From the President
Hope this letter finds all our members having a great fall season. The weather this fall has been great and we have had a good turn-out for all our tournaments. I hope all of you have a chance to come out and play.
The course continues to be in good condition even though it has been stressed by the lack of rain, but Mikel and Javier are doing a great job of keeping it looking and playing great. I would like to extend a special THANKS to all who participated in the Pie Auction. I have been told that a total of $1,600 or so was raised for the ladies. They have very generously agreed to donate $1,500 of that to the fund to pay for our new sprayer. The sprayer has now been paid for without going into our general fund money. Thanks!!!!
Most of you are aware that we have been working hard to get the 40 acre land tract sold. We have run into several bumps as is usually the case in a land sale like this. It looks like we are getting very close to having this completed. We will let you know as soon as the transaction has been completed.
The Board of Directors has decided that we need to enforce the rule instituted several years ago that all our carts have two riders whenever possible. The pro-shop staff will be working hard to enforce this rule and we would appreciate your help in this effort. If a player wishes to ride alone when there are others in your group needing a cart, you will be charged for the full price of the cart. We are wearing our carts out by having one person on each cart when there are several players. Please help us enforce this rule whenever possible.
As of today, it looks like winter is about to start. Don’t let that keep you away from the club. We have several events planned like the Halloween Party and Christmas Party. Come on out and enjoy these times of good fellowship and it will help you get to know other members!

Hello members. As I sit here today and write this letter, it is about 40 degrees and the wind is blowing straight out of the north at about 25 mph. It looks as though winter may finally be arriving, unfortunately. I hope you all had a chance to get out and play a lot of golf this past year. We definitely had some great weather and the course was busier than ever. I’m sure that with Amarillo CC closing till late next year and one course under renovation at Ross Rogers, which had something to do with it. Although, I had many, many people say how much they liked our course, and how they planned to keep coming back. So hopefully that trend will continue into the future!!
Our last events of the year were played this month. Our backwards scramble was well received again. The winning team was that of Dan Luther, Rick Dabney, Joe Sanchez, Fernando Villalobos, and Gary Turner who shot a nice 63. Second place went to Garry Erdman, Regina Dinga, and Laurie and Ryan Hollingsworth who were just one back at 64.
The very next day we had our 19 man shootout. That was a close one and came down to a chip off on the last hole for Jerry Baker to edge out Roger Senter by about 6”. Doesn’t get much closer than that!! Danny Killough rounded out the top 3.
The Ryder Cup was, as it was last year, split into two groups, and with 28 players we had 14 per side. The winning team consisted of Javier Solis, Kim Davis, Jim and Trish Giacomazzi, Dan Luther, Deanna Sowers, Janice Price, Jimmy Jones, Roger Senter, Ronnie and Kay Reynolds, Marsha Kirk, Kyle Farmer, and fill-ins Craig Curlee, Garry Erdman, and Shelly Moore. Those players now have bragging right for one year. The final score was 9 points to 5. Thanks to all who participated in this fun annual event!!
Well with Christmas right around the corner, stop on by the pro shop and see if there are some presents you need. I will be running some Christmas sales in December, and as always if there is something you want or need and I don’t have it in stock, I can always get it ordered up for you. Usually takes about 2 weeks for any special orders. Please let me know if I can help you in any way!!
Hope to see you all around the club real soon!!

Well the summer rush came to an abrupt end when school started up again. It is very slow on the weekdays right now, so if you have the chance, come and take advantage of the limited course use. You can play a round at lightning pace right at the moment!! Hopefully we will still have our busy weekends and the club will get some revenue from the outside play.
Last weekend we held the Men’s Senior Partnership tournament. As usual, the course was in great condition, and we had 31 teams entered (almost double last year’s total). Seems that people are enjoying coming out for tournaments here!!! Our own members did very well in this one. Here’s how some of our own members fared:
Championship Flight:
1st Lynn Johnston and Don Cofer
First Flight:
2nd Travis Loe and Clarence Vaughn
Second Flight:
1st Rick Dabney and Stan Price
2nd Cleve Gustin and Craig Curlee
3rd Dick Arche and Roger Senter
Third Flight:
1st Charlie McClure and Ronnie Reynolds
3rd Pete Clay and Red Higginbotham
Thanks to all for your participation and congratulations on your outstanding play!!! We still have some tournaments coming up for you to play in before it gets too cold!! On October 6th and 7th we will have the Ryder Cup. Please call and put your name in for this one, this is a very fun event to play in!! The following week on the 13th we have the 2nd annual backwards tournament. Very very fun format and quite a strange way to play your course!! Haha. The last event of the year is the very next day on the 14th, and that is the 19 man shootout. Sign-ups for all these events are currently being taken in the pro shop. Call or stop by and reserve your spot in one or all of these events!!
As usual, if there is anything you would like to have from the golf shop but we don’t have it in stock for you, please let us know and most likely we can get it ordered up for you. Usually special orders take no more than 2 weeks, and our prices in the shop are better than you will find pretty much everywhere. So stop on by and get yourself something nice!!

From the President
Well, what a great summer we had at Canyon Country Club. The kids are all getting back in school, families are settling back into routine and fine fall weather will be coming in soon. The fall is always a great time to enjoy the golf course. Hope you all can come on out and play.
We had a great turn-out for the Club Championship tournament and I think everyone had a good time. Congratulations to Dan Luther who won the Championship Flight, Roger Senter, winner of the 2nd Flight, Red Higginbotham won the 3rd Flight and Robin Myers, who won the 4th Flight. In the Women’s division, Kelli Mooring won the Championship and Trish Giocamazzi won the net side. If you have never played in the shoot-out during the Championship weekend you have missed a great time. The Shoot-out was won by the team of Dan Luther (what a shot on #6) Deanna Sowers, Clarence Vaughn and Josh Neese. The course continues to be stressed by the lack of rain, but Mikel and Javier are doing a great job of keeping it looking and playing great. All of the dead trees, with the exception of those in the creeks, have been cut down. Johnny Vaughn did a good job of getting them down and has left some of the cut wood on the course if you would like to have some firewood. Contact Mikel or Clarence if you would like to pick some up. We will try to get more of the dead trees out of the creek area this winter.
Our chemical sprayer finally gave out on us last month and the board voted to replace it with a used sprayer that had been traded in to Toro. This was the best deal we could find and I think it will last us a long time.
From the Pro
Well it’s almost September already. This year has flown by!! The course has been extremely busy this summer with outside play, tournaments, and new members. It is nice to see all of the participation by members in tournaments this year!!! The Friday night scrambles are coming to a close here shortly, so if you want to play in any please call the golf shop and get signed up. The Super Scramble is scheduled for Sunday, September 16th at 2:00 shotgun. That means that the last scramble will be Friday the 14th. The Club Championship is happening this weekend, we have a nice turnout for this event. Thanks to all who have signed up and are supporting this event.
The Ladies held their annual Chaparral tournament on the 18th and 19th of August. There was a good turnout for this event with 24 teams playing. That was one team better than last years event!! Many of the club members played well and even won some money. Way to go Ladies!!!
There are a few events remaining this year to play in: On September 8th and 9th, we have the Robert C. Burton Memorial 3 Man Scramble tournament. This one usually attracts a good crowd, which means a better payout. If you want to sign up a team please call the golf shop and we will get you taken care of. Also in September is the 2 Man Senior Partnership on the 22nd and 23rd. Again sign up in the pro shop.
The pro shops very own Billy Pope had his first hole in one this month. He made it on hole #14 using a pitching wedge. The shot was witnessed by Garry Erdman and Craig Curlee. Excellent job Billy. I have been playing this game longer than you have been alive and you have more holes in one than I do!! Haha.
As always, please come by the pro shop and see if there is anything you can’t live without. And if you don’t see what you want, we can always order it for you!! Look forward to seeing you all out at the club very soon!!

Hope this finds everyone enjoying the warm summer weather as much as I do. I would like to start out this month’s letter by thanking some of the members who have been a big help in getting our course in such great shape. Even with the hot dry weather the course is looking and playing great. As you have noticed, we are in the process of cutting down the dead elm trees and having them hauled off. Johnny Vaughn has been hired to do this work and has been working hard to finish up. We are trying to get the dead trees on the course first and will try to get more in the creek area this winter. We have had several donations to help with this. Thanks to Red Higginbotham and Sue Herring for their help in this effort. Thanks to Clarence Vaughn for donating the skid loader and trailer for use in the clean-up and haul-off of the dead material.
The board has received complaints regarding the use of foul language around the club. I apologize to anyone who has been offended by this and would like to ask all members to remember that CCC is a family oriented club and we have many children around the club. Please refrain from use of bad language in any area of the club.
The washed out areas on Number 3 and 9 have been tilled, leveled and hydromulched. The grass is coming in very well and starting to look great! We would ask that you continue to avoid these areas while the grass gets started. We want to give a special THANK YOU to Jimmy Jones for a large donation to get this work done.
Some members have been going to the employees to complain about things they do not like regarding the operation and maintenance of the club, bar and golf course. Please remember that you need to speak to the board member in charge of the area of your complaint and they will get with the employees. Our employees are doing a good job and it is hard when they have too many bosses telling them what they need to do. Please contact a board member or me when you have a problem. We may have an answer or we will try to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Come on out and enjoy the pool, golf course, bar and restaurant!!! See you there!! Travis

Welcome to summer!!! We have had some great summer weather for golf, swimming or just being lazy. I see that the pool is staying busy, come on out and join us. The heater has been repaired in the pool and the last report I got was that it is at a warm 78 degrees and everyone says it feels great. Remind your friends that don’t have a good place to swim that CCC has a summer swim membership.
I hope everyone has been taking advantage of the golf course, it is in great shape and Mikel and Javier are working hard to make it look that way! Let them know that we really appreciate their hard work.
Friday night scrambles have been having a good turn-out and we are enjoying getting to know new members and older members who have not been out much. This is a wonderful time to make new friends and golfing partners. Remember, these scrambles are for all members regardless of ability.
The final Frank Self Pig Roast was held this month and they had a great tournament. Thanks to Frank for his hard work in putting that tournament on for so many years.
The screening around the pool has been put up and it works and looks great. Thanks to Bob and Debbie Lang for donating the screening and to all those who helped to install it. Thanks also goes out to Clarence Vaughn and Charlie McClure for filling some deep pot holes on the road.
The Ladies have done a great job with flower beds and plants on the course. We really appreciate the work you all do.
Have a great summer!!!

You all may have noticed just how busy the club is these days. We have gotten a whole pile of new members to sign up, which is AWESOME!! Along with that will come the fact that the course will be busier than it has been for the last year. With this in mind, please be aware that when you want to play, it is best to set up a tee time. Walking in and expecting to get out on the course, especially if it is Friday, Saturday, or Sunday may be a little un-realistic. So please call in and get yourself a time to play!!
The weather is hot, the course is fabulous, so come on down and play some golf!!! Hope to see you all real soon here at your club!!

Grandmothers Tournment
The "Grandmothers and More" tournment was held June 7th. This year's tournment was the first year that you did not have to be a Grandmother, but you did have to be at least 50 years of age. So you had two ways to be eligible, (1) you were a Grandmother or (2) you were 50 or older. Debbie Lang and Sally Tucker both placed in the tournment.
Welcome to summer!!! We have had some great summer weather for golf, swimming or just being lazy. I see that the pool is staying busy, come on out and join us. The heater has been repaired in the pool and the last report I got was that it is at a warm 78 degrees and everyone says it feels great. Remind your friends that don’t have a good place to swim that CCC has a summer swim membership.
I hope everyone has been taking advantage of the golf course, it is in great shape and Mikel and Javier are working hard to make it look that way! Let them know that we really appreciate their hard work.
Friday night scrambles have been having a good turn-out and we are enjoying getting to know new members and older members who have not been out much. This is a wonderful time to make new friends and golfing partners. Remember, these scrambles are for all members regardless of ability.
The final Frank Self Pig Roast was held this month and they had a great tournament. Thanks to Frank for his hard work in putting that tournament on for so many years.
The screening around the pool has been put up and it works and looks great. Thanks to Bob and Debbie Lang for donating the screening and to all those who helped to install it. Thanks also goes out to Clarence Vaughn and Charlie McClure for filling some deep pot holes on the road.
The Ladies have done a great job with flower beds and plants on the course. We really appreciate the work you all do.
Have a great summer!!!

From the President
Hope everyone is having a great start to Summer!
The pool is open and looks great, hope everyone can come down and enjoy a refreshing dip. A new deck was built over the old kiddy pool and it looks great. Thanks to Albert and Letha Key for donating the deck cover and to Clarence and Johnny Vaughn for building it!
We have been having a good number of green fee players that are really helping our financial situation, be sure and greet anyone you don’t recognize and invite them to become a member.
We are in the process of cutting a water control ditch to the right of #3. Please be patient as we finish up this project. It should really help out the erosion problems in the fairway.
Hope you all have a great June!

Hello to all and here comes summer!! The weather is starting to get hot, and the course is in excellent shape right now. We had the Bucks and Does tournament and also the Ladies Guest Day event this past month. We had a decent turnout for both events, although we would like to see more participation from the members, so remember to get signed up and come and play!! We also have the Friday night scrambles every Friday at 6:00 shotgun. These are always a fun deal, and it seems participation has been down for these events, so again make plans to come and play!! While on the subject of tournaments, we have the Double Couples coming up this June on the 23rd and 24th. We are currently taking sign ups in the shop, give us a call to get in the event!!
There is something that needs to be addressed as far as tee times are concerned. It seems that when people get signed up for tee times, many tend to show up “somewhere” around the time of their tee time. This is causing all sorts of issues in the shop which reflect on the ability to get out and play at your assigned time. If for instance you set up a tee time at 10:32, that means that you need to be on the course and teeing off at that specific tee time. When you show up 5 or 10 minutes late for your assigned time, it throws off the entire tee sheet for the rest of the day. Even if you show up at a time when it does not look busy, that doesn’t mean we are not busy later in the day. PLEASE make every effort to be available to go to the tee box at your assigned time. Also, we seem to be much busier this summer, especially with Amarillo CC closed down, and we are seeing more rounds at the course. If you want to play, again, PLEASE set up a tee time to come out and play. Just showing up and wanting to play, especially on the weekends, is not a good idea. You may have a 2 or 3 hour wait to get on the course, and we don’t want you to have to wait all day to play golf. We will do our best in the shop to get you on the course, but sometimes our hands are tied and there is nothing we can do. So set up a time, and that way you are assured of being able to play your golf course!!
Hope to see you all out at your club very soon. Remember that if there is something you want and I don’t have it in the shop, I can most likely get it ordered for you. And as Canyon CC members, you will receive 10% off any purchase you make!!
