to get in some more practice and bring their game around. If you want to sign up month to month, cost is $20 for an individual or $30 for a family. Or, you can sign up for the entire year for $125 for an individual or $175 for a family. This plan is offered only to members of the club, and not available to the general public. Just stop by the shop to get going. Plans will start the first of each month. Also remember that as members of the club, you receive 10% off of purchases of clubs, bags, shoes and clothing. For smaller items like balls and gloves, the discount does not apply (basically because I sell them at such a small mark up). Also I am always getting in new things, some that you may need, so stop by some time and check out what I have.
The last thing to report on is the number of carts in a group. This will be necessary especially when we can start driving in the fairways. If you are in a group of 4, please limit your carts to 2 per group. If there are 5 in your group, then it is ok to have 3 carts. Please, lets try and stick to this. It will create less wear on our fairways and also less wear on the carts themselves. Your cooperation on this is greatly appreciated!! The weather is getting warm, the grass is turning green, so come on out to the club and play some golf!!

From the President
The trees are beginning to leaf out, the grass is beginning to turn green and golf play is starting to increase. What a great way to start off spring. I am always amazed at God’s creation every time I drive to the club. There are not very many places in the world where you can see all 4 seasons and the abundant of wildlife we have in the canyon.
If you have wondered about all of the little yellow and pink flags all along the road, the phone company is in the process of laying a new fiber optics cable. Please watch out for their equipment. Hopefully they won’t be there too long.
Starting with the Adios tournament, on the weekends, and other tournaments, we will be running a beer/soft drink cart. We will run this for a while and see how it works. We will not run it during the middle of the week. This will be cash only for non members. Members may charge it to their account or pay cash. It may take a few trips to work out the kinks so please be patient with us.
Take a look around the next time you are in the pro shop. WOW! Tim has done an excellent job of cleaning and rearranging it. He has new stuff ordered so you should see an increase in merchandise very soon. The carts are all running but in the event you find something wrong with one of them, please tell Tim and give him the number of the cart so we can get it repaired.
Hope everyone survived the winter and is now ready to play golf. We need new members so tell everyone you know who plays golf to come visit our course and let’s try to increase our membership.
Have a good round and get your handicap’s down.
Board of Directors
Dick Archer
From the Golf Shop
Well the year is off to a great start as far as tournaments go. We had 32 teams sign up for the Adios 3-man scramble, a great turn out! There were 4 flights of 8 teams each. Aside from the 6 hour rounds and the less than desirable temperatures, things went pretty much to plan. There was a tie for the winner in the Championship Flight, and those teams decided to go ahead and split first place rather than play it off in the dark or do a scorecard playoff. The winning teams were Philip Fetzer, Scott Perry, and Jerry Hoover tied with Chris Sloan, Chad Coleman, and Dario Garza at 16 under par. In the First Flight it was Bobby Boswell, Ed Burge and David Moore who won a scorecard playoff to claim first prize in their flight. Second Flight was won by Clarence Vaughn, Johnny Vaughn, and Trish Giacomazzi. And last but not least, the Third Flight was taken by Rick Dabney, Janice Price and Stan Price. Low round of the weekend belonged to Chad Pernell, Nate Seemann, and Doug Simms. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for playing!! Hopefully our next tournament, the 2 man best ball on April 16 and 17, will have some warmer weather for everyone!! Give us a ring in the pro shop if you want to play and we will be sure to sign you up. Play is again slated for 2 shotguns each day at 8:30 and 1:30. The new merchandise is finally starting to arrive in the pro shop. If there is something you would like to see us carry but don’t have, please let us know so that we can see about getting your favorite brand in here. We will also be offering a monthly range pass to those who are interested in getting in a little more practice. If you are a member of CCC you can sign up at the beginning of each month in the shop for a cost of $25. There is no monthly plan for those who are not members. This will entitle you to all the range balls you want to hit that month. Just let one of the pro shop staff know and we can get you going. Hope to see you all out at the club real soon!!

April 6th will be the first OFFICIAL Wednesday night ladies play day of 2011. There will be a different game every Wednesday and prizes at the end of the year. Please call the golf shop by 4:00 to sign up and play begins at 6:00. All ladies are invited to play including non-members – so come on out, bring a friend and have a great time playing golf.
Fundraisers
The CCC Ladies Auxiliary will be selling changes on a $500 gift card again this year. Tickets are $1.00 a piece or six (6) for $5.00. Remember money received from fundraisers go directly back into the update and beautification of the club. Auxiliary members if you don't have your tickets, please contact Lori O'Loughlin.
High Plains Ladies Golf
Play starts in April and ends in October. Cost is $15.00 membership fee and $35 a month (this include cart fee, green fee, snack for breakfast and lunch). A different golf course is played each month, those include, Farwell, Muleshoe, Tulia, Hereford, Canyon, Clovis Muni and Chaparral Country Club in Clovis.
The trees are beginning to leaf out, the grass is beginning to turn green and golf play is starting to increase. What a great way to start off spring. I am always amazed at God’s creation every time I drive to the club. There are not very many places in the world where you can see all 4 seasons and the abundant of wildlife we have in the canyon.
If you have wondered about all of the little yellow and pink flags all along the road, the phone company is in the process of laying a new fiber optics cable. Please watch out for their equipment. Hopefully they won’t be there too long.
Starting with the Adios tournament, on the weekends, and other tournaments, we will be running a beer/soft drink cart. We will run this for a while and see how it works. We will not run it during the middle of the week. This will be cash only for non members. Members may charge it to their account or pay cash. It may take a few trips to work out the kinks so please be patient with us.
Take a look around the next time you are in the pro shop. WOW! Tim has done an excellent job of cleaning and rearranging it. He has new stuff ordered so you should see an increase in merchandise very soon. The carts are all running but in the event you find something wrong with one of them, please tell Tim and give him the number of the cart so we can get it repaired.
Hope everyone survived the winter and is now ready to play golf. We need new members so tell everyone you know who plays golf to come visit our course and let’s try to increase our membership.
Have a good round and get your handicap’s down.

From the Golf Shop
Well the year is off to a great start as far as tournaments go. We had 32 teams sign up for the Adios 3-man scramble, a great turn out! There were 4 flights of 8 teams each. Aside from the 6 hour rounds and the less than desirable temperatures, things went pretty much to plan. There was a tie for the winner in the Championship Flight, and those teams decided to go ahead and split first place rather than play it off in the dark or do a scorecard playoff. The winning teams were Philip Fetzer, Scott Perry, and Jerry Hoover tied with Chris Sloan, Chad Coleman, and Dario Garza at 16 under par. In the First Flight it was Bobby Boswell, Ed Burge and David Moore who won a scorecard playoff to claim first prize in their flight. Second Flight was won by Clarence Vaughn, Johnny Vaughn, and Trish Giacomazzi. And last but not least, the Third Flight was taken by Rick Dabney, Janice Price and Stan Price. Low round of the weekend belonged to Chad Pernell, Nate Seemann, and Doug Simms. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for playing!! Hopefully our next tournament, the 2 man best ball on April 16 and 17, will have some warmer weather for everyone!! Give us a ring in the pro shop if you want to play and we will be sure to sign you up. Play is again slated for 2 shotguns each day at 8:30 and 1:30. The new merchandise is finally starting to arrive in the pro shop. If there is something you would like to see us carry but don’t have, please let us know so that we can see about getting your favorite brand in here. We will also be offering a monthly range pass to those who are interested in getting in a little more practice. If you are a member of CCC you can sign up at the beginning of each month in the shop for a cost of $25. There is no monthly plan for those who are not members. This will entitle you to all the range balls you want to hit that month. Just let one of the pro shop staff know and we can get you going. Hope to see you all out at the club real soon!!

March 2011 Newsletter
From the President
The snow we had was wonderful for the golf course. Hopefully the bitterly cold weather is behind us and as the weather warms up, and there is an increase in play.
Welcome our new board of directors. If you don’t know who they are, stop in the club house and see their photos hanging on the wall. Already they have come up with some new ideas that will help play and improve our course. If you have any ideas to help improvements, please give your information to one of these folks.
Tim is finally here. If you haven’t had a chance to meet him, stop by the pro shop and visit with him. He brings us some new and fresh ideas for the club. He is also busy painting and cleaning up the pro shop. What a difference a coat of paint makes.
We had a very successful Polar Bear tournament and the Mikel’s Revenge / beat the Pro tournament. I think this is the first time the weather has cooperated. Good turn out. It was good to see folks back on the course playing again.
The next time you play, look around the course. Mikel and his crew have been doing some clean-up. The old brick fountains on No 4 tee box and No. 9 tee box are gone. Also, (thanks to Roger Senter), we have removed the old shed and tank next to No. 3 tee box. When you are out and about, if you see any trash, coke cups, beer cans etc. please pick them up and put them in a trash can.
Get your clubs out of the garage, clean them up, buy some new balls from Tim, the grass shows signs of green and the weather is warming up so: LET’S PLAY GOLF!
Dick Archer – President
Board of Directors
From the Golf Shop
Thanks so very much for the warm welcome I have received here from all of you members. I am excited to be here, and appreciate the opportunity you all have given me. I have done some extensive cleaning in the golf shop along with some new paint colors and some organization. Hopefully you will like the new look in there!!
I will soon have some new merchandise on order, although I still need to visit with the representatives from the golf companies and get accounts set up, merchandise ordered and so forth. So please bear with me as new things should start showing up in the golf shop soon. If there is something you would like to see carried in the shop such as a favorite brand of clothing or balls or clubs, please let me know.
I would like to thank all of you who showed up to support the beat the pro tournament on the 19th. It was a great showing from the members, as me and Mikel didn’t win one single bet. Ouch!! All of the credit from this event has been put onto your club accounts, and you can use those credits for purchasing merchandise in the shop.
On that note, according to my understanding in the past you paid your golf shop accounts through the club. With the new point of sale system I am installing in the shop, you will actually see a separate statement from me if you happen to have an outstanding balance. So just a heads up on that.
I am still learning everyone’s names and faces, so please bear with me if I happen to refer to you as someone else. I promise to do my best to know you all soon!! Again thanks for all your hospitality, and if there is anything I can do for you please don’t hesitate to ask!!

Febuary 2011 Newsletter
From the President
First off I want to thank Jerry Neufeld for serving as our club president for the past 3 years. Also a big thank you to Wilma Higginbotham, and Sue Herring for serving on the board. These people were a big asset to the club and will be missed. We are a family and there are not any better members than what we have at CCC.
2011 brings a challenging year. With the economy being tight and fewer rounds of golf played, we are all challenged to step up to the plate and help out where ever we can. We have a great staff to work with and with Tim Davis arriving soon as our new Pro, we are looking forward to new ideas, new members, and ways to improve our course and increase our membership. We had a great stockholders meeting and several changes were made and a host of good ideas to work on. We will do our best to keep everyone informed of the happenings at CCC. Please check the web site from time to time. Let’s hope the weather cooperates through the remainder of winter so we can get ready for the Friday night scrambles.
A big thanks to Zach, Courtney and Billy for taking control of the Pro shop till Tim arrives and a big thanks to those who have volunteered to fill in while Zach and Billy attend classes.
Dick Archer, President – Board of Directors
Super Bowl Party
The Super Bowl Party at the club will begin at 4:30 on Sunday, February 6th. We will have plenty of food and there will be a chance for you to win some money with our annual Squares Pot. We would love to see everyone there, so don’t forget the party starts at 4:30.
Mikel’s Revenge / Beat the Pro
Our wonderful superintendent gets to play the role of the Evil Greenskeeper on Saturday, February 19th. Mikel will be setting the pins in the most difficult positions that he can find and the tees will be set way back. Find yourself a partner and see if you can stomach the six-putts that are inevitable. The format will be a two person scramble. There will be a 10 stroke handicap limit on your team. Also, there will be an optional Beat-the-Pro tournament. Mikel and Tim will play in the scramble, and yes we will be zero handicaps – (although many could argue that we probably need a few strokes!). The costs of the tournament will $20 for the scramble per player and an extra $10 per player for the Beat-the-Pro portion of the tournament. If you play in the Beat-the-Pro portion, you will automatically receive a $10 credit in the golf shop. If you beat Mikel and Tim, then you double your wager! You can’t lose! Teresa will be making dinner following play.
Ladies Auxiliary
The Ladies Auxiliary will be meeting on Thursday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the community room with NO SMOKING allowed. All ladies are invited to come and be a part of the Ladies Auxiliary. This does not just include the women that play golf, but all ladies that are a member of CCC, as their fundraisers go directly back into the update and beautification of the club. Plus they have a really good time! Dues for 2011 have increased to $20 with $1 going to the hole in one...so the total is $21 for those who want to participate in this.
Membership Dues Increase
As of March 1st, the membership dues will increase to $138.13 per month. This was discussed and voted on during the January Stockholders Meeting.
From the Pro Shop
Zach, Billy, and Courtney would like to thank all of the members that have helped us during the past couple of months. We could not have gotten through it without your help. Also, I hope everyone is as excited as we are about Tim Davis being our new Pro. We are looking forward to working with him and making our club grow. Also because of the lack of moisture, we are Cart Paths Only. We will allow those that need it a flag for the cart, but try to stay on the cart path as long as possible. I hope that everyone will have a great year, and that the weather will be nice enough so we can all have a chance to go out and enjoy our beautiful club. See you on the course!

December 2010 Newsletter
From the President
Well it’s hard to believe how fast these past 3 years have gone. It seemed like only yesterday when I agreed to serve on the board and was nominated and elected to serve as President of Canyon CC. I have learned so much about the inner workings of a golf course and what it takes to keep a business a float.
The most important thing that helped me was our staff. I know that most businesses will tell you their staff is the best, but I truly believe Canyon CC would not be in as good as a position (course or financially) as we are if it were not for our staff. Casey was a huge asset to the club, and while we didn’t always agree with a direction or particular project, he was willing to set down and talk things out and do what was best for the members. He was willing to do whatever was necessary to make Canyon CC successful and competitive as a business. At times during the summer Casey would work as many as 60-70 per week, maybe even more. He really went above and beyond his duties, and I really appreciate all help and guidance he gave me during my time on the board. I wish him all the best in his new endeavor.
Speaking of Golf Pro’s, we have put together a search committee comprised of stock members & board members to help in the search for a new Head Golf Pro. We have advertised with the PGA (at no cost) and are accepting resumes till November 29th. The search committee will start meeting in December and conduct interviews and hope to have a recommendation to the Board by the first part of January. With any luck the new Pro can be introduced at the annual stock holders meeting.
I would like to recognize Mikel & Javier for the tremendous work they do for our golf course. These two guys work countless hours for the club. When you look at the amount of staff some golf courses have these guys do it with just the two of them (with some summer help). That to me is amazing. Talk to other golfers in the panhandle, I bet if they have played CCC they would tell you the course was in fantastic shape and would become members if we had a full 18 holes.
The other staff members are also a huge asset to the club, Courtney, Zach, Billie, Cassidy are valuable employees. Zach and Billie are now taking on more responsibility in running the shop with just the two of them. Courtney is also adjusting her hours to help out in opening the shop on Tuesday s and Thursdays. Thanks guys and gals.
With Casey now gone, there may be times that the Pro Shop is not opened at 8 or even 8:30. If there was a heavy frost on the ground, there is no reason to pay these guys to come open the shop and sit around waiting for the greens to thaw out. Please keep that in mind if you are calling to book a tee time or to come down and play.
I would also like to take this time to thank all those I have served with over the past few years. Without listing names (cause I would probably forget someone), I would like to say thanks for serving on the board of directors, thanks for pitching in when we needed some help, financially or physically. It was always comforting to know that our board members would go well above and beyond what was asked of them to serve. I also don’t want to forget our members. I believe we have some of the finest members in the panhandle maybe even the state. Even though we had our disagreements I believe our members are a true asset to Canyon CC.
Lastly, I want to look to the future. We do have some difficult choices coming up in January at our annual Stock Holders meeting. We have been running on a shoestring budget for the last few years and we are going to have to make some changes. Go ahead and mark your calendar now, the annual meeting will be on January 17 at 7:00pm.
